    This was a fun video to watch! We've stayed on both sides and Kaanapali wins for us too. We get the same amazing experience at half the cost, especially since we always get a car and can drive south to enjoy Wailea's amenities.

    this became one of my favorite channels on youtube lol, you guys are just great. just got back from kanaapali 2 weeks ago back to rainy NYC, already nostalgic about it back to watching your videos, definitely going back for a longer trip next year, gotta make it at least 2 weeks this time, didnt get to do the full road to hana, only got up to twin falls and just a few stops after, stayed at aston kanaapali shores but maybe next time we'll stay at kaanapali beach hotel since its in walking distance to black rock beach, where i got to see the most turtles, no turtles at mackenna beach :( we stayed almost the entire trip on black rock beach thanks to you guys, i got to see the same amount of different fish right there at black rock just the same as if you were to snorkel at molokani crater, we did the molokani redline rafting 2hr snorkel tour just as you suggested :) got to see whales on the way back to shore and they even stopped the boat and talked about whales for like 20 minutes, so if you do just that tour its not really necessary to do a separate whale watch tour, cause you're getting to see whales for free basically, its a 2 in 1. honestly molokani crater has the same diversity of marine life as black rock, the only difference is i got to see an eel but really its all the same fish as in black rock beach, minus the turtles. black rock is FULL of them, as soon as you step into the water. plus its great that you have the sheraton right there you can always go get a cocktail and go back to the beach. i dropped your guys' channel name everywhere, thanks for all the tips, made our first hawaii vacation SO much easier! next time ill buy your guides. all the best of luck to you!

    We did Kaanapali for a couples getaway and Wailea for a family vacation with the kids. Can't go wrong with either of them, or Hawaii in general. Cheers.

    Kapalua Bay is the crowning jewel of Maui. So, if you can't decide between Wailea and Ka'anapali, just head up to Kapalua. ;)

    Always so grateful for your very informative videos. Thank you so much. We just came back earlier this week. Stayed in Kaanapali and were a bit unlucky with rain. Definitely rains less often down south in Wailea. We’ll try it next time when we win the lottery. 😂

      It has been a very wet winter on Maui. I just sent our newsletter out with things to do in the rain as the rains just keep coming. I hope you still had a great time!

    Thanks for wonderful information and lovely videos. Going to Maui for first time and we are on budget. Wondering if we stayed in not so expensive condo, can we use the pools of the luxury resort or hotels as public? in other words, can we day visit the resort and enjoy the restaurants and pools and do not stay in the expensive resort (go somewhere else for sleep) ?

    • @TheHawaiiVacationGuide
      @TheHawaiiVacationGuide  Рік тому

      I’m not aware of any resorts in Maui that offer day passes. Kauai has a couple and they are about $100 to use the pool.

    Thank you for the vidéo. We will be in Maui for 9 nights in midi septembre. Did you suggest to stay at the same hotel for 9 day's or it's better to split the half of our star un kaanapali and the rest at Wailea?

    • @TheHawaiiVacationGuide
      @TheHawaiiVacationGuide  Рік тому +1

      We like to split things up. We also sometimes stay at a vacation rental for the more adventurous/ go go go part and then do a relaxing resort for the rest
