Rating:  Summary: Awesome Review: My husband and I just went to Maui for our first time. We carried this book everywhere with us and we loved it! We got to several waterfalls and other cool places where we were the only ones!! The details in the book were great. I've told alot of people about this book and I highly recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: Love the Island, love the Book Review: This is a great guide book. My wife and I used it for 12 days recently visiting Maui and found it incredibly helpful. The dining reviews are right on the mark (though one great place, Lahiana Fish Co.-is not in this edition), and the tips to get around the island are very helpful. We found the great banana bread and some little special places that were recommended. I can't imagine visiting the island without this book, and apparently others could not as well. We saw many copies in other people's hands. This is the only guide book you need when visiting Maui!
Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT Review: I completely concur. This book is great. It will take you to spots you'd never find without it, and every recommendation was correct. This is the only book you will need. Don't waste your money on anything else. It has the maps, the dining, the shopping, the hotels, everything! We had several books, maps, brochures, etc... and 99% of the time, we only used this book.
Rating:  Summary: Perfect for Maui first-timers Review: I went to Maui for 3 days and followed many of the recommendations to a tee. The Road to Hana was helpful in locating beaches and waterfalls that other guide books don't include, so you will be able to enjoy with few, if any, tourists. The mile markers on the maps help out greatly! I wish other maps included them. I found a Maui Drive Map (which you can get for free at convenience stores, gas stations, car rental offices) was helpful alongside the guidebook so you know where you are relative to the rest of the island. I think that many other reviewers thought the secluded areas weren't so secluded because everyone buys this book! I did notice that people in those "secluded" areas had this guidebook in hand. So everyone was part of the Maui Revealed readers' club... I would definitely recommend this to first-timers. Unless you're in Maui for a week or more, you won't be able to see all the sights this guidebook recommends. Therefore, we will definitely be going back with guidebook in hand!
Rating:  Summary: What a Beautiful Guide Book !!! Review: Oh my gosh what a great book!! It tells you EVERYTHING ! Easy to find references. Layed out beautifully and the PICTURES!! an absolutly beautiful book!! A must have!!!
Rating:  Summary: This is the book to buy for Maui! Review: I was extremely impressed with this book! Great maps to use while on the island (maps are on the inside covers and also in side the book - won't easily tear or get lost). Great aerial photographs of their top picks for best beaches, along with great detailed descriptions of them (all the info you need on the beaches: snorkeling, wind, sand, people, facilities, accessibility, etc.). Fantastic descriptions of the things to do and see in each area of the island, describing your drives & stops on the highway down to the tenth of the mile! Wonderfully descriptive explanations of all the available island activities: snorkeling, boat tours, parasailing, helicopter, submarine, etc. - This really helped us decide which activities we wanted to do, and more specifically, which activity company to go with (Example, the snorkel on Molokini boats are described to a "T", which boats stop in the best spots, who offers the best lunches, etc...very good detail!) Buying the book gives you a password code to their website, which offers more information on lodging, since they couldn't fit every hotel's review in the compact book size. I wish there was more information on dining choices, but as they mention in the book, it just changes too much and there are just too many.
Rating:  Summary: Must have for Maui vacation! Review: Best guide book of maui period. Used it every day of 2 week vacation. Great for first timers to hawaii that don't have a clue.
Rating:  Summary: This book will become your bible in Maui Review: My husband and I honeymooned in Maui last month, and we took this book. It has the best recommendations for what to do - and what NOT to do. Every meal, sight, trip, etc. that it recommended and we tried was amazing, we didn't find a single "miss" and had a blast. It was thanks to this book that we did Powered Hanggliding, it was the highlight of our adventures.
Rating:  Summary: No Brainer Review: This is the absolute best touring book. We spent a whole week in Hana and used it every day!!
Rating:  Summary: The Best Guidebook Review: We wanted this trip of a lifetime to Maui to be full of only good memories. "Maui Revealed" became our bible. We found the restaurant ratings honest and accurate and the sightseeing recommendations were right on. These folks truly know the island and we enjoyed their historical tidbits as much as we enjoyed their recommendations.
