点评:We had been coming to West Maui for over ten years for two week stays in January or February. This year was the worst, and our last. The Sandy Beaches on the west side from Mile Marker 14 in Olowalu, all the way North to Ka'anapali are eroded. The local government refuses to intervene and the beaches are gone. The weather was particularly bad this January, though we had enjoyed many visits in the past with different weather patterns. This year the snorkel boats were not running in the rough seas and the local homeless / houseless were everywhere. The are tents and debris in front of the resorts in Ka'anapali, as well as the beach parks. There seems to be little motivation to clean things up. There was an on going demonstration in front of Whalers Village letting us know we were not welcome as visitors. The topper was our experience on a quiet evening walk after dinner. A group of Hawaiian Youth came up behind my husband and I screaming profanities, yelling us to go back to the mainland. One of the youths three a full glass of ice and soda at my head from behind. It was unprovoked and came out of nowhere. We tried to talk to the assailant, but he continued to yell insults and profanities. We made a report to the Maui Police. This was our worst experience in West Maui, and have to conclude things have changed here drastically for the worst.
