Frommer's Maui 2002

by Jeanette Foster, Jocelyn K. Fujii

You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us! Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Maui features gorgeous full-color photos of the pristine beaches, colorful undersea life, and lush rain forest vistas that await you. Personally researched by local experts, and written in an honest, personal voice, Frommer's Maui is the premier guide to this fascinating island. It's all here, from thrilling whale watching to the spectacular sunrise at Haleakala National Park, from a mile-by-mile drive along the Road to Hana to mule rides on neighboring Molokai. No other guide comes close to matching our coverage of the island's beaches, golf courses, and adventure outings, with personal recommendations on the best outfitters, dive sites, and snorkeling spots. Our candid and in-depth hotel reviews, all based on recent personal inspections, will help you find the perfect place to a lavish high-rise resort, a family-friendly condo complex, or an intimate B&B on its own private cove. And our restaurant reviews, all personally written by one of Hawaii's leading dining critics, are simply second to none. Whether you're looking for romance or family fun in the sun, Frommer's Maui is the only guide you'll need. You'll even get a free color fold-out map and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap!

This thorough guide to Maui is very informational and is a great resource. It includes tips about restaurants and events among other things that I could not have found on the Internet. I have read it once through but will continue to re-read it, highlighting and underlining as I go, until my plane lands at my destination. And then I will use it in Maui! Yes, it is that helpful.

If are blessed with being able to take a trip to Maui in the near future, I highly recommend this to you. This book probably includes everything you need to become an expert on Maui before you actually get there. So read it before your trip and soak in all of the information, so that when you get there it will come to you easily!

Although I could have got by with just my Waze app, Trip Advisor and a few others-- it was still comforting to have my printed Frommers along for the ride. I referenced it a number of times to verify a few things and at one point needed to use the included map when Waze failed me.

Very helpful, used before and during my trip to Maui.

Seemed really helpful and informative but the real test will be when I'm in Maui if it is a good guide.
