We love staying at Nohonani Condos And Resort on Maui (Unit 204 is our favorite).  Its a great little resort and boasts one of the only beaches among the resorts in Kahana/Kaanapali.

Our last trip to Maui was dotted with medical experiences. My wife had some tooth problems, I got an ear infection, and my son scraped off some skin in a surfing/coral-dragging incident.

Upon the first of us falling ill we did a quick search and found Doctors On Call in Lahaina. They’re quick and pretty simple and you can almost always get in to see a doctor that day.

Be prepared

When staying with Aloha Condos on Maui make sure to take a day trip down to Big Beach. It’s a long stretch of beach down on the Southwest part of the island. Bring some beach chairs and sunscreen cause it’s hot down there. There is usually a snack truck there with cool drinks to keep yourself from parching.

It’s about an hour drive from our Lahaina, Kahana, Kaanapali, and Napili resorts: Maui Kai, Kaleialoha, Lahaina Roads, Nohonani, Napili Bay, and the Whaler.

We spent two weeks in Kaanapali this past spring and got to see an amazing school of dolphins swim past our resort. They did flips and spins, it was really quite a show. You could have seen it from any of our Resorts in Lahaina, Kaanapail, or maybe even Napili. We were staying at Nohonani Condos and Resort.

How is this for an answer? Nohonani unit 204 is very inexpensive, fabulous location, really pretty interior and great snorkeling right out in front of the condo!

Rent some gear and snorkel to your heart’s content. Also, here is another tip about snorkeling. Head over to Black Rock, only about 10 minutes away. Snorkeling and scuba diving are especially good in this area as Black Rock forms a great reef wall. In addition, it is quite close by as it is located at the end of Kaanapali Beach!

Here is a great suggestion. Check out Nohonani Condos and Resort, unit 204 which is technically located in an area called Honokawai. Where is this? It is located about 7 minutes South of Kapalua and about ten minutes North of Kaanapali. This condo is truly a hidden gem. When you see the location, you will hardly believe your eyes. Sit on your lanai and what you see is water, as clear as the finest of crystal and a big beautiful beach with white powdery sand. In addition, for those of you who love golf, there are two excellent courses 7 minutes North of the condo in Kapalua. Try the Kapalua Bay course. Zagat guide says” that many call this the friendliest course on the North end of Maui, with great new greens installed just in time for 2008’s inaugural Kapalua LPGA Classic.” You will find wonderful service and that it is enjoyable to players of all skill levels.

The other amazing course is The Kapalua Plantation course which according to the Zagat Guide is “As beautiful and breathtaking as they come and the top rated course in Hawaii. You may have seen it on tv during the PGA’s Mercedes-Benz Championship.”

If your spouse is not a golf lover, there is a wonderful spa at The Ritz Carlton that anyone would find extremely enjoyable. I personally have visited several times and have really enjoyed the massages they offer.

After this fabulous day, you will merely have a 7 minute drive back to the condo (Nohonani 204) and can sit on the lanai overlooking the turquoise water and mellow out sipping a nice cool glass of lemonade or a great bottle of wine. You truly can’t find a better located or more attractive condo.As you fall off to dreamland, you will hear the sound of the gentle waves lulling you to sleep. That is what I call Nirvana!!
