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.…

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…

Quickest way I've ever seen to get a feel for driving the Road to Hana. Everyone has to do it once, eh?…

The Lodge has definitely enjoyed a Rennaissance under Four Seasons management. Service is better. I don't know about the food, have heard mixed reports. But this photo montage taken only a couple of months about by Celebrate Travel, gives…

A very cool amateur video tour of a typical room at one of my fave Hawaii hotels, the Hotel Hana Maui. This place is totally unplugged - no TV, no Internet in the rooms. Outdoor lava showers are amazing.…

LOL. ROTFL. This is your view on a typical afternoon at lunch at Mama's Fish House on Maui. The lunch will set you back a bit. But what's the view worth to you at this point? I thought so.…

It's hard to get a bad view in Wailea and, set right on Polo Beach, the Kea Lani has as nice a view as any place else. What's to like about this resort? Rooms are suites so its better…

Love this tour. Hope this lady gets very lucky on her honeymoon. This gives you a great idea of what the renovated rooms look like. Also love this hotel -- probably a top honeymoon choice for those who want…

Hulopoe Beach on Lanai is one of the best places in the islands to swim with spinner dolphins. It's also got a fun surf break, excellent snorkeling, and you can camp there if you don't feel like paying Four…

Aloha again from the Valley Isle. This trip, as by now you realized, is underwritten by Steve Balmer and the folks at Microsoft. Thanks! So, an easy walk from the center of Lahaina town, the whaling village turned charming…

This post is brought to you by Microsoft, which generously sponsored my trip to Maui (indirectly, of course). When you see the Mobile Post icon, you know I'm posting somewhere in Hawaii. Look closely. Here's a picture of Wailea…

One of my favorite Maui memories involved a supreme chocolate desert and a snifter of port at the old Bay Club in Kapalua, Maui. The restaurant is perhaps the most romantic setting in all of the islands, with an open-air…

Last fall Four Seasons Resorts took over management of the two big resort hotels on Lanai, the Lodge at Koele and Manele Bay Hotel. Both had gotten, shall we say, a little tatty around the edges. The owner agreed to…

Our second installment of this (soon to be) never-ending Q&A on Hawaii honeymoons. As we've said before, help us help you save your honeymoon. We have a question from Grace, who resides in coastal Maine with her husband who…

This small inn has won mega kudos from the big travel pubs (T&L, Conde Nast Traveler, etc) and for good reason. The property is utterly gorgeous, an historic house that was formerly a cliffside plantation. The gardens have copious…

I'm introducing a new feature that will be a regular fixture on Hawaiirama. John Clark, the noted Hawaii beach expert and all around beach nut, will be feeding us his extremely informed take on best beaches around the Aloha…

Why we love it: No hotels in sight, long enough for a really long stroll or to find some solitude, gorgeous views of Kaho'olawe and Lanai across the channel, generally good for swimming. The only downsides are the surf…

Cupid roams free on Maui. Almost everyone I talk to who has spent time on Maui has a story of a magical night under the stars sipping a glass of amazing vino, noshing on the most sensuous edibles, with…
