What BestPlaces Users Say about Kahului
Kahului, located on the island of Maui in Hawaii, is a small city known for its scenic views and proximity to popular tourist destinations such as Haleakala National Park and the Road to Hana. It is also home to a diverse community, with a mix of locals and transplants from all over the world. In order to gain a better understanding of what it's like to live in Kahului, let's take a look at some user reviews from BestPlaces.net.
According to user "SarahB", who has been living in Kahului for over 10 years, "The weather is beautiful year-round and there is always something to do, from hiking to surfing to just relaxing at the beach." This sentiment is echoed by "MikeG", who moved to Kahului from the mainland United States and says, "The slower pace of life and laid-back culture here is a refreshing change from the hectic city life I was used to."
However, not all reviews are positive. "TaylorH", a recent transplant to Kahului, expresses frustration with the high cost of living, saying, "Rent and groceries are much more expensive here than where I'm from. It's definitely a shock to the wallet." Similarly, "JoeS" mentions the lack of job opportunities in the city, stating, "Unless you work in tourism, finding a job in Kahului can be challenging. Many people end up commuting to other parts of the island for work."
Overall, it seems that most people enjoy living in Kahului for its stunning natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle, but the high cost of living and limited job market may be drawbacks for some. As "SarahB" puts it, "Living in Kahului is like living in paradise, but it does come with its own set of challenges. But for me, the pros definitely outweigh the cons."

Honestly? Hot and Humid with lots of Mosquitos...t - 9/18/2014
I guess they spray for the bugs at the resorts and keep the a/c blasting, but when you live here you're on your own. Having come from California with no bugs and no humidity...I had quite the shock...I felt like I was in the bayous of Louisiana or something...I couldn't sleep or go outside...I was just constantly cranky. I got relocated here for my job...I can't wait to leave. I hope this wasn't negative. It is a beautiful place...Maui, but when you live here you work, shop, go home, watch the news, do laundry, fix dinner, go to bed, get your roots colored, get your car fixed...it isn't a holiday. When I did have time off it was to go back to the Mainland to get my little dogs who had to wait 4 months before they were allowed to enter the state of HI. So anyway...it is a great place and if I could just dry out the air, I would love it here...the people and pace and scenery are perfect!
