 Need Maui Vacation Advice (restaurants)
Nice, but not romantic, is Halimali General Store up on the volcano. No
view, but great, interesting food. Five Palms restaurant, right there in
Kihei, is on the beach and serves a good meal with a great view. Other
restaurants in Wailea with great views, great food, and fairly expensive
meals (you might need to up that $40pp a bit) include Spagos at the Four
Season's, Nick's or Cafe Ciao at the Kea Lani, Humuhumu in the Grand
Wailea, The Sea Watch at the Emerald/Gold golf course clubhouse, and Tommy
Bahama's Cafe in the Wailea Shops. Good luck and good eating.
