Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort

8/10 Good
"It’s a great resort . The only disappointment was a couple things were closed like the game room , Tarzan swing . And the water elevator is no longer in operation. But the staff was great . The pools are great . The aesthetic is great . Food is wildly expensive at any of the restaurants related to the resorts so better off grabbing food at a local spot"

Mana Kai Maui- Official Onsite Rental

Mana Kai Maui- Official Onsite Rental

10/10 Excellent
"Property is located on the best beach in Maui, with a walkable beach towards Wailea. Has the best grass area to watch the sunset with lawn chairs available for use. We stayed in the standard hotel room which was clean but small. Noise level was loud for the room because they are located by the walkways. We were bummed to find out the restaurant was being renovated at the time of our stay so we weren’t able to utilize all amenities. The 808 general store is extremely convenient and has the best staff working at all times. We will definitely be back when The Beach House restaurant opens and will most definitely pay extra for a balcony room! If you are unsure about this hotel, my advice… book it, you won’t be disappointed with the best beach and beautiful views!"

"Would recommend as a cheaper place to stay when visiting Maui, rooms are clean and have everything you need, not luxurious though, but good if your looking for cheaper rather than luxury, nice location with beach to the rear, they could do with lighting the fire lamps to rear as a lot of people go sit out in the evening and it’s dark, had to use our phone torch for light, have to use Ubers or hire a car to go to restaurants etc although there not to far away, just not within walking distance"

"I booked this for my son and daughter in-laws honeymoon. They had a great time and loved this resort. While it was on the reservation and I called the day before to tell them the couple was on their honeymoon, it was only recognized as they were settling up their fees at the end of the visit. The breakfast buffet was reportedly superb. They were able to rent a jeep very easily at the nearby Avis and enjoyed touring the island."
