The name is derived from the Latin aprilis, either from the Latin word aperire which means "to open", probably referring to the "opening of the light in the days, and of the life of the leaves, and of the voices of the birds, and of the hearts of men", or from the Etruscan name Apru for Aphrodite.

April was originally the second month of the Roman calendar and had 29 days. Julius Caesar's calendar reform in 45 BCE resulted in April having 30 days and becoming the fourth month, as the year now began in January.

Comments from our gurests: Thank you for providing such a lovely stay in Maui. I have been to the island several times, and our stay at the Royal Mauian, Tomoko, was the absolutely best by far! Ive stayed in resorts in Kaanapali (Hyatt, Westin, and The Whaler), in Kapalua (The Ritz Carlton), and other condos in Kihei. But your condo combines the best of both worlds luxurious views, the sounds of the ocean, soft green grass underfoot, easy access to wonderful restaurants and shops all this and the ease and comfort of having our own little apartment (your condo) in a most beautiful setting. We felt right at home in your home and your hospitality was four-star! Even though we spent 11 days there in May, were already planning a return trip for four weeks in November. Were so excited to return, and so soon, to your island paradise and your condo rental that felt like home to us from the start! Mahalo Michelle Tomoko, Hi. I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time staying in your condo. The views are amazing and with the beaches so close it was ideal for our family. My parents and brother stayed in a condo unit on the 6th floor in the same building but we were very happy to be on the first floor and able to go in and out at our leisure. As I'm sure that you've heard from other visitors we fell in love with Maui and hope to return in the not to distant future. Thanks again, Celeste
