Hi There! In Sept. I took a quick vacation to Maui where my then boyfriend proposed....it was perfect! We stayed between Kihei and Wailea at a place called Mana Kai Maui. It was amazing. We, too, had a very difficult time finding good accomodations for an affordable price. Most of the places in Kihei, you have to cross the road, which I really didn't like the idea of. Then we found the Mana Kai Maui. It's location is great - directly on the beach. Looks like it had recently been renovated, the lobby was beautiful and the beach was so nice. The 5 Palms restaurant is on the ground level and you can rent paddleboards, snorkel gear, etc right from their grounds as well. We found it to be a great place to stay and the price was very reasonable considering we had an oceanview oceanfront location. It's definitely worth checking out. Also, while we were there, we saw at least 3 different weddings & reception parties, so I'm guessing it must be a hotspot for that!
