I think the best snorkeling spot on Maui is at Ahihi Keanau Marine Reserve:

No waves, easy access....depending on how busy it is you may have to park up the street and walk. It's in south Maui after the Makena Resort.
After seeing a shark (TINY reef shark
) at Molokini the trip before, hubby was afraid to go back in the water. This was the perfect place to get him back in. No waves, shallow with lots of great fish.

No waves, shallow with lots of great fish.I am still looking at hotels, condos, etc.. I was able to get air fare now searching for places to stay in Mau. In Oahu we were thinking about the Outrigger Reef on the beach for our first 3 days then looking to stay at Hyatt Regency in Maui for the balance of my trip.
A co-worker told me today his brother stayed at the Royal Lahaina Resort and stayed in one of the Tower Rooms and he said these were more modern than the cottages. He said they had a fab time and service and rooms were excellent. Has anyone here been to this resort?
So may I ask which was your favorite and which one you liked the least?
I forgot about the Grand Wailea.
The best by far was Four Seasons Maui - AMAZING everything, every attention to detail, very personalized service there.
Fairmont Kea Lani was also fantastic.
Least favorite was Grand Wailea. The pools were not kept up; heaping piles of soiled towels everywhere, service in general was very poor.
In Kaanapali, I remember liking them all about equal; no issues ay any.
But Four Seasons beats them all hands down. It's pricier, of course, but you are not nickled and dimed while you're there and you're treated like a celebrity.

We had dinner at the Hyatt and it was really nice.
We stayed at the Royal, which is in the same area. The tower rooms are really nice.
I just came back from our stay in a tower room. It was really nice! It's on a lovely beach. The resort nickel and dimes you, but that's a resort for you.
