OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The 2.5-star Maui Beach
Hotel is located only three miles from
Kahului Airport and within walking distance
of two large shopping malls. This is a
budget property that offers clean rooms and
good service at very reasonable prices and
is perfect for those who plan to spend
little time in their rooms. Even though it
is close to the main airport, the property
is not affected by noise of the planes
taking off.
Property amenities include a swimming pool
and sundeck on the 2nd floor as well as a
restaurant and lounge/bar, also on the 2nd
floor. There is complimentary parking and
the hotel offers a complimentary airport
shuttle service on request, available from
early morning until late at night. Part of
the property does have a very narrow beach
at low tide, but the area is not safe for
swimming. The Maui Beach also has privileges
for their guests at an 18-hole, par 71 golf
course in Kihei, about 10 miles away.
The Maui Beach Hotel is one of the very
closest hotels to Haleakala (House of the
Sun), a must see for all visitors to Maui.
It involves driving up a dormant volcano in
time to see the sunrise over the opposite
side of its crater. You'll have to get up at
about 4 am to drive up there (depending on
the time of sunrise) and wait in bitterly
cold weather (blame the altitude and the
wind chill factor combined, regardless of
the time of year). But, when the sun comes
up, it is an unforgettably glorious sight
with the rays of the sun shooting down into
the crater with cinder cones as tall as the
Empire State Building and a landscape that
looks like it came from the moon.
On your way back down the mountain, probably
still chilled to the bone from the
experience, stop off at the Kula Lodge on
the left side half way down the mountain.
Warm up in front their fireplace (always
lit), have a really good breakfast and see
where the two volcanoes that created the
island of Maui joined together, with water
on each side.
So if you are coming to Maui for just a
quick weekend to see Haleakala, the Maui
Beach Hotel would be a perfect place to stay
- inexpensive, friendly, helpful staff,
clean rooms and a lot closer to the mountain
than anywhere else. And if you're coming for
longer and plan to be active all day long,
exploring all the hiking trails, waterfalls
and various other adventures Maui has to
offer, this again would be a good place to
stay. Why spend your money on resort
features if you're not going to be around to
enjoy them? |
