Includes some unique info. and tips that we didn't find in other guidebooks.
Compared to LP's 700-page "Hawaii" (all-islands) book, this Maui 350-pager provides many more photos; more, larger, and more readable maps; and much, much more detail about itineraries and activities.
Unfortunately, several assertions and advice proved flat wrong. This indicated either researchers who'd sampled too many Mai Tai's, or a stingy publisher's budget that denied them sufficient time to get their notes right. Either way, it eroded our confidence in all of LP's Hawaii content.
(One example: At Maui's most stunning single attraction, the Iao Needle, this book confidently tells you to bypass the footbridge where everyone else is posing their snapshots, and to instead walk a path below the bridge to get a nicer shot. No -- you just get a shot dominated by the ugly metal footbridge. This was inconsequential bad advice that wasted only a few minutes...but such bad advice adds up, to waste your scarce travel time.)
Overall, we got much better mileage out of Andrew Doughty's "Maui Revealed" (the island's best single guidebook) and "Frommer's Maui" (which contains a surprising amount of budget-travel resources).
