Lots of info but some of it is already out of date. The Bed & breakfast laws have changed in maui so that info is useless and some of the private property issues are more of a hassle than mentioned in the book. Some of the places mentioned are no longer open to the public.
BewertungenMap the restaurantDatum 2008-06-14 Rang: 8 von 10Excellent book. Enjoyed the humor as much as the useful tips and information. However, one critique I would have, is that it would've been alot easier to locate the eateries recommended in the book. A number, or a symbol right there on the map would have made it much simplier to pinpoint a restaurants location, other than just the address and phone numbers.
DavidGuidebook that is a must for MauiDatum 2008-06-14 Rang: 10 von 10I bought this based on reviews from friends for my upcoming honeymoon in Maui. It is informative and the author has a great sense of humor.Everything you could possibly want to know!Datum 2008-06-09 Rang: 10 von 10We just got back from celebrating our 5th anniversay with a week in Maui yesterday and this book was an indespensible resource that never left our side. Each day we were there, we explored a new part of the island or went on a new tour or trip and this book helped us through every part. If you are like us and like to pack every day of your vacation with new and fun things, then you should buy this book right now. But even if you prefer to just relax and visit a few places and restaurants, this book has reviews that will help you choose.
The author is a native, and is cynical and has a *very* dry sense of humor. However, for someone who is making recommendations, this is really a good quality. I personally don't want someone who is willing to give everyone and everything 5 stars. I prefer and appreciate someone who will tell me the negatives of each choice so that I can evaluate those and make a decision instead of just hearing the bubbly positives of every option.
We got to our hotel on Sunday night (we stayed at the Mahana in Ka'anapali and would recommend it for anyone, btw). We were on the island for a week and loved it.
*Monday: We went around NW Maui and used this book for sightseeing. Excellent!
*Tuesday: We learned to surf and went to a Luau. Both places were reviewed in this book.
*Wednesday: We took the road to Hana. This is where this book really shined. He identifies every sight to see along the way using mile markers and tells you right where to turn off to not miss a thing.
*Thursday: We went on a boat trip to Molikini based upon the review in here and loved it!
*Friday: We went up Haleakala and traveled around the Upcountry visiting the spots he recommended. Beautiful sights and great food!
*Saturday: Surfing and snorkeling again.
We saw several people with printouts of stuff from the internet that they were using to navigate, and we saw some people that actually hired locals to tell them where to go. I can honestly say that this was the best $15 we spent on the whole trip because it provided us the freedom and convenience that those other options couldnt provide. We loved our trip and will continue to buy books from the "Revealed" series when we visit other islands or other locations on vacation. Thanks Andrew!!maui revealedDatum 2008-05-27 Rang: 8 von 10Newest edition looks exactly like the older ones with identical pictures and captions. Some relevant new information makes the book worth buying.
