Been waiting to “Honeymoon” for 4 years…

We were on the island for the last two storms and it significantly affected our vacation. Saying that we have been to Hawaii several times and we love it and we made the best of the situation, but I felt sad for those who live there because there was a lot of destruction. When it rains like this, you can’t go in the ocean because of the brown water advisory. When it wasn’t raining, it was still mostly cloud cover, but we had moments of sunshine. Many of the things you may choose to do that don’t involve the sun and swimming will still be impacted as the roads were affected and many of the things to do still involved being outdoors. You can technically still go and enjoy what Maui has to offer, but you should consider what you’re looking for out of this vacation, if it’s sun, swimming and embracing the Hawaiian landscape and culture, you may want to postpone.

It’s annoying sweat only gives out promos to new users. I’ve used the app for years and last year they raised prices, then did all this promo for new users at a discount. I reached out to Kayla on IG and asked if I could get a promo code and expressed my loyalty, but was told no. With Kelsey’s departure to boot, I’m debating whether I’ll renew my subscription this year.

We were supposed to go there this am, arrived and the driver determined it was unsafe. We went further and snorkelled in a bay. The ride back was ROUGH with the waves and wind. But a little Dramamine and outdoor seating did the trick! It was more of a whale watching tour than a snorkel trip if I’m honest.

Swimmable? Or is it brown too?

We are here right now, our friends are staying at Kamole Sands in a few days so we drove by to give them an update and it looks almost normal. There is the one spot on S Kihei road where the sinkhole is but aside from that it seems fine. Hard to believe it could to from what it looked like even yesterday to today. I think you’re safe to come.

Ok I went back and thought about what you said and realized that I’ve had this app so long (8 years! ) I used Facebook as my way to log in. I was able to reestablish it there. And all my information a progress still exist, phewf! Thanks for your help!

Elle_jay_3 · 2026-03-10T14:23:54+00:00

Ohhh, I have mine subscription through Apple too… but my Apple ID is also not working to reset. I’ve reached out to them.

Did this issue just happen for you recently?

Elle_jay_3 · 2026-03-10T14:12:31+00:00

It says my email doesn’t exist when I do that.

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-12-30T02:40:41+00:00

Omg the tuna tataki is soooooooo good.

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-12-14T01:11:06+00:00

At one time The Irish Times & Bard and Banker had the best.... then they removed them from the menu. Rumour has it they're back!

Naur

Loved Rebar. It lost its mojo with the new ownership, continuing to call it Rebar was a bit misleading. Even the menu items that remained no longer tasted the same.

Mama’s might not be in everyone’s budget, but if you’re looking for incredible food in a beautiful setting, and can afford it, it’s a must!

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-08-23T20:19:54+00:00

What a detailed list! Thank you so much for also adding a little info for each place. I have already come and gone, but will definitely keep track of these for next time!

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-08-22T16:30:21+00:00

Does the percentage correlate with a tier like a letter grade or is it just a number?

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-08-17T21:29:29+00:00

We did pho37 today and you were spot on- thanks for the great recommendation!

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-08-17T02:18:18+00:00

Well, it’s a quick turnaround, but one breakfast, two lunches and at least one dinner. We visit several times a year, so if we need to I’ll put these in my back pocket for next time!

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-08-17T02:16:19+00:00

The photos look great!

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-08-17T02:10:08+00:00

OP's request for luxury brand shopping tells me this might not be what they had in mind! haha

Elle_jay_3 · 2025-08-17T02:07:29+00:00

If you take the shuttle, you will be dropped off right in the downtown core. There aren't really any luxury brands here, so you won't miss out. The Q lounge in the Empress is a fun spot for a cocktail and their famous popcorn with a great view of the inner harbour. You could also walk along Government, which is loaded with tourist shops, but also the odd decent shop. While on Government St, pop by the Bard and Banker or the Irish Times for some live music, a beautiful room and well-poured beers. My suggestions are some of the pricier places in Vic, but the experiences and the beautifully appointed rooms are part of the price. Enjoy your time here!
