Kahana Falls vs Maui Schooner

Ladies and gentlemen! We have a real heavyweight bout going on here!

In the east corner we have Kihei, with it's beautiful sunsets and hopping activity with close access to Molokini and Haleakala! :cheer:

In the west corner, we have Kahana, with easy access to Lahaina, Kaanapali, and Kapalua and all that West Maui has to offer, including equally beautiful sunsets and fine dining! :cheer:

.....and it seems we have a split decision! ALL of Maui is good and there's enough for everybody! No losers!!!!!:D

Aloha,

Marty

Totally agree! :cheer:

As I've said before, it's a good thing we don't all like the same area. ;)
 
Maui Lea is very close to Wailea, literally less than a mile, so if you want the upscale area for a bargain price, get an exchange through TPMaui.com.

Maui Lea is going to be a future trip during off season for two weeks for us. We love the area for different reasons. I still prefer the Lahaina/ Ka'anapali/ Kahana area. I personally adore Honokowai.
 
@Cathyb
Luanne gave you a good list. On her list we love the food at Coconuts. There are several fruit stands in this area. Long's and Times Grocery are in this area. I think it's 1 mile to Times. they have a good deli for take out.
No there is no concierge but we do have an activities director, Judy. She can arrange any tour you would like. You can even call her before you arrive to schedule a tour. I think Thursday is her day off.
You can rent a local car from Kihei Car Rentals if you want something to just drive along pokey ole Kihei Road at 35 -20 MPH for a few days.
Cathyb, you could walk down to Azeka Place, eat at the Vietnamese place, or across the street at Coconuts for great fish (very casual) then grocery shop at Times Market and grab a cab back to the Schooner.

Hey, I like your ideas, thank you. I guess I would call a cab from my cellphone. Do you know its name and/or phone no. ? I'll look it up.
 
Cathyb, the front desk gals at the Schooner can help you with that. They will know which taxi company is in that area. Just ask them when you arrive.
There are shuttles that you can take from the airport to the Schooner. Check Spedi shuttle http://www.speedishuttle.com/ and Executive shuttle http://www.mauishuttle.com/ either would be cheaper than a taxi from the airport. Taxis are expensive on Maui.
Kihei Rental car will also pick you up in a van at the airport and take you to Kihei to their car rental if you want an older car for a few days and don't want to drive from the airport, or wait until mid trip and they will pick you up at the Schooner if you decide to rent.
Hope this helps.

Staying in Schooner for first time. What restaurants are within 1/2 mile as we might not have a car. How about your favorite restaurants in the Kihei area? If we choose to take a tour,is there a concierge onsite? Thanks!

Even if you don't have a car, treat yourself to a meal. any meal, at Bev Gannon's Restaurant in Wailea.

Incredible food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Have you checked Discount Hawaii Car Rental for prices? I don't think you will do any better.

Even if you are up in the Lahina end of the island, give Bev Gannon's restaurant a shot early in your trip. Guaranteed to get you back at least a second time.

If the mountain by the tunnel and wind turbines is on fire, like it was one time when we visited, you'll be glad you are in Kihei (The Lahina folks (and aircraft crews) couldn't get to the airport.

You'll have a great time where ever you are on Maui.:cheer:

Aloha, Sterling (Maui Schooner Owner)

ps: Be sure and try Bev Gannon's REstaurant
 
Sterling,

I was wondering when you would post on this thread. :D

Aloha,

Marty
