Deal at the Maui Prince Hotel

What a deal! The Maui Prince Hotel is not your typical all-inclusive resort, since it's best for adults. But couples can scoop up a great package deal there right now.

The Maui Prince Hotel is one of my favorite resorts in Maui. It's in Makena, far from the bustling touristy areas of Kehei and Lahaina, but a short drive to the ultra-upscale luxury resort area of Wailea.

The Maui Prince Hotel is a quiet, zen-like retreat, perfect for romantic couples who don't want a lot of kids running around during their vacation. While there are some children here, the Maui Prince really appeals more to people traveling without kids. It's also adjacent to La Perouse Bay, a protected bay in the Ahihi Kina'u Natural Reserve. Giant sea turtles come here to laze around in the sun, completely unafraid of, or unimpressed by, the human interlopers pointing and staring. It's an incredible experience.

Two of Maui's best golf courses are next to the Maui Prince Hotel as well; Makena North and Makena South. The Makena North golf course is more challenging due to elevation changes (although some say it's the distracting ocean views that make it harder). The Makena South golf course is archeologically interesting: The course incorporates several ancient Hawaiian walls into its design.

If this sounds like your kind of Maui vacation, then I have a great package deal for you. For the rest of the year, all the way up to (but excluding) Christmas vacation 2007, the Maui Prince Hotel can be had at a reduced rate of $466 per night. This is quite a deal, since luxury resorts in Maui typically go for more than this. And, the deal includes one heck of a package: One of the best view rooms in the hotel, car rental, breakfast for two every day of your stay, dinner for two one night, and, upon your arrival, a basket of chocolate-dipped strawberries. Don't worry, the strawberries don't replace the lei! What kind of deal would that be?
