My wife and I visited in June 2011 for our honeymoon. The villa isn't a hotel, but rather a condo that is rented out when the owners are away. Each room will be different in both decor and style, so YMMV from our experience. This is the kind of place if you want to be self sufficent but have a... More

Just got back from Kapalua and did not have alot of free time, but did do three small hikes. The first involved the Honolua Ridge trail. This is a 1.5 round trip hike. It is all uphill on the way to the look out. The lookout point allows you to look down at the Kapalua resort which is 6 miles... More

Just got back from playing the plantation golf course, home of the Hyundai Open. The course is beautiful and worth every penny to play but be weary of the winds, hopefully you hit the ball low and hard as the wind will carry it all over the place. There are views on almost every hole which will always remind you... More

Want to have a cheap day in Maui? Rent at Snorkle Bobs, $8.00/day & drive down to Kapalua Bay. There's ample free parking, clean bathrooms & outdoor showers to rinse off sand before you leave. Take a small cooler & stop at the Honolua General Store (same resort, you'll drive by on the road to beach) to pick up lunch,... More

Was somewhat nervous, having never been ziplining before. Our guide Dennis and his team were very knowledgeable and made it easy to do. Even though I was really scared at first, their attention to safety and patience made it all worthwhile. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone. We had a steady drizzle and strong crosswinds the entire time.... More

Plantation golf course at Ritz Carlton: Called ahead to make sure they had shower facilities with towels.  There was no attendant in locker room but a basket with used towels indicated some existed. Asked staff where you picked up cart and they spent 20 minutes trying to find one.  In the end, all they could do was give us several... More

We normally stay in Kihei, and decided to spend some time in the northwestern area of Maui. We booked a condo through Ridge Realty, and the folks there were wonderful to deal with! Got a gorgeous condo through their website, and it was a very smooth rental transaction. Kapalua Bay and Fleming Beach were a bit too rough for swimming... More

We rented a car from enterprise as the drive from the main airport is about an hour. The drive is beautiful, when we were picking up our rental car our bus driver mentioned beach 14... More
