Unique Independent Hotels on Maui
Maui is considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. However, like the other islands of Hawai'i, Maui can have quite a few tourists who wish to visit such a beautiful place. Many hotel and resort chains have established a foothold on the island, but if you're looking for an independent hotel, Maui has plenty to go around for the traveler who seeks to spend their money with the locals. Also, just because a hotel is independent, doesn't mean that it can't be top quality. Many of the resorts and hotels on Maui are stunningly beautiful in their own right. Not to mention that these accommodation options can also be affordable, too. Sometimes the locally owned places can offer a better value because they are just as luxurious as chain resorts while keeping to a lower profit margin. The end result is a savings for you and a great vacation in the process. Below are some of Maui's best independent hotels.
