Fairmont Kea Lani Maui

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing, evening room service was excellent surprise"

Grand Wailea Maui, A Waldorf Astoria Resort

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment I stepped into the property, I was immediately captivated by the beauty and elegance of this resort. Even the best photos I’ve taken can’t quite capture the true essence of this relaxing place! The place is exceptionally clean; the housekeeper cleaned my room even twice a day without ever interrupting me while I was in the room—I have no idea how they manage that! Everyone, from the receptionist to all the other staff members, was smiling. The 8th-floor lounge was something I didn’t expect; there was practically something to eat and drink for free (included in the room) from 6 AM to 7 PM! I could have had healthy and unhealthy meals or snacks, whatever I liked! The pools with ocean right there, swim-up bar, 24 hour store on site in addition to multiple restaurants in the resort, even a simple walk around the 4-acre area filled with flowers, trees, and a waterfall, were safe and so relaxing at night! There was a water machine for free all over the resort. That was my first perfect experience in Hawaii. I wish I could go back there soon!"
