Hotels do go up 10% to 20% in Maui every year. North America about 3% to 15%. It's a fact. Look it up, its in the Maui news. Plus taxes and resort fees and parking is another 10 to 30 percent. Go online now and find a nice one bedroom for rent on Maui for January for less then $500 a night. It's doesn't exist. Ocean Front and not some dump. That Westin rents for $560 to $1,000 a night plus $25 resort fees, $22 for parking and 14% in taxes. Maintenance for all companies go up about 2 to 6%. A lot Less than Hotel inflation. I'm a financial advisor. FYI I'm not pro anything, but DONT lie and say maintenance fees go up more then hotel rates. See below: Direct from their website. 2 bedroom for one week. The 15% taxes alone is almost $1,500 for the week in ONLY taxes. Maintenance for the week is way less than $2,400 !!!! I own a 2 bedroom at this resort. From website.
