  Menehune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Polynesian mythology, the Menehune are similar to elves or fairies.
Since the term Menehune is also used to describe the original settlers of Hawai'i while Manahune is used to describe the original settlers of Tahiti, scholars have theorized that the legendary Menehune might be based on the historical Marquesans, the first seafaring Polynesians.
The most likely theory, however, is that the legends of the Menehune are a post-European contact mythology created by adaption of the term manahune (which by the time of the settling of the Hawai'ian Islands had acquired a meaning of "lowly people") to European legends of brownies (Luomala 1951).

 Kihei: Menehune Shores - Deals and Reviews - Okay, not great. - TripAdvisor
One travel book advised against the Menehune Shores because of the seaweed smell; we were there in the "height" of seaweed time, and didn't notice it.
We had read a review of the Menehune Shores in Frommer's and liked the idea that every unit here has a great vista of the amazing views of West Maui and the neighbor island of Lanai, and that the property itself is located right on the water, a rarity in Kihei.
Menehune Shores is right on the water, quiet and safe, and the views are better than any hotel we have stayed in on Maui (yes, including hotels in Kaanapali, Kapalua, and Wailea).
