MUCH more land, variety etc.
FAR LESS people
MUCH more space
can't help with places to stay though, just thought I would throw out the idea. It's BY FAR my favorite

Having lived in Hawaii for 15 years I have to second the Big island Suggestion. Maui is like, well, Southern California. Sorry. It sure ain't Hawaii by Hawaii standards. Maui was a great place about 15 years ago, but since they pulled out the sugar cane and pineapples fields, it's just one big condo with overpriced resorts. I wouldn't waste my time or money on Maui. The spiritual magic is just gone.
Check out the Kealoa Beach Resort in Kailua Kona. I've returned there no less than 5 times since I've left the islands. Great prices on packages (free night, upgrades, breakfast brunch) via Pleasant Hawaiian.
