I live on Maui, and those are all good tips. It really all comes down to budget. Kapalua is great, the villas are a good deal, not the highest level accomodation but very good value, particularly with associated discount golf. Kapalua has 2 courses, and it is rumored the Bay course may close some greens for repair some time soon.The Ritz at Kapalua is closing in July for 6 months, that is the A+ accomodation. I personally would rather stay in Wailea, again budget related, or Kaanapali. The 4 seasons is spectacular but pricy, that is the number 1 place. Grand Wailea had my honeymoon, expensive too. I like the Hyatt in Kaanapali a lot for price and beauty. Probably my favorite. The only negative is the discounted golf would only apply to the 2 Kaanapali courses, which I would rate B. Depending on how much golf, I would play 1 round only at Kapalua unless staying there, and try any of 5 other great courses. Makena South, Wailea Emerald, Dunes at Maui Lani. The boat to Lanai is a must for avid golfers, about $300 total with golf. For honeymoon, I would consider splurging and staying at Manele Bay Hotel on Lanai, it's truly a once in a lifetime great place, now a 4 seasons also. Kauai is spectacular also for beauty, golf and honeymoon, and Hyatt Poipu would be my next choice. The Big Island is fantastic also. So many choices, take time planning. If one week, I would only go to 1 island, if 10 days then 2 islands. Also, golf is very expensive at the high end courses without a Hawaiian Driver License, and only real deals are at the few places where get guest rates by staying there.
