Wailea

I'm not overly keen on running so my attempts at avoidance are quite successful....but, when Z suggested that we work out on this trip I thought it was a good idea. When he suggested we could go for a run one morning along the boulevard in Wailea I reluctantly agreed. It turned out to be the most scenic run I've ever done with the ocean waves crashing on the volcanic rocks beside me and seeing the beautiful sandy Wailea beach.

Our stay at the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa included a buffet breakfast so each morning we made our leisurely way to Mala restaurant, waited for an outdoor table and had great breakfasts overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean.

This resort had everything we needed for our stay and so we didn't actually venture too far from the resort. It gave us everything we were looking for - great beaches on either side, three pools, a fitness centre (didn't get around to using it though), restaurant, plenty of places to lounge, and a shopping centre a quick 2 minute walk away. This resort was really a great place to stay and provided a scenic, relaxing place for us to start out our vacation.

The Shops at Wailea is an upscale shopping centre where you can find stores like Gucci, Tiffany and other high-end brands that I couldn't be bothered with, but also located here is our favourite restaurant in Wailea - Cheeseburger. Great food with live entertainment on the weekends and great happy hour specials, this is a family friendly restaurant worth checking out. You can also find a great ice cream store called Lappert's in the shopping centre. Lappert's makes their waffle cones fresh on site and you can smell them as you get close. In fact we were having dinner at Cheeseburger which is about four storefronts away and we could smell the waffles from there.
