Which resort should you choose for your dream family Hawaiian trip when you travel to Maui? The BEST place to stay and why.

So when we finally got the chance to take our teens to Hawaii, I knew we’d really have to stay in a resort to give our teens the Hawaii experience I remembered.

This is the part where I’m supposed to start gushing about how everything at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa was perfect, and heavenly, and paradise!

But I’m not going to do that.

But I’m still going to show you why the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa is the BEST place to stay. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close….

Where is the best place to stay on Maui? West, South, or East? Asimple guide to compare the three main areas of Maui to find the best resort or condo for your Hawaiian vacation.Where to stay in Maui? How hard could it be? It’s an island, right?

Wrong. Well, not wrong about the island part. It is an island. But wrong about the easy part.

There are two main areas are where you’ll find most of the resorts. There’s West Maui – which probably looks like north Maui to you on a map, and South Maui – which is also on the west coast of Maui, but not as far west as West Maui and further south than West Maui. Get that?

One image size for all social media - A social media image size that will also work for photos on a blog or website, so that each photo is processed only once.Image sizes (photo sizes) for blogs and social media change all the time as screen resolution gets better. This can make it hard to know what size to upload photos to a blog. And since some social media you can share from a blog post, you’ll want to include images that are the correct size in your posts. But I want to streamline it. I’m searching for one image size for all social media.

One image size for all social media

Choosing an image size for blog posts

Since I personally like to use Pinterest, I’m still going to make a main image for my blog posts that will look good on Pinterest and will display decently on Facebook and Twitter. But I’m going to start trying to share images on Instagram or possibly Snapchat. When I have a post with a lot of images, like my post about Maui[link], I’m going to make the additional images a size and dimensions that will work well on the photo social media platforms….
