Frommer's Maui

This guidebook was the best investment a traveler could make. I saved so much money and found the best accommodations from a company advertised in this book. I can't recommend it enough.

My wife and I went to Maui recently and used this book as a base guide to events and beaches. Found excellent snorkeling that we could walk to from our hotel, great inexpensive restaurants in Lahaina and good tips on waterfalls and other scenic sites to visit. My trip would not have been half as good without it.

This book has all the information you might need, but no color photo's and lacks the personality of Maui Revealed. IT isnt bad, but the other book is just better.

After reading some of the other reviews for the Frommer's Portable Maui guidebook, it seems as if several reviewers have written off the book because it has an error on a map.I've never used the maps (in fact, I didn't know that the book even had driving maps), but the rest of the book has been wonderful. We've been to Maui twice in the last two years, and each time we've used the guidebook to find wonderful things to do and places to see on the Valley Isle.From restaurants and sightseeing to golf courses and hotels, all of the descriptions have been insightful, informative, and most importantly, useful. It's funny to go to an out of the way place and notice that all of the tourists are all carting around the same book.If you want to avoid the tourist traps and discover what Maui is really all about, this book will give you a great start on finding fun in paradise.

Lots of resturant reviews. Good information about beaches and where to stay. Very "real."
