Maui condo vacations are like being home on the island with a cleaning lady. But don't underestimate the power of room service from a beachfront hotel.
Comparing Maui condo vacations verses Maui hotel accomodations is not an easy task. Here you'll find our laundry list of similarities and differences as well as pro's and con's of condo vacation verses hotel accomodations in west Maui.
West Maui Condo Rentals - The Whaler
There is a wide selection of West Maui condo rentals to choose from. We enjoyed our stay at
The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach
both in 1997 and in 2003. When you have a view like this of the Pacific Ocean, it's easy to want to make permanent roots here fast. In this picture the two grey-white buildings you see are The Whaler North and The Whaler South.
West Maui Hotel Accommodations - The Marriott
During our 2000 Maui trip we stayed at
Marriott's Maui Ocean Club.
which had just completed a $70 million renovation. It's really a beautiful place, and when you're not on the beach, you can enjoy their 3.5 acre superpool with waterslides, spas, and a kid's shipwreck play area.
They began a second $70 million renovation that will go from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2009 -- but not to worry - they've made sure that no site activities or amenities will be interrupted during that time.
Maui condo vacations are also available at the Marriott.
