How can I get cheap hotels in Lahaina?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Lahaina.

If you're looking to travel to Lahaina on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $223. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $995. Staying a short amount of time in Lahaina is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Lahaina, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in Lahaina, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Lahaina, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
For additional savings on Lahaina cheap hotels, be sure to check out Expedia Rewards. You may be eligible for extra discounts on your trip, and you can earn points for even more savings on your next trip. Becoming a member is entirely free.

Aston Maui Kaanapali Villas
5/5 Excellent
"We loved the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our rooms, one of which was a “regular” and one which was a “Jr. Studio Deluxe”. Our “regular” room had a two-burner cook top, blender, toaster, dishwasher, coffee maker, standard-size refrigerator and a two-person table and chairs. We had two balconies with chairs, but no table. Our studio had a king bed and a pull-out couch with coffee table and a dining table for four. It had a full range with oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, blender, toaster and coffee maker. There was a table for four on the balcony also. The pool was pleasant and heated. Our only desire was for a pool-side server. The beach is gorgeous. We rented snorkel gear from the rental shack. The front desk and housekeeping were responsive and fast delivering towels and other necessities. Wi-Fi was spotty at best, but was undergoing an upgrade while we were there. The restaurant was okay, nothing special and difficult to get simple things like chips and salsa before noon. We never dined for dinner, opting to be out in town instead. Parking was easy and plentiful, the grounds were nice but in need of sprucing up in areas. We used the activities center to book an excursion and it was great. The laundry facility was large and had plenty of machines to use that were efficient. We used the free Kaanapali Trolley multiple times. We will definitely return-so much better than a hotel! We loved our stay at the Maui Kaanapali Villas!"
