We stayed at the Aloha Pualani for our second half of our honeymoon (first half was in Ko Olina, Oahu). Everything you read in the previous reviews is accurate. We stayed in the new White Ginger suite, and like a previous poster I was worried about staying somewhere site-unseen (there were no pictures of it on their website prior to our stay). The suite was absolutely beautiful. Full-featured kitchen, spacious "living room", nicely appointed bedroom and bathroom, and a really great lanai area overlooking the Pacific. I don't see how any of the other lanais could beat the viewpoint of the White Ginger Suite.

Being our second leg of a 12-day trip, we spent most of our time in Maui relaxing. We had done the snorkeling, parasailing, and other touristy stuff on Oahu. We did take advantage of Sherry's free equipment that is available, mostly the bodyboards. We tried going to a few spots along the coast with bigger surf, but never had much luck doing any real bodyboarding. I enjoyed just going to the ocean right in front of the hotel in the afternoon (extremely windy) and playing in the waves there.

The last night that we were there Sherry hosted a wine and cracker party by the pool, and most of the guests showed up and mingled. It was surprising for my wife and I, because we hadn't seen anybody else all week! Sherry was helpful and friendly throughout our stay. It's nice to stay somewhere that you can tell the owner cares, and Sherry seems to really care about her hotel and its customers.

Oh, and they have free wireless Internet and free parking. Worth over $30 / night in Oahu.

There's a reason this place is #1 in Maui. The price is extremely reasonable, our suite was beautiful, there are free "beach toys" to play with, and on and on. And there are no kids. So this is truly the perfect place for a honeymoon, anniversary, or otherwise romantic getaway.

P.S. PLEASE read the reviews about Hana before you make the trip. It is the most polarizing experience on Maui. Everybody will recommend it, but read the reviews and be honest with yourself about what you're looking for.

The Aloha Pualani is the perfect place for a quiet, not so touristy vacation. My husband and I honeymooned there and it was great. The kitchen was very well appointed and if I needed something that was not there, it was brought the next day. The outdoor grill is great, and the fridge outside has most if not all of the condiments that you need. We saved a bit of money by cooking everyday. Something that I usually do not enjoy, but it was fun at the Aloha. The saline pool is really perfect.

The island itself is really beautiful. You need to rent a car if you stay here, and I think that you should anyway. We had a convertible, and that is the best way to go. The road to Hana has some of the most beautiful cow pastures that I have ever seen. Just past the Maui Prince hotel is a beach called Big Beach, if you climb over the rock formation at one end, there is a beautiful beach called Little Beach (clothing optional:)

Everyone who works there is great, and their cats are very cute. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel!

We spent 6 nights at the hotel (in the Lotus suite) during our honeymoon. It's tremendous. The photos definitely do not do it justice, especially the pool and the kitchen.
We never had to share the pool while we were there due to the small size of the hotel. It's beautiful and very well maintained. The grill was somewhat slow to heat up, but it's a great feature. We grilled steaks and ate on our own lanai... turned out to be the best meal of the trip.
The entire suite was incredibly comfortable, relaxing and clean. I highly reccommend staying here, especially for a longer stay.

What great place!! I can not stress too much how much we enjoyed our stay here. We booked the White Ginger Suite for a week at the beginning of August. Since it was a new suite only available at end of July we were a little concerned whether it would be ready for us but we need not have worried. It was ready and it was fantastic. A fully fitted kitchen (with lovely view of the ocean), dining room and massive lounge (with an enormous TV) awaited us on the ground floor then up a spiral staircase to a comfortable bedroom with huge king bed (v. comfortable), bathroom and lovely lanai with great ocean views (especially at sunset). A lovely saltwater pool was just outside our lounge and hardly any of the other guests used it so it was like havinga prvate pool. In fact, we hardly saw any of the other guests and the place was really quiet and peaceful at night even though there are a lot of properties nearby. The beach was just over the road (approx 2 mins away) and beach towels, beach mats, snorkelling equipment, body boards etc were all provided. As if all this were not enough, Sherry (the owner) was full of great suggestions for places to eat and so helpful with anything we needed - we would like to thank her for helping to make our stay in Maui one we will always remember and we hope to return one day.
