Aloha from Maui–
Below is a list of my favorite restaurants near the Whaler, and Nohonano Resorts in Maui. Please feel free to post your comments on any of these places, I have eaten at them all and these are my favorites. By no means an exhaustive list, please list your favorites in the comments.
Mahalo,
Susan.
