Guide Review - Paradise Family Guides: Maui - Guide Review
The latest edition of Paradise Family Guides Maui is written by Candy Adair Aluli who actually lives on Maui and has done so for over twenty years. In her day job, Candy runs a public relations agency on Maui through which she is keenly aware of the needs and desires of visitors to Maui as well as the most recent additions to the visitor industry.
Paradise Family Guides Maui is my pick for the best general guidebook to Maui. It is thoroughly readable which is a rarity in the guidebook industry. More importantly, as an annual visitor to Maui, I find that I agree completely with most of Candy's Author's Personal Best Bets.
I always take several guidebooks with me when I visit Maui, and Paradise Family Guides Maui will now be with me on future visits. Available numerous places at a discounted price of under $12.00, you won't find a better buy for over 450 pages of detailed and accurate information.
