Maui Beaches Honolua Bay Beach Maui HawaiiHonolua Bay
Part of a marine life preserve, Honolulu Bay has crystal clear waters in the summer great for scuba diving and snorkeling. During the winter months it turns into a surfing attraction when the waves really start rolling in. There’s not much of a sand stretch on this beach. There’s a small sand beach for sunbathing, etc but the real activity is in the water.
Kaanapali Beach Kaanapali Beach Maui HawaiiImagine pristine water and gold-colored sands and you’re probably imaging Kaanapali Beach. This 4 mile beach is the beach front to many island resorts. It never feels too crowded as the beach is so large. Snorkeling and scuba diving is best around the large rock in the water in front of the Sheraton hotel known as “Black Rock.” Exotic fish come out in droves around Black Rock.
DT Fleming Beach Fleming Beach Kapalua MauiThis quiet beach is large enough where it never feels crowded and is great for all the regular water activities such as snorkeling, swimming, bodyboarding, etc. Although occasionally the water is a little cloudy for snorkeling. Waves can get pretty crazy here in the winter so it’s best not to go in the water at this time if you’re a beginner.
Wailea Beach Maui HawaiiWailea Beach
Fronting the beautiful Wailea Four Seasons Resort and the Grand Wailea Resort, Wailea Beach is great for family fun and swimming. Waves don’t get too out of control here as the water is protected on either side by lava rock points. Snorkeling and bodyboarding is popular here. This is also one of the spots for whale watching.

Kauai Beaches hanalei bay beach kauai hawaiiHanalei Bay

anini beach kauai hawaiiAnini Beach
On the north shore of Kauai you’ll find the 3 mile stretch of Anini Beach. This well-protected beach is one of the safest places to swim and the blue water makes it one of the most aesthetic spots as well. A reef runs along the coastline creating the blue water.

Just along the Kohala Coast this white sand beach is lined by clear waters that are great for snorkeling. Rocks on the left side allow for the clearest area for snorkeling.

Kikaua Point Beach Big Island HawaiiKikaua Point Beach
Lava rocks and palm trees line this beach which is also backed by a grass lawn. Kaki Point is particularly family-friendly because of a protected inlet that features shallow waters for kids.

Molokai Beaches Dixie Maru Cove Molokai HawaiiDixie Maru Cove
At the edge of a small bay you’ll find Dixie Maru Cove. It’s a tiny beach covered in white sand but the waters prove perfect for swimming especially during the summer as a fringing coral reef protects it from the open ocean. Snorkeling and swimming are great during the summer months. The winter tends to produce choppier waters.
Halawa Beach Park Molokai HawaiiHalawa Beach Park
Halawa Beach Park is really made up of two different swimming beaches. They are Kawili and Kamalaea. Kamalaea is the more pleasant of the two with a curving beach covered in white sand that slopes into the ocean. Kawili is a bit rockier and more exposed. Picnics, swimming, sunbathing are all welcome at this beach park.
Hale O Lono Beach Molokai HawaiiHale O Lono Beach
If you head south in Molokai you’ll find Hale O Lono Beach which is a very popular beach for fishermen. The beach is not very big but is long and narrow with a rocky seafloor. As a result it’s not the greatest for swimming or snorkeling. One thing to watch out for if you happen to be there in the winter is the sight of humpback whales breaching.
Kakahaia Beach Park Molokai HawaiiKakahaia Beach Park
This 42 acre beach is huge and a popular site for setting up a picnic or birdwatching. Like the previous beach mentioned, this beach has a rocky seafloor which doesn’t make it too great for swimming or snorkeling.
Kaupoa Beach Molokai HawaiiKaupoa Beach
Molokai’s west coast sports Kaupoa Beach which just screams Hawaii. Palm trees sway in the gentle breeze while calm blue waters beckon for you to take a refreshing swim. Snorkeling is also popular at Kaupoa Beach. Mokulele Airlines has flights to Molokai.
Lanai Shipwreck Beach Lanai HawaiiShipwreck Beach
This beach is unsuitable for swimming because of strong currents and rough waters but we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention it. Many come here to comb the sand for shells and treasures that wash up from the water. Molokai can be see rising up from afar. The 8 mile stretch of beach is great for walking and exploring and even fishing. To get to the island of Lanai you can fly with one of the local hawaiian airlines.
How to Determine the Ideal Staff-to-Guest Ratio in Hotel Operations One of the most important decisions in hotel management is determining how many employees are needed to serve guests effectively . Too few employees can lead to long waiting times, poor service, employee burnout, guest complaints and declining reviews. On the other hand, too many employees can significantly increase labour costs and reduce profitability. So, how does a hotel determine the right staff-to-guest ratio? The answer is that there is no single ratio that works for every hotel . The ideal staffing level depends on the type of property, number of rooms, occupancy, service level, facilities, operating hours and guest expectations. The goal is not simply to have more staff. The goal is to have the right number of competent staff, in the right department, at the right time. What Is the Staff-to-Guest Ratio? The staff-to-guest ratio is a measure of the number of employees available to serve a particular numbe...
