This is my first time to Maui. I'm staying in Lahaina now, but took a little vacation on my vacation to the East side. After waking up every morning to do an epic hike, and then yesterday doing the reverse road to Hana, hiking the Pipiwa trail and the lava field all the way to the end at Wai‘ānapanapa Sate Park, arriving at Howard's truly felt like a refuge. Not only to soak my happy but tired bones, but the sound of wind in the palms, was like a lullabye. In fact it was so relaxing there, I still awoke at 5 a.m., but stayed vertical just about up until checkout, before back tracking to Garden of Eden and a few other stops I missed yesterday. It will be great to spend my last couple days beach side over here, but honestly, if I were to do it all over again, I would have booked Room 1 at Howard's for the whole week. Truly magical.
