We enjoyed our stay here after a few days on the Maui west coast beach area. It was a central spot for seeing other parts of the island - Halekalea, Paia, Hana. You can walk into the little town of Makawao but there's not much to see other than a few galleries and a few eatiers - an afternoon would... More

We stayed here for 6 days while on vacation in Maui. We were three adults and two kids and we rented two cottages.

We've stayed at the Banyan Tree about 5 times since our first visit in 1999, and it just keeps getting better every time! Last summer, my husband, two daughters and I stayed in the Hibiscus Cottage. In past years, we've stayed in the Ginger, Gardenia and Plumeria cottages, as I recall. The beds are comfy, which is important on vacation... More
