Almost all of our bookings are back to back (same day in, same day out) which makes things trickier. If you have a late flight out or an early flight in, we highly recommend that you consider booking an extra night if it’s available to better accommodate your flight schedule if you want to arrive early or depart late.

This is just one more reason why I would always choose Kihei.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />390030010026, TA-142-076-5696-01
