Iron Imu Bar-B-Que is all new on the West Side. This self-contained portable smoker was custom built in Texas and shipped to Maui by owners Rob & Kristin (808-298-4575). They set up at Noelani at 6 PM on Mondays, Kahana Falls at 5:30 PM on Tuesdays and The Mauian on Napili Bay at 5:30 PM on Wednesdays.

I had the Debris Sandwich (pot roast on a bun) for $11, but they also have pulled pork, chicken, babyback ribs and garlic butter tahitian prawns. Every meal comes with your choice of 3 of the most tasty sides you can imagine, including Grandpa Ford’s to-die-for mac & cheese. Follow this up with their homemade desert (could be Lilikoi Cheese Cake or Maui Gold Pineapple Shortcake), and you’ll happy & content without busting the travel budget.

PS: I didn’t get paid to write this. IT REALLY IS GREAT FOOD!

• If you have interest in booking any activities or making dinner reservations during your stay, I recommend contacting good friend Lisa Loomis at (808) 665-4386 or e-mail lisa.loomis@kapalua.com.

She is a pleasure to work with and has a unique ability to match your preferences with available opportunities at the best price. Whether it’s a helicopter over Molokai, a thrilling zip-line experience, whale-watch cruise or a peaceful dinner in a paradise setting, Lisa will offer you the best options available at the best prices.

Just wanted to share some unsolicited comments from our last guest in unit 109:

Because of the open side and front of this corner first floor property, lacking the divider in most other studios, #109 offers, with the binoculars provided, an amazing view of the whales and turtles directly in front and to the South of the Napili Bay Resort. Shaded by a lovely tree and light palm fronds, this lanai puts you on the beach while providing privacy. We stocked up at the Napili Plaza Shopping Center with excellent sushi take out, ribs and tacos, and seldom felt the need to roam. The condo has a brand new convection oven or we found friendly people willing to share the pristine propane grills and conversation when we tried the local fish from the fish market on Lower Honoapiilani Rd – where there is a farmer’s market as well. For a big night out there are Merrimans (Excellent!) or Sea House (Breakfast!) Restaurants. Parking always available in the private lot and far from the noisy daily garbage collection. For us, this was an ideal vacation: steps from the water, a swimable bay, whales breaching and blowing, turtles and people surfing, good fresh food…the thunderous sea. We loved it!

The whales are numerous and active right now, and I just experienced my best “whale watch” ever with Captain Steve and his zodiac out of Mala Wharf in Lahaina.  The whales were under the boat and greeting us by slapping their 2 ton pectoral fins at us as if trying to shake hands.  You don’t soon forget an experience like this.  Steve is very knowledgeable, helpful and not “full of himself” like some of the other boat captains I’ve experienced.

I booked with Lisa Loomis at Maui Concierge Service located in the Activity Center at nearby Kapalua.  You can phone Lisa directly at (808) 665-8213 or contact lisa.loomis@kapalua.com.  Lisa doesn’t just sell any activity, she experiences them first hand before deciding whether to recommend them.  Whether it’s a whale watch, helicopter ride, zip line, luau or experiencing some of the free hiking trails that are offered in the West Maui Mountains; Lisa has the information for you.
