Hello Mary2E,

I hope I can help you here. If you go in November I feel that the weather up in Kapalua might be a bit iffy. We have been there in November and it was raint and windy. usually it's windy up there anyway, but the wind can get brutal that time of year.

If you want to be close to Lahaina then the Four Seasons might be out of the question. Wailea is quite far from Lahaina. I don't know what type of budget, if at all you are looking at, but you can join Starwood (spg.com) and get 35% on Hawaii hotels right off the bat. It would seem that the Sheraton would be quieter than the Westin for you if you choose to stay in Kaanapali. Kaanapali is busier than the other area's, but it's closest to Lahaina.

If you don't mind the drive then the Four Seasons in Wailea might be your best bet for real quiet. The Kea Lani is more family oriented being an all suite hotel. The Grand Wailea truly is Disney Land.

I wish I could help you more. You can log onto sheraton-hawaii.com and look at the live web cams to see the Sheraton and the Westin properties. Click on live web cams up in the left hand corner. You might also want to check out the Hyatt. The grounds are expansive, but again, it is very kid friendly with the large pool area. It always feels very peaceful over at the Hyatt when we walk their grounds.
