Maui County will begin replacing fixtures in restrooms at Polo, Wailea and Ulua beaches.    The work should begin sometime in August and may cause some closures.  Be sure to check for exact dates and times as the project grows near.

Manoli’s restaurant has been undergoing a remodel and anticipates beginning expansion to the kitchen area this fall.  The bar area has been remodeled and new seating added.

Also underway are plans for changes to accommodate the return of the Old Blue Clubhouse.  With hopes of opening next year, the work is scheduled to begin later this year.
