Four-star Maui vacation on two-star budget

• One of the cheapest luxury of the island is shave ice. The award of four stars goes Ululani, nestled in an alley, Front Street in Lahaina. A scoop of ice the size of a water balloon splashed with Day-Glo colored syrup is $ 4.25.

• The Maui public-transport system offers a daily bus service on 12 routes. Rates are $ 1 per trip (no transfers), or $ 2 for a pass every day. See Www.mauicounty.gov / bus

Condo on the beach with pool and ocean views: $ 129 including taxes.

Late lunch at the chic resort next door: $ 10

Kona coffee, beach towels, beach chairs, parking. Priceless. As in free.

Even on Maui, one of the most expensive in Hawaii, affordable luxuries you expect the man of the art of stinginess without pain.

Forget McDonald and cheap motels. Four Star Maui on a budget of two stars has been my mission. To raise the bar, I hit on West Maui, the area of ​​the island of the most expensive resort, loved for its calm waters, cool trade winds and beaches for diving, surfing, swimming and people watching .

With a little creative financing, you can dine, sleep, swim and tour in style without breaking the bank account of precious time for the trading range high pressure time-share offer.

Cheaper sleeps

A check on www.biddingfortravel.com shown discerning travelers using the price scheme Priceline name-your-own rooms to score in the four-star resort hotels $ 150 - not bad, considering Maui average daily room rate was from $ 226 last year, the highest of the four main islands. However, with tax, resort fee and parking fees push the average winning bid close to $ 200, I decided to look elsewhere.

My heart soared when I saw a one bedroom condo on the beach in Maui - Beach of the West Maui signature with three miles of white sand and a paved walk Waterside - for $ 129 per night on HomeAway vacation site- by the owner (www.homeaway. com). But an email exchange with the owner revealed hidden costs, including cleaning fee of $ 85.
