1: Great guidebook
This guidebook was the best investment a traveler could make. I saved so much money and found the best accommodations from a company advertised in this book. I can't recommend it enough.
|
2: First time Maui visitor loves this book
My wife and I went to Maui recently and used this book as a base guide to events and beaches. Found excellent snorkeling that we could walk to from our hotel, great inexpensive restaurants in Lahaina and good tips on waterfalls and other scenic sites to visit. My trip would not have been half as good without it.
|
3: Not easy to use
I bought this book to help me get around Maui, and was disappointed in the writing of the book. I found it difficult to read and extrapilate data from. I borrowed another Maui guide from a friend which was much easier to use, I just can't remember who wrote it right now.
I found the free brochures available at the airport and hotels easier to use and more comprehensive.

4: Book Helpful - Map almost USELESS!
I found most of the info helpful, but felt the section on luaus should have at least suggested two others, instead of just the Old Lahaina Luau, which I feel has become too much of a production, instead of a beautiful feast to share! I have been to Maui 6 times, and everytime have found several new & surprising sights, sounds, meals, & wonderful, helpful people. The map should have more detailed street info, especially around Kihei & Lahaina. Might help prevent accidents. I found the Paradise Family Guide on Maui & Lanai by Dona Early & Christie Stilson much more informative and realistic, especially re: to $$ and cents!

5: AVOID - dishonest ratings and cheap content
Frommer's Maui rates the tired, moldy, tacky Noelani this way: "Everything is first class, from the furnishings to the oceanfront location." Nothing could be further from the truth, and we booked in there for a week based on this blatantly dishonest description!
The fold out map is useless, lacking any detail whatsoever, a real con job.
"Maui Revealed" completely blows Frommer into the weeds, but what's most annoying is that trusting Frommer could ruin your vacation! Makes you wonder if Frommer is on the take?
