We are yearly visitors to Maui and will be there for 8 wks throughout January and February. I love Hana and would love to spend 2 or 3 nights there without breaking the bank for accommodations.. At this point I can't see anything real nice under $200 per night. Does anyone have any suggestions?

We loved staying at an individual cottage. It was the Guest Houses of Malani. It is listed under B & Bs on Tripadvisor. Their website is hanaguesthouses.com/There is a 1 bdrm and 2 bdrm cottage. Watching sunrise from the front porch with a cup of Kona coffee in hand was religious experience. Rates are closer to $300 though.

8 weeks on Maui? I'd spend a week in Hana.

A week in Hana in *winter* could be a week in the rain, watching the ocean pound the shore. That's *fine* if it's what you want, but would be a disappointment for some.

Wow, i posted my opinion and have been told it is "fine" but... How very superior of you.

Nothing negative intended. People reading here don't always realize the difference winter makes, even on Maui. Last winter, in particular, Maui got a thorough drenching. Flash floods closed roads in Upcountry and Hana. Some people would be fine with the dramatic weather, but not if they were expecting something else.

I was addressing the OP who is a yearly visitor to Maui, and spending 8 weeks this year, so I'm inclined to think they are very aware of winter weather and surf conditions.
