Have you been there? February is a great time to see whales, as well. we went on a whale-watching tour, too.
Yes, the Hyatt Regency is where we stay for the Maui Invitational which we go to every time Duke plays. So I have only been to Maui at Thanksgiving, the hotel has a nice Thanksgiving spread with both traditional T-giving food and local delights. We prefer Kauai for normal vacations and have been there probably in every month of the year we like to mix it up because snorkeling and diving are better off different sides of the island at different times of the year.
Maui has the captive penguins and Kauai has the wild chickens.

Oahu has a wild chicken problem too, 
The Wife and I spent half the trip at the Moana Surfrider on Waikiki and half at the Hyatt Regency on Maui. We're not OT ballers so that trip is not something we can do often, especially with a kid in grad school. Had a few friends say how much they like Kauai though.
We did love Maui (both really but Maui was more laid-back feeling than Honolulu). We didn't take the road to Hana all the way but went to an arboretum roughly halfway there. I think it was called the Garden of Eden Arboretum. The drive was spectacular and the arboretum was very nice. Enjoyed that day quite a bit.

Those are Gamecocks ... or, as the natives say, fighting red jungle fowl that were released by other pacific asians as sporting game birds hundreds of years ago.
My wife and I had a condo on the Ala Wai canal (on the golf course) overlooking Waikiki and Diamond Head for years but ... we used to hop the other islands when we had the time.
The wife spoke with a friend over there this morning .... this fire is bad and, no one is saying it in the press but, the locals are saying all three fires were set by arsonists strategically and intentionally. There's no other explanation. She told my wife that everyone over there knows this is arson plain and simple.
