Go to the Westin in Kaanapali. There are actually two Westins, the Resort & Spa, and the Villas. Both great but I like the Resort. In fact, it is my literal favorite place on the planet. Everything you need. Whalers Village is next door. They have a shuttle every 15 mins takes you to Lahaina. Three pools, one for adults, right on the beach. Spend an evening out on a catamaran and snorkel/drinks/apps.
When I went, I stayed in Lahaina at the Lahaina Inn. 3 star inn in the center of town I was there solo for a wedding on the other side of the island but wanted to stay by the bars and nightlife well, because I was there solo. For that purpose it was good, but Kaanpali is probably more what your looking for.
Crazy times in the ABM household. Mrs ABM now wants to scrap Maui for Puerto Vallarta. Good thing SW Airlines lets you make changes for free! Apparently, this is the place she's targeted. https://www.vidanta.com/web/nuevo-vallarta/the-grand-mayan http://grandmayan.net/nuevo-vallarta/
PV was my least favorite Mexican city I’ve been to. The ocean in that part of Mexico looks worse than the Willamette River. Take the boo thang to isla mujures. You’ll thank me later. She may even let you motorboat
100%. We stayed at Playa Mujeres and took a Catamaran to Isla Mujeres for a day. Best place I have ever been to.
Riu's are great! If I was going to PV I would stay here. https://www.riu.com/en/hotel/mexico/vallarta-riviera-nayarit/hotel-riu-palace-pacifico/index.jsp
Lahaina was definitely worse! Anyone ever drive the road FROM Hana? After you leave, you keep going. CRAZY drive.
Touristas are only great if they come with cigarette butts, broken beer bottles and empty candy bar wrappers.
Appears she's dead set on Nuevo Vallarta. (Mayan Palace) That said, she's now planning Jamaica in late September. Oh, the misery of it all!!
Wish I could do that but: 1. My dialysis makes that virtually impossible; 2. Where in the hell do you get all that money? Huh? Where? Why? Because I want some of that lettuce, that's why.
Yeah, she got all sentimental on me. We had planned to go to Puerto Vallarta on our honeymoon, but when we got to the airport, what I "thought" was a passport actually wasn't. It's one of those types you can use for cruises, etc. Looks like a drivers license. Anyway, we ended up going to St. Thomas Virgin Islands. Wonderful honeymoon, BTW! Oh, and, yes, I do have a "legit" passport now. We went to Jerusalem a few years ago. OK, so.....now she wants to go back to PV, where we intended to go originally.
