1. Location Location    Pass through the arched colonnades into an airy lobby that opens to the ocean, and you will like you stepped into last century's Hawaii. It is strange to think that just outside is Lahaina's Front Street - Maui's center of action, with many local shops, art galleries and restaurants that stay open late because there are always people walking around.    The grounds at Lahaina Shores Beach Resort are nicely landscaped and have a large oceanfront lawn where you can lie out and relax with a book, or just stare at the waves and daydream.    Lahaina Shores Resort is located right next door to 505 Front Street - a recreated whaling village that now includes several charming shops, restaurants and bars. Everything else in Lahaina, from 5-star restaurant to fast food joints to grocery store, is just a short walk away.   2. Rooms    While Lahaina Shores is not a full-service resort with all the extras, the rooms are very nicely appointed. Decor is classic Hawaiian style, with wicker furniture and light-colored tropical patterns. It is great to have a big kitchen and balcony. There are 199 rooms, 6 stories. Each room features: Size: 550 sq ft studio, 1,100 sq ft 1-bedroom Air-conditioning Private lanai Fully equipped kitchen (microwave, coffee maker, pots and pans, utensils) Complimentary first day in-room coffee supply Remote-control color TV Hair dryer Iron and board Daily maid service         3. Restaurants    Many restaurants and cafes in Lahaina are within walking distance from the Lahaina Shores Resort. Here are our 4 favorite places:    1) Pacific'O Restaurant – next door, at 505 Front Street    As you walk across the Italian marble floor towards the open-air patio, you will see for yourself why the Zagat Servey has placed Pacific'O in top 10 for "Romantic Location" and "Best View".    You will enjoy beautiful beachfront setting, attentive "Aloha-style" service and excellent Pacific Rim Cuisine. If you come on Friday or Saturday, you can also listen to wonderful live jazz music.    The award-winning menu features many not-to-be-missed items, such as Shrimp and Basil Won Tons, Roast Maui Onion and Goat Cheese Salad, and the fresh catch of the day, seared with a macadamia coconut crust and Thai peanut coconut sauce. The wine list boasts over 100 selections, including many rare wines of different styles and tastes.    2) Cheeseburger in Paradise – 0.6 miles away, at 811 Front Street    This place is always hopping! A terrific atmosphere and affordable prices grant it instant popularity, and the burgers are out of this world. Choose a juicy loaded beef burger and add yummy gigantic fries and a tropical drink, or opt for the veggie and chicken selections.    The location is unbeatable, next to the seawall on Front Street in Lahaina. You will have an absolutely spectacular oceanfront view from your table.    Live band comes on stage around 4:30pm, and they play a variety of rock music, classic tunes, and current hits, to make sure everybody is having a good time.    3) Gerard's – 0.6 miles away, at 174 Lahainaluna Rd    This place is perfect for a romantic dinner for two. It is located in the heart of Lahaina town. Make sure you reserve a table on the lanai or outside patio, White wicker tables and chairs complement the ambiance of dining in a French Country Inn.    You will discover "Contemporary Island French Cuisine" invented by a well-known chef Gerard Reversade. Menu includes Shiitake and Oyster Mushrooms in Puff Pastry, Chilled Cucumber Soup with Oma'opio Goat Cheese and Dill, Fisherman's Ahi Stew just like in the Basque Country, Mousse au Chocolat en Profiteroles and many other delicacies... even Beluga Caviar!    4) Blue Lagoon Tropical Bar & Grill – 0.3 miles away, at 658 Front Street    Looking for a remote idyllic hideaway to grab a bite to eat? Then head to “Blue Lagoon Tropical Bar & Grill” nestled right across from the famous Banyan Tree. it is surrounded by waterfalls, palm streets and babbling brooks, and feels like a nice retreat from the busy Front Street.    Menu includes tasty appetizers like Ale Battered Mushrooms and panko-crusted Calamari Strips that are perfect with Blue Lagoon's creative tropical drinks like "Red Death" or "Sex in a Palm Tree". One of the best entrees is "Ono-Ono" grilled, topped with mango salsa and set atop a bed of white rice with mango sauce and sir-fry vegetables. Prices are very reasonable, so you can take the whole family there and not break your pocketbook.   4. Things to do    The beach in front of the hotel is pretty narrow but has some great snorkeling. If you want to go on a half-day or full-day snorkeling, whale-watching or deep-sea fishing cruise, just walk to the marina. Other activities, like golf, tennis and day trips, can be easily planned through the hotel's activity desk. Other facilities include: Swimming pool and whirlpool spa Tennis courts across the street Complimentary continental breakfast orientation on your first morning Concierge Beach activities Barbecue grill Poolside lunch service from nearby restaurant Charging privileges at select restaurants at 505 Front Street 24-hour front desk service Laundromat on each floor (fee) Safe deposit boxes (fee) Dry cleaning service (fee) Parking ($5/day in 2005)	Lahaina Shores building (mountain side): 505 Front Street shopping mall next door: Grounds (2 pictures): Studio (2 pictures): Kitchen: Bedroom in 1-bedroom condo: Mountain view lanai Ocean front lanai (2 pictures): Pacific'o Restaurant: Pool (2 pictures): Whirlpool spa: Beach in front of Lahaina Shores Resort (2 pictures):
