If you're searching for a small, low-key, non-resort hotel, the Mauian could be just the spot. Tucked away in Napili on Maui’s northwest coast, this motel-style lodging is blessed with a gorgeous location on protected Napili Bay, with views across the ocean channel of Molokai. The 2-acre property has an expansive lawn that stretches to a semi-private beach. Guest rooms are simply but tastefully decorated in tropical style, with bright colors and bamboo furnishings. There are no in-room TVs or phones, but there are kitchenettes for vacation stays. An island-style continental breakfast is provided in the hotel's common room, which also has a TV.

Mauian Hotel Amenities:
