Quoted from blownfuse:

We stayed at the Whaler in Kaanapoli, my uncle had a time share there. There used to be a bowling alley on the windward side of the island that had 5 old pinballs but that was a very long time ago and I don't even know if the bowling alley is still there. I remember it being a place that you wouldn't want to go to after dark if you don't live there.

Quoted from kpg:

If staying in Maui, stay in Kaanapali. Best weather, right by Lahaina and Kapalua, and plenty of things to see and do- and you can drive to the more 'boring" spots in Maui like Wailea, Paia, Kihei, etc.
If staying there I suggest renting a condo from VRBO.com, or AirBNB. For resorts, the better ones in Kaanapali will be the Westin, Sheraton, and Hyatt. Also, Kapalua is right next door and they have the Ritz-Carlton which is an amazing property, but it is windier and can be cloudier over in Kapalua (but its beautiful and more green though)
For pinball, I would think somewhere in Lahaina is your best bet- the hotels in Kaanapali have some arcades I'm sure.

Quoted from pinmister:

One of my favorite things to eat on the island is the ono buger at Paia Fish Market-you have to try it. Some cool things to do near where you are staying is the bamboo forest hike which is a public hike and awesome. Also if you can find someone in the know there is a hike called commando hike where you wade through waste deep water in pitch black lava tubes climbing waterfalls in the dark only to emerge at the top of the lush forest. To get back down you jump off 60 foot waterfall. It was the coolest hike I have ever been on.
