6 Maui hotel deals for summer and fall travel

On Hawaii’s Valley Isle, deals are so numerous you’ll have trouble limiting the number of places you’ll stay. Following are some of the more tempting hotel offers that have danced onto my desk of late.

Kaanapali Beach Hotel: At this Lahaina property, you can get a room these days for $159 per night (all rates pretax), representing a savings of 25% off regular rates. These will turn up under “Aloha value” when booking online.

Or, now through Dec. 22, treat yourself to the “Beauty and the Beach” package: For a total of $440 per person (based on double occupancy), you get the following: partial-ocean-view room for three nights; buffet breakfast daily; a $50 dinner credit at Gerard’s restaurant; a compact rental car; a choice of a 25-minute massage or a 25-minute facial for each person; a cabana or two chaise lounges for two days; and a 10% salon discount on any service or product.

Grand Wailea: The recently renovated, 780-room Grand Wailea, in Wailea, is offering a “Summer Escape” special for those looking for a seven-night stay. This includes your seventh night free; 20% off spa treatments; 20% off of a full day at the children’s Camp Grande; golf for $99 per round, per person at Makena Golf Course; and a gift certificate for a free night during a future stay here or at another participating Waldorf Astoria Collection hotel.

Unfortunately you don’t have long to use your free-stay certificate, as it expires Dec. 20, 2009. The spa treatment and children’s camp discounts can be applied up to four times during your stay.

Hotel Wailea: Stay four nights or more here, for rates starting at $199 per night, and receive $150 in food credit, which you can spend at the onsite Capishe or at any restaurant at Grand Wailea. This offer is good now through Dec. 10.

Aston Maui Lu: At this budget Kihei hotel (with decidedly mixed TripAdvisor reviews), you can get a “Summer Special” room for as low as $80 per night. No minimum stay is required.

Haiku Plantation Inn: For something smaller-scale and likely more charming, this B&B in the pineapple-production town of Haiku is offering promotional rates starting at $99 per night for select rooms midweek. Book by June 30; call to check availability [(808) 575-7500].
