Booking early on Maui Hotels is no different then booking early on Airfares. Sometimes you can save a lot of money by preplanning your trip and looking for the best rate in advance. Tip 2 - After you make a Maui hotel reservation you will receive a confirmation email. This email has valuable information like your confirmation number, and the Hotel's phone number. Print a copy of this email and take it along to confirm your reservation with the hotel. Tip 3 - If a Maui hotel shows no availability it may mean that the Maui hotel requires you to stay more then 2 nights. Try increasing the number of nights, you may find rooms are available. Tip 4 - Most of the time your credit card will not be billed until you check out of the hotel. Exceptions to this are the best rate guaranteed hotels which are prepaid to reserve the room.
