This last May, we spent a week at the Marriott Aruba Surf Club (MSU), in a 2-BDRM. We are now into our second week at the Marriott Maui Ocean Club (MOC), Lanai tower, also in a 2-BDRM.
The units are very similar, both with full kitchens and W/D. MOC is a little bigger overall: kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and lanai, but both very comfortable. The grounds at MOC are also larger, with more towers, more pools, a longer beach, nicer water, but no lazy river.
When rating Maui to Aruba, along with MOC vs MSU, Maui wins hands down.
1. More things to do.
2. Larger island
3. Better weather
4. Feels like home
5. Better beaches
6. Better diving, both SCUBA & snorkel
7. Better resources for food, including Costco & Foodland
8. Rental cars are cheaper and less hassles
9. No problems with debit cards in Hawaii
I luv Hawaii.
