The hotel

Set on 15 acres of oceanfront, Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort is perfect for the sophisticated island traveller. Blending Andaz style with the feel of a luxury community, guest rooms are nothing less than sublime, furnished with modern touches such as private lanais and garden view showers. Just steps from Mokapu Beach, there are water sports galore. Feeling hot and bothered? There's a choice of sparkling pools to cool off in, or relax on the sun deck with a good book and something tropical from the poolside bar. The spa is worth a special mention; it includes 10 treatment rooms with the couples rooms featuring a private rain shower and floor-to-ceiling ocean views. Treat yourself to a day pass and take advantage of the sauna, seam room and heated plunge pool – you’ll come away without a care in the world! Dining is another treat – Morimoto Maui utilises locally sourced, season-fresh ingredients to blend Western and Japanese traditions. Meanwhile, Ka’ana Kitchen serves up some of Maui’s best family-style dishes whilst Bumbye Beach Bar is perfect for lunch by the pool.

Definitely not a 5 star service. Check-in was not good. I dont normally have to wait in line and stand to check in.

Definitely not a 5 star service. Check-in was not good. I dont normally have to wait in line and stand to check in. Normally at this price point, I expect to sit and relax and the hotel come to me with drink and treats to do the check in process. The front desk forgot to give me towels and didnt explain much about what they offered. Not that I wanted a towel but if you offer it to guests, you have to do it for everyone. They cant seem to do the most basic, standard process right! Some employees are not friendly. You dont really see them greet you with a smile, it is more like they have to be there and serve you because they have to do it for a living but not because they want to be there! I didn't pay to stay with cash, but if you do, look somewhere else. Breakfast is good but it is pretty much the same everyday. I got it free for globalist, but not worth $49 + tax if you have to pay cash. Overall, I dont recommend it if you have to spend over $1k a night for it. The service is subpar Read less

Extremely disappointing for a luxury cost: delays, unresponsive, disruptive alarms, overcharges, and ZERO communication. Not the relaxing, special family trip we expected. Still no response to my msg only sent me this survey requests

I am writing this review to express my disappointment regarding a slip-and-fall incident I experienced at Ka’ana Kitchen at Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort on November 24, 2024. Despite my attempts to address this matter with the restaurant's management, their handling of the situation has been deeply unsatisfactory, leaving me with no choice but to escalate my concerns to you. While bringing food to my table, I slipped on a wet floor caused by spilled pineapple. The fall was not only painful but also deeply embarrassing. I sustained significant bruising to my elbows, buttocks, and tailbone. Additionally, my cell phone, which was in my back pocket, was damaged, resulting in a cracked screen and cover. When I was initially seated, I noticed that the floor under the table and chairs was wet and slippery, likely due to spilled water or juice. I immediately brought this to the server’s attention. However, no action was taken to address the hazards. After my fall, the server assured me that a manager would come to speak with me to address the incident, but no one approached me. Although a medical staff member provided ice for my bruises, I was too embarrassed to discuss the full extent of my injuries, particularly to my tailbone, in a public setting. The staff member took my contact information and assured me someone would follow up with me. Nine days later, I had still received no communication. When I finally contacted the restaurant, they declined responsibility for the damage to my phone, citing a delay in reporting, despite their failure to follow up as promised. I find the restaurant’s position inconsistent and unacceptable for several reasons: 1. Failure to Follow Up: The restaurant’s management promised to contact me, yet failed to do so for nine days. This delay contradicts their assurance and places an unreasonable burden on me to initiate communication while recovering from injuries. 2. Focus on Recovery: Following the fall, my priority was my physical well-being, not inspecting my phone. I was in pain and shock and relied on the promised follow-up to address related concerns, including property damage. 3. Guest Care vs. Procedural Priorities: Declining responsibility for property damage based on procedural grounds, while neglecting the duty of care to follow up with a guest injured on their premises, undermines trust and guest satisfaction. I expect better from a Hyatt establishment. The combination of unsafe conditions, inadequate response at the time of the incident, and subsequent dismissal of my concerns is deeply disappointing.

The hotel is clean and the people that work there are nice. But, we had a terrible pool experience. If you are interested in using the pools, I would recommend avoiding Andaz. People “claim” chairs by leaving one or two objects on the chairs and leave for hours at a time. Unfortunately, there are not very many poolside chairs available for use in the first place. The staff is not very helpful at removing the objects and making the chairs available to others. It is an absolute nightmare. Read less
