3.0 out of 5 stars Lack of solid information makes this a disappointment, April 16, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Maui (Paperback)
If you are looking for a guidebook to Maui that has substantial information regarding restaurants and the hidden treasures of Maui, look elsewhere! One of the major activities on Maui is a snorkel trip to Molokini, an underground volcanic crater. This book had a small paragraph on Molokini, but failed to recommend (or even list) any companies offering the boat trip. We had to do this leg work on our own.
Also, while I understand that there are thousands of restaurants in Maui and a book could not possibly list them all, this book listed maybe 5 restaurants in each area of Maui - just a very small fraction. Very rarely did the book recommend against eating somewhere - everything was sugar coated to the point where one would think that all the restaurants in Maui are great (not true!).
The book did get 3 stars for providing basic descriptions and maps. I would not use this book if you are looking for any sort of recommendations on where to spend your time in Maui, etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guides, June 27, 2003
By Bill Thomson "drbillthomson" (Bozeman, Montana USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Maui (Paperback)
The descriptions of Hawaii (and in this case Maui) in the Lonely Planet guidebooks is far and away the best available.

Frankly I'd recommend the Lonely Planet Hawaii instead. This book doesn't really add that much info beyond the LP Hawaii, I suppose the only reason to get this book is if you have no intention of going near any of the other Islands. But in my experience plans change, and on one trip we added a side trip to Molokai at the last minute (a 30 minute flight), after reading about it in the Hawaii guidebook.

Having said that, this is a good book, and if you are flying direct to Maui & home again this book is a bit cheaper and lighter that the Hawaii guide. Either way, you should be taking one of the LP guides with you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not great, May 17, 2005
By Walkman (Monterey, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Maui (Paperback)
Some useful details and guides, but overall it lacks the fine detail I was looking for. It seemed to gloss over some great places, and give unecessary information about some pretty bland things. It would be a decent addition to other books about Maui.
