Globe Trotter Guide Book Entry

Aloha Kakou:

In June, the writer, editor and photographer for Globe Trotter Guidebooks stopped by to take a look at the Outrigger Maui Eldorado. Globe Trotter is a hugely successful Japanese guidebook company that writes strictly for a Japanese audience. I had asked the Globe Trotter crew to send me a book when it was finally published and that book arrived on my desk last week. The book takes in the entire island of Maui and, aside from some of the obvious "Japaneseisms", includes a section called Condominium Life which is dedicated to explaining things like how to work the stove and how to fold out the sofa bed.

Here's the Outrigger Maui Eldorado's page. A translation follows.

Outrigger Maui Eldorado

A condo located on the fairway and facing the ocean

A cottage-style condominium located within the Kaanapali resort. Twelve 2-story buildings are situated within the Kaanapali Golf Course. Guests can enjoy the greens of the golf course, coconut trees and blooming plumerias from the window, giving them a serene feeling of a resort atmosphere. The property was built in 1969, but the interior and kitchen are neatly maintained from multiple renovations. The spacious kitchen, coordinated in white, is fully equipped with large refrigerator, microwave, dish washer, coffee maker, and other electrical equipment making it easy to use.

A major hotel group, Outrigger, has taken over the management from 1997. Information is now available in Japanese, and guests can also make reservations in Japanese.

The Whaler's Village is 3 minutes away from the property by free shuttle bus within the resort. Guests can also enjoy barbeque at the recreation deck facing the ocean.

The notes by the photos are explanation of the units - mostly saying the same thing as above.
