Where to stay in Maui, Hawaii?
We decided to base ourselves in Lahaina near bustling Front Street and absolutely loved the area. It has lots of restaurants and shops with the view of the ocean everywhere you go as well as being a short drive to tons of beaches!
There are no short of stays to choose from in Maui but we could not talk about The Plantation Inn enough! It was wonderful in every way from the gorgeous decor, the delicious breakfast, the warm people, to the location- a short walk to Front street.
Day 1 in Maui, Hawaii
