SOUTH MAUI HOTEL
We had come to what is called South
Maui with the idea of discovering this hotel. Somebody had suggested it
was a bit on the old fashioned, gaudy side, but we loved the place.
Amazingly charming. Could have spent hours there. It covered
a lotta ground, right off the ocean. A self contained world.
The more I saw, the more I "lusted" for the place.
"Don't
you wish," I asked Brigitte, "we could have stayed here during our Maui
vacation?"
She
laughed. "A bit out of our range."
"Well,
maybe one night?" I countered, playfully winking. "I'd give up the
copter flight for one night in this hotel paradise!"
"Oh,
sure you would!" she laughed. "I thought you loved the copter flight."
"I
did. But this..." being a bit on the dramatic side, "this is a fight
into a totally different dimension!"
Well,
what would you call it? Flashy? Lower East End slums?
Or just your normal run-in-the-mill resort hotel?
Perhaps
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek. Perhaps!? But when
I discovered the cost of a room here, I re-assessed my comments.
One look at their room rates and I did a major double take. Brigitte was
in for a surprise! They were socking the guest a hot $300-1600 a
night! Talk about pricey! One night here would have been a
match
for the copter ride.
Sad
to say, the most we could afford were a few pictures, a bit of coffee &
dessert, plus a free walking tour of "de joint"!
