I spent a couple of nights at the tranquil Mauian hotel on Northwestern Maui's popular Napili Beach. Although it's a long drive to Haleakala or Hana from Napili, the location is excellent for snorkeling, eating, relaxing, and catching the sunset. The most spectacular snorkeling is up the road at Honolua Bay (in fair weather only — after rains, it is murky for at least a day).
