The hotel

This recently renovated hotel sits directly on a wide stretch of beach in the quiet, pretty resort of Wailea and is ideal for both families and couples. Kids will get a kick out of their own pool with its two water slides, while adults can kick back and sunbathe by their own pool, or relax in the hot tub. There's a Mandara Spa with a range of pampering treatments, or you can explore the surrounding countryside on foot along several hiking and nature trails. Enjoy a new signature restaurant for all-day dining, including a wonderful breakfast buffet and an informal poolside restaurant featuring nightly Hawaiian entertainment. The hotel is within easy walking distance of The Shops at Wailea - an upscale shopping mall. There are three golf courses nearby and countless activities like horse riding, scuba-diving and sailing, which means you'll never be short of things to do.

Great hotel, something for everybody. This is a large property so that can be the only downside, it takes some time to get around the property and it’s easy to get lost. Only other downside is the pool side food costs are ridiculous, $32 for a burger

This is an outstanding, premier property in Maui. Uber from airport to hotel, avoid parking fees. Everything is within walking distance. Property is well maintained; associates deliver exceptional customer experience and peace and tranquility await at every turn.

Overall we loved this hotel and would definitely return. We were a multigenerational group ages 70 - 2 and all had a great time. Pros: 1- Really nice grounds and common spaces. The green space near the lobby is kid heaven and we enjoyed eating breakfast and drinking coffee there in the morning as the kids played and made friends. 2- Excellent pools and easy access to Wailea beach which is a fun beach for kids to swim and play in sand. The water slides are really fun for all ages. 3- We experiences nothing but great customer service and thought the staff was all wonderful. 4- You really can't beat the Wailea area. The walking trail that runs along the shoreline is great for morning walks/runs. 5- The sunsets from the adult infinity pool are pretty epic. 6- Great to have a full service Starbucks on site Cons 1- You can tell they renovated an old property and while a lot of the property is really beautiful and updated, some still looks old and dingy. We had a room on a bottom floor with a nice sundeck and great view but the hallway to get to our room felt like a 1960s dungeon. 2- The pool temp of the kids pool needs to be a little warmer. We were at the Hyatt for the other half of our vacation and it had much better water temp in the pools. Even though the weather was great (82 every day), our little ones often had blue lips and were shivering in the kids pool. Read less

Pros: Resort surroundings are beautiful, most resort staff very helpful and provided good customer service. Cons: The most cringeworthy customer service was when we were enjoying breakfast by the grassy lawn area ( where they apparently have yoga classes, we didn’t know, there were no signs or areas blocked off), the Marriott yoga instructor walked up to us and said “ We will be setting up here for our yoga class so we ask that anyone not part of the class, leave.” Zero customer service from this Marriott yoga instructor.

We stayed at the Wailea Beach Resort for our babymoon, and it was everything we’d hoped for. Having spent a lot of time on Maui in the past exploring the island, this trip was all about relaxation. This resort nailed it with its incredible service, stunning property, and overall vibe. Service and Atmosphere The service here is truly top-notch. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive, even while dealing with some truly difficult guests (we saw one woman being so rude to the front desk—it was painful). The property itself is gorgeous, with perfectly manicured landscaping, spectacular views from every corner, and a vibe that’s straight out of White Lotus. And as it turns out, there’s a reason for that—season one was actually filmed at a resort just down the road in Wailea! No wonder it felt so spot-on. I even re-watched season one on the plane ride home, and it made me appreciate our stay even more. Room and Amenities We stayed in a king room in Hale 4 with a garden-view lanai. While the ocean view was just a peek through the trees, the real treat was being able to walk directly out to the pool from our back door. That convenience made every morning and afternoon seamless. The room itself was well-appointed, and the Nespresso machine was such a nice touch—I used it every morning. Relaxation and Activities This resort is all about unwinding. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean is absolutely magical, especially at sunset—catching it feels priceless. The water slides were a blast (don’t skip them, even as an adult), and the complimentary morning yoga was such a relaxing way to start the day. For dining, we took advantage of the resort’s free shuttle to nearby restaurants like Monkeypod Kitchen. It was super convenient, and we loved walking back to the resort after dinner. Dining and Budget-Friendly Tips We ate at both on-site restaurants, and while the food was excellent, the prices are what you’d expect at a luxury resort. Cocktails at the pool were $24 each, which adds up quickly, but we balanced it by mixing drinks in our room. We also stocked up on groceries—yogurt, fruit, and snacks—for breakfasts and lunches, which helped us avoid eating out every meal. For dining out, we recommend Lineage in Kīhei for amazing food with a local vibe. Getting Around Because we planned to stay mostly at the resort, we skipped renting a car, which saved us the $45/day parking fee. Instead, we used the Maui bus ($2 per ride or $4 for a day pass—cash only) and a few Ubers. It worked perfectly for this trip, but if you’re planning to explore the island in-depth, a car would definitely be more convenient. Final Thoughts Yes, the Wailea Beach Resort is expensive, but it’s worth it for the service, stunning property, and those unbeatable views. If you’re looking to splurge on a special occasion, this is the place. Watching the sunset from the infinity pool, enjoying the incredible vibes, and relaxing in such a beautiful setting made this one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever had. If you’re even considering staying here—just book it. Read less
