It rained more again here in Lahaina today, so it looks like a pretty Maui beach is not in our future.
We decided to do laundry today and discovered we had been misled about there being laundry machines available to use. After we complained, they upgraded us to a 2-bedroom unit for our last night. This unit is sweeeeet and furnished so nicely we could live here, to say nothing of the surrounds. Definitely a place to return with a larger group! I thought three televisions was overkill, but I guess you need something to do on the rainy days.
It cleared up a bit in the evening so we drove up the coast to check out the Westin hotel in Ka'anapali, and the Ritz in Kapalua, both supposedly nice places to stay. The Westin looked great, with lots of nice pools and places to eat or grab a drink. We had a cocktail and a snack there, and watched humpback whales frolicking close to shore.
The Ritz was very classy, but just didn't seem as fun a place to stay. We watched the sunset from the lounge. They make an incredible Lava Flow, a must-have if you visit. Most other places seem to do it with ice cream - so unnecessary, this one was perfect. We ate dinner at the nearby Pineapple Grill, stuffing ourselves on yet more delicious food. So far, Maui wins the award for most gourmet island.
