I am Jon and I love Maui. Writing about Maui has been my hobby for the past 30 years. This website is my effort to help you, whether a first-timer or repeat visitor, to have the best possible experience during your visit to Maui. The info here is based on my own research and experiences. I am not a travel agent and I don't sell anything, so my reports are unbiased. I have visited each of the hotels, condos, and sights, have eaten at all of the reviewed restaurants, and took almost all of the photos.
