South Kihei - Hale Pau Hana Resort

We are looking into staying at the Hale Pau Hana Resort in early June. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is much to do in that area? Such as restaurants, shopping, tours... And what about visiting the nice resorts in Walilea, is this allowed even for non-guests of the resort? Is most of this in walking distance? Sorry for all the questions, this is our first time to Maui and we don%26#39;t want to stay in too much of a secluded area.

I sure am seeing alot of questions about Hale Pau Hana lately! We love it there. We are returning for our third stay there this May. We have stayed in Kaanapali, Wailea and North Kihei. We like them all.

Hale Pau Hana is located in South Kihei where there is plenty of shopping and restaurants that tend to be a less expensive than Wailea. Wailea is right down the road and yes you can eat at the restauarants there, use the beaches and walk the beach path. It%26#39;s a bit of a walk from Hale Pau Hana but you could do it if you wanted.

Hale Pau Hana is located on a fabulous beach. We find we spend more time hanging out in Kihei every visit and spend much less time in Wailea or Lahaina.

I scour this forum every day searching for where to stay on our next trip (I really spend way too much time here considering I don%26#39;t even know if we can swing a trip this year) and every day I find something else I like.

Today it%26#39;s the Hale Pau Hana! It looks really nice and pretty reasonably priced. If I was making reservations today, this would be a top contender.

we were staying in Wailea which we loved at Ekahi Village and once at Elua Village but you can%26#39;t get as close to the beach there and the pprices are just so high. This was a good alternative for us. We love being on a great swimming beach and I like being able to view my unit first.

We also really like Sugar Beach Resort in North Kihei but I haven%26#39;t stumbled upon a unit that I love yet. But it%26#39;s a lot less expenive and a little quieter which we really like. Their pool area is bigger and nicer than Hale Pau Hana%26#39;s also. We are doing Hale Pau Hana again because we are traveling with friends who will be next door at The Royal Mauian.

All beaches in Hawaii are public, so you can go to any beach no matter where you%26#39;re staying. You cannot use a resort%26#39;s facilities, however, unlesss you%26#39;re a registered guest.

But you can walk around the resorts and eat at the restaurants without being a guest, right?

absolutely, all beaches are public. When I said you couldn%26#39;t get close to the beach I emant you can%26#39;t get a condo at the waters edge like you can at Hale Pau Hana.

And what about any restaurant suggestions for dinner in that area?

There are a lot restaurants, Cafe O Lei across the street is great, We love Da%26#39;Kitchen for cheap local food. It%26#39;s right across the street, you can head down to Kalama Village for inexpensive restaurants or head to Wailea for fine dining. Either way you go there are many many restaurants within minutes...
