The open-aired lobby is simple and elegant with balconies that look over the one acre inner courtyard, atrium koi pond and waterfall. The atmosphere is one that whispers rather than shouts relaxation.
The Westin Maui Prince and the Makena Resort encompass over 1800 pristine acres of prime oceanfront property fronting one of Hawaii's largest and most secluded beaches. If the quiet atmosphere and secluded location aren't enough to enjoy, the resort has a long list of complimentary facilities to use including an excecise room, library, whirlpool, croquet lawn, six-station fitness trail, ping pong, volleyball, shuffleboard, badminton and hammocks. There are also several jogging and walking paths ranging from just over a mile to over two miles in length. The sun and scenery along these paths will easily keep most motivated for a week.
Any visitor to the Maui Prince must make time to take a catamaran sail to the island of Molokini. A protected fish sanctuary, it is a popular spot for snorkeling and other water activities. Teeming with the most colorful of tropical fish, it is an experience that will be the highlight of any trip.
Golf is the main attraction at the resort. There are two courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and a host of other services for the begining to advanced golfer to experience. The older South Course is a 6,739-yard, par 72 course with natural kiawe tree lined fairways, well manicured greens, and outstanding ocean and mountain views. The par-5 number ten which sits at the base of the ancient Puu Olai cinder cone has been rated one of Hawaii's driving holes. It's long 502 yards allows golfers to get the most out of their woods. The par 4 number 16 is the highlight of this course and reminiscent of number 17 at the Cypress Point golf club at Pebble Beach, California. A gentle sloping two tiered green is visible across the dune-swept ravine that is bordered along its entire length by the blue Pacific.
