Maui Hill is a beautiful property in the Kihei area of Maui. As you can derive from the name, it sits on a hill overlooking the ocean. While it is not on the beach, it is just a short walk to Kamaole Beach.

Quote from a recent honeymoon couple:

Aston Maui Hill was perfect! We really enjoyed staying in Kihei also! We had a wonderful time in Maui. We can’t wait to go back! Thanks again for all your help!
-Sara and Patrick

Most units give you a view of the ocean, some more than others. The gardens are beautiful, so whether you book an ocean view or garden view room, your lanai will afford you a lovely view. We thoroughly enjoyed this feature for our breakfast! Fresh pineapple and papaya, with Kona Coffee on the lanai in Maui, what could be better!

Maui Hill has 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units. It is one of the few properties on Maui that do have 3 bedrooms, and allow 8 people in a unit. Each of the units is privately owned so actual furnishings vary from room to room. All units have 2 bathrooms (except the 3 bedroom which has 3 bathrooms), 2 televisions, private lanais, kitchens, AND a washer and dryer (a big plus with children!!). They also have free high speed internet access, if you need to keep in touch.

Because Aston Maui Hill has multi-bedroom units at an affordable price it is the perfect family reunion venue, or accommodations for a bridal party.

Kitchens are fully equipped with a refrigerator, range, micro-wave, and dishwasher. Small appliances such as toasters, coffee makers and blenders are also included. All kitchens are fully stocked with pots and pans, dishes and flatware, coffee mugs and drinking glasses. You just supply the food!!

Each bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, and the living room has a sleeper sofa. The 3rd bedroom in the 3 bedroom unit is a loft with an attached bath.

The property itself, offers a swimming pool, jet spa, a putting green, shuffleboard, tennis court, barbecue area and an internet workstation in the lobby. And the property is entirely smoke-free with smoking allowed in designated areas only.

While, Maui Hill does not have a restaurant, there are many within a short drive, as well as several grocery stores.

On the Magical date of August 29^th, Oahu, Hawaii officially welcomed Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa.  Aulani does not mean magical Hawaiian Vacation, but it should.  This brand new, luxury hotel, on the west side of the Oahu, is just that: Magical!!

Amazingly, the Disney Imagineers, have created the Aulani to fully represent the local Hawaiian craftsman, by incorporating many of the Hawaiian fabrics, beautiful flowers, and native Hawaiian woods, with the quality and fantasy that is Disney.  Your children will be searching for Mickey in the pineapple-patterned Hawaiian quilts. Or turning on the living room lamp to see a silhouette of Minnie Mouse hanging ten on her surfboard!  Or find Mickey hiding in the patterned wall coverings.

Disney has tried to celebrate the Hawaiian Culture in every way:  the foods are grown by local farmers, the fish caught fresh daily, and the thousands of fish you see while snorkeling in Rainbow Reef, are native to Hawaii.  Hawaiian dancers entertain on special nights, and of course, no Hawaiian visit would be complete without hearing a few Hawaiian legends.  No one can “Talk Story” like the local Hawaiian storytellers!

When we think of Disney, we think of children, of course.  And Aulani is no exception.  The kids will have a great time visiting Aunty’s Beach House where they can experiment making special goo that really food for the Manta Rays!  (Which they will be able to fee at the Resort’s Conservation pool) Or blast self-made volcanoes on the beach!  Can’t do that at Disneyland!!  But some of the Disney characters on vacation too, so you never know who might show up!!

Teens are going to be thrilled with the idea of their own spa, Painted Sky, and the teens-only parties!  Even guided excursions and surfing lessons are available just for your teens.

What are the adults going to do while the kids are off having all this fun?  So many ideas!  How about customized spa treatments at the Laniwai Spa? Or maybe a romantic dip in the sunset whirlpools?  Of course, guided excursions are available to some pretty amazing places, too!  Golf?  Of course!  It’s only a few steps away.

Have you thought about a honeymoon in Hawaii?  The Aulani has beautiful accommodations, lots of activities, romantic sunsets, and good food!  I always say that a happy marriage is about having fun together!  What could be more fun that Disney!!  And Hawaii!  At the same time!

Aulani is the perfect combination of Hawaiian Culture, Disney fun, water fun and beautiful sunsets!  Please contact Sandi to book the newest Disney destination: Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa.

The St. Regis Princeville Resort, on the North Shore of Kauai, right on Hanalei Bay, is the ultimate in luxury.  The St. Regis is home to 2 world class golf courses, Halele’a Spa, a huge infinity pool surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens, and 5 sumptuous restaurants.

The St. Regis is an average size hotel, but that’s where average ends!  The rooms and suites are magnificently furnished and feature several amenities that are not available at most hotels:  large widows with plantation shutters, and luxurious, out of this world, marble bathrooms with huge soaking tubs.  The most unique feature is a transparent glass reveal.  This allows windows beside the tub to be controlled to display a beautiful oceanview, or opaque if you prefer privacy.  You decide!!

The pool, with its natural lava rock and water features, reflects Hawaii’s tropical outdoor lifestyle.

Private, luxurious, poolside cabanas are available to rent for full and half days.  Prefer the ocean to the pool?  No problem, the beach is perfect for snorkeling and kayaking or just sunbathing and enjoying the breathtaking views!

To make your stay even more memorable, take advantage of St. Regis Signature Romantic Candlelit Dinner.  You will enjoy a private, elegant customized dinner for two.  You will meet with the chef to discuss your food preferences and any dietary restrictions to ensure the perfect 4 course meal for the 2 of you!  Private entertainment can also be arranged!  Talk about romantic elegance!

In addition to the private dining option, St. Regis also has 5 restaurants to satisfy everyone’s dining expectations.  There’s even a Dinner Show Buffet with great Hawaiian cuisine, hula dancing, and storytelling.  I know that guests from the Seattle area want to know: is there Espresso!! Yes, there is!  The Napali Café has a full complement of espresso, lattes and cappuccinos, as well as salads, sandwiches, and baked goods.

If the St. Regis Princeville Resort sounds like your perfect romantic getaway, please email or call 425 821 4100.

I look forward to helping you plan a visit to the St. Regis Princeville Resort for luxury at its best!
