10. We have stayed at the Maui Prince every year in Feb for our anniversary since 05, this time for two weeks 2/12- 2/26 in a Mauka Suite from which we still had an ocean view I am amazed at some of the negative comments by those who say the most lame things imaginable, look the hotel is not new, but is very well maintained, imagine how many hundreds of people have stayed in these rooms, some wall paper could suffer, and sand dunes are there to stop high seas during storms, the staff at the hotel are simply the best and like any building in such constant use it shows it's age, but has aged well, the gardens, beach and location are most excellent, the food at any of the hotel venues is great but of course pricey, how much time do you really want to spend in your room while you are on Maui anyway?, the houskeeping staff are great also, they really do a great job and should not be overlooked, so if you are not going to be so idiotic as to expect an older hotel to be all 'new' inside, this is for you, if you are a persnickity snobby type you will probably complain that you can't see the ocean while you eat your eggs benedict, maybe those people will be glad to know that prince hotels does not own the hotel for close to two years now, the new owners (Everett Dowling / Morgan Stanley) have gained approval and the hotel will eventually be torn down and a new one built in it's place, along with other homes and some other developments, I hope it does not ruin the area, we will stay at the new Makena Resort, but we will always fondly remember the Maui Prince, it is a very special place.
