Have stayed in Kihei several times, 20 minute drive from ogg. Lots of restaurants in Lahina (half hour drive or so). Snorkling at Molokini crater is always a good bet. Kannapali has some of the highest priced hotels on the island. I did a 172 rental checkout from Maui aviators when I was there about 15 years ago, made it my own sight seeing flight. Whales might be migrating that time of year too.
