Where: Maui || Grouped in: Maui Sports || Tagged:
Chicks who rip have a field day at this annual surf tourney on Maui. With a monster swell bearing down on the islands, the ladies will likely get huge surf on one of the most epic breaks in the world, at Honolulu Bay. Natch, Honolua is one of the best venues to watch rippers have at it - a natural amphitheater with clifftop seating and the greatest show Mother Nature can throw. Bring a folding chair and a picnic and don't miss this contest.

Best Honeymoon Hotels: Paia Inn Sez Stay 4, Pay 3 Nites
Where: Maui || Grouped in: Maui Romance, Maui Hotels
Love, love, love this hotel. Paia is the un-Maui vacation, with no big hotels, small town feel, vagabond windsurfers cruising through and oceans galore. Paia Inn is walkable to beaches, boutiques and great eats -- and is chic as can be. Private beach access is a misnomer because there are no private beaches in Hawaii and all are fairly accessible. But the location is solid and the vibe is totally North Shore. Go in the winter to see the big surf and don't bother plugging in your iPhone or your Blackberry. Inn currently offering rare discount (Paia hotel rooms are few and far between) of stay 4 nights, get third night free. Must do, must see, must go!

Hawaii Hotels: Amateur Video of Hyatt Regency Maui

Tour of the Presidential Suite at the Hyatt Regency Maui with a travel agent. Gives you a sense of the hotel and higher end suites. Visually gives you a good idea of what the hotel is all about. Wish she showed the beach and the pool but I can tell you they are pretty cool. My own take on the Hyatt - it's boxy but has a nice atrium, is on a killer beach, and has one of the best / only swim-up waterfall bars in the Hawaii. It's in Kaanapali which is good and bad -- lots of places to stay, but lots of people, too. Definitely get a car to avoid being trapped there. (Note: turn down the volume on this to avoid the sales patter).
