Hotel Hana Maui $295
This legendary hotel provides luxury at the end of the road in Hana.
Even without air conditioning (their ceiling fans and trade winds provide natural cooling), television (who needs?), and alarm clocks (why keep track of time?), Hotel Hana Maui has achieved AAA’s 4-diamond status. It’s currently rated the third best hotel in Hawaii by Travel and Leisure.
Normally out of most traveler’s price range, their $295 nightly special is a deal not to be missed.
Available now through December 23, 2009 on their Bay Cottage Junior Suite or the Ocean View Sea Ranch Cottage, this is a $200-$300 discount off their regular nightly rate. You’ll receive a host of amenities with your room plus a private outdoor hot tub in the Sea Ranch Cottage. There’s also a spa and fitness center which is complimentary for guest use plus complimentary parking. If you need to stay somewhat connected, there’s free Internet service in their Club Room.
We’re tempted to island hop over to Maui for this special.
Neither of us have stayed at Hotel Hana Maui before and think this may be the best time to go. If you’ve been a guest before or plan to take advantage of this deal, be sure to leave a comment.

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Hana Maui during our overnight trip to Hana last February. We had stopped there previously for lunch during a guided Road to Hana tour, had a chance to look around, and decided to give it a look the next time we were on Maui.
We had a Sea Ranch Cottage and were really blown away. We knew going in that there weren’t electronics or alarm clocks in the room ahead of time (which made getting up for the sunrise a little tricky), but were still in awe when we go there and experienced it for ourselves.
The resort itself has something like 72 acres or something, and is very beautiful. The staff is very helpful, and mostly local, and everything is so peaceful there. We’re planning to make more of an extended stay as part of our future plans to visit Maui again.
We stayed at the Hotel Hana in fall 2007 and it was absolutely beautiful. We were greeted with fresh made juice, a cold towel, and received a golf cart tour of the resort by a warm, welcoming host. Our room was huge and beautifully decorated. The resort is very serene, quite, and beautifully landscaped. During our dinner at the resort, two local Hawaiians played slack key guitar and sang heavenly. I will remember them forever. The resort is very adult-themed and relaxing. Hamoa Beach is nearby and also very enjoyable and beautiful (salt and pepper sand and fun waves). In my opinion, there are 2 downsides to staying at this hotel: dining options are limited as there aren’t any other restaurants in the area. The food at the hotel is delicious but we like to try different venues. And, the windy, scary drive on the road to Hana. We saw many awesome sites but it was a white-knuckle drive. I recommend this hotel for someone looking to get away from all of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and experience the authentic aloha culture.
