Questions about the trip
Why Maui?
I started visiting Maui at the age of four and I consider it my home away from home. Rachelle and I were married at Secret Cove near Makena.
Porque Sugar Beach Resort?
Sugar Beach is centrally located. You are 25 minutes from Lahaina and 20 minutes from Big Beach. The resort also sits on a three mile stretch of priceless golden sand. On our last trip I snorkeled in front of the beach and swam with a few turtles. Sugar Beach is a bit windy, but that's about the only downside. It has a pool, hot tub, bar, restaraunt, tennis courts, convenience store, and a great barbeque pit with 6 grills. The BBQ is the hub and social pipeline.
Can we bring the whole family?
Yes! Please do! Tell your mom, sister, cousin, or whomever. And don't forget your kids! They'll love it.
Will there be daily events or plans?
That depends on what you are looking for. If you have never been to Maui I highly recommend doing the snorkeling trips, sunrise at Haleakala, shopping in Lahaina, and taking your time on the road to Hana etc. If you are into a simultaneously relaxing and active vacation like myself then plan on taking it one day at a time.
A typical day for me on our last trip: wake up early, jog the beach, do some snorkeling with large turtles at Turtle Town, arrive at the (name of) beach no later than noon, play and lay, hit the pool by 3:00 and have beer in hand at the BBQ no later than six. Repeat as needed.
What do we need to bring?
This also depends on your vacation plans. If you surf, skim, or boogie, then bring your boards. Otherwise bring whatever makes you happy. Maui is pretty casual in general. So we have that going for us. Which is nice.
How expensive will the vacation be?
Well, first of all, use frequent flier miles if you can. Otherwise you should be able to get a round trip ticket for somewhere between $450 and $700 depending on the airline. My non-stop ticket this summer cost on Hawaiian cost me $470.
The rooms at Sugar Beach are about $180 a night during Peak Season. However, the room sleeps four easily with the fold-out couch. If you share a room with someone it can be very affordable. There are also two bedroom rooms which can sleep 6-8 easily and are perfect for small gatherings in the evening. All rooms have some view of the ocean.
At Kihei Rent-A-Car you can save about $100 a week on car rental if you don't mind a 2000 Nissan.
Hopefully a few of you will find air/hotel/car specials through a travel agent. We will also investigate and let you know what we find. The really important thing is to reserve rooms as early as possible before they sell out. Also, if you see any airfares for $500 or below I would jump all over it ASAP.
