Where to stay in Maui - The secret to the best tropical beach vacation ever at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, best West Maui ResortsThe secret to the best tropical beach vacation ever at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa is to have a beach rental – rent a beach tent or cabana for a day – or two!

You have to do this ahead of time, when you make your reservations, because they fill to capacity. Before you’ve been there, it’s almost impossible understand your different options. There aren’t any photos on the hotel website, and you don’t know the layout of the hotel and beach. But the beach services center at the Hyatt Regency Maui did end up giving me the perfect recommendation after asking about my family’s likes and activities!

But so you won’t have to just guess and hope they give you the right recommendation, read on to find out about the different types of beach rentals we saw at the Hyatt Regency Maui Spa and Resort, and how to reserve them….

Which resort should you choose for your dream family Hawaiian trip when you travel to Maui? The BEST place to stay and why. Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa.I’ve only stayed at resorts three times in my entire life. The very first time I stayed at a resort was on a trip to Hawaii twenty years ago. 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?

No? Well keep reading and I’ll explain….

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….
