Maui does not need any more fancy hotels, especially in Wailea. That area is already packing them in shoulder to shoulder. Then all the tourist that stay at them go over to the west side and it causes a massive traffic jam along Honoapliilani Hwy. There’s talk of a Lahaina bypass road, but they would not need the road if they would quit building hotels.
It’s getting bad. Just say no to Starwood! Maui is becoming another Oahu.
