Top Palauea Beach Hotel Reviews

Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything was great. Wish there were more pool chairs and more closer bathrooms in pool areas"

Fairmont Kea Lani Maui

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot express how amazing this place was - we had 3 children with us and we can’t wait to go back!"

Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful Beaches & Spectacular Sunsets Come enjoy Maui's most Exclusive Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This property definitely earns it's high reviews! It is large, beautifully decorated, and the view is spectacular. All kinds of chairs, noodles and snorkeling gear are available. We appreciated the access to laundry in the unit. Elizabeth was an EXCELLENT communicator, and kindly checked in with us during our stay as my sister arrived with a broken leg from an accident she incurred a couple of days earlier during an excursion. There were coffee and chocolates on the counter for us when we arrived. The grounds of the complex are beautiful, and he pools are great. The office staff are very helpful. We would definitely consider staying there again.Just a side note - even though the unit is listed as "not accessible", I would point out that renters need to climb quite a few stairs to get up to it. Luckily, my sister was able to get up because there were railings on both sides, and the step height is not great. There are also 2 steps down to get to the main living area from the entrance area, which presented a challenge for her. Overall, one of the best places we've ever stayed. Highly recommend!"

Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort - a concept by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. We booked 2 weeks but ended up leaving a couple days early because of the potential hurricane threat. Staff was amazing!! Everyone was so very friendly! Loved the walking path to other hotels, shops, restaurants! Rooms were nice, loved the coffee, chips, cookies, cute reusable bag provided. Wished it had another mirror somewhere to get ready while another was showering and wished there was more space for clothes. Though again we were there for 2 weeks so had a lot. They had full sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, ironing board and cloths steamer, nice hair dryer and robes. Small reusable water bottles with ice and water available on each floor. Food by the pool was good. We rented a car for part of our stay, so super close to Kīhei for food, other beaches, shops but $60/day to park and had to use valet. Pools were beautiful! Reef safe sunscreen 30 & 50 were provided at every pool. We were a little disappointed that 2 pools were being worked on and we didn’t know it beforehand. Very noisy at one pool M-F for hours. And limited shady spots, and if windy, shade umbrellas had to come down. You could purchase cabanas in the shade for an extra $250 I believe but many sat empty at all pools. Beach was rough after the storm (can’t be helped because of weather) but no one was working on steps, path to get down to the beach. Other hotels were on it days after it happened… just something to be prepared, aware of. We were able to snorkel."
