The distance between a hotel in Kahului and a hotel at the beginning of Kihei is relatively the same. I do not suggest booking a hotel in Lahaina. Should you choose to book in Wailea, it is a little farther. Be sure to research the road so you are not taking South Kihei Road. This could make your drive from the venue to your hotel longer.
