Pros: Very thorough and frank reviews of everything on Maui.

My husband and I are in the process of planning a trip to Maui in the spring and this book has proved to be invaluable! It helped us figure out what area to stay at on the island as well as what condo to book. The online section of the book gives reviews of every single condo and hotel on the island. The maps are wonderful and there are reviews of practically anything you would want to do on the island. I know we will be taking this book with us and referencing it often. This book came highly recommended from a friend who has been to Hawaii 9 different times on vacation and he still uses these books. This book is a must have for anyone going to Maui.
