Hotel Wailea

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Wailea for a week, and loved our experience there. It will be the hotel that we compare all other hotels to going forward. It's hard to know where to start. The property is a lush oasis of serenity, where the only noises we heard during our stay were those of the many different birds in the surrounding trees. You are a little bit away from the ocean here, but still get amazing views from the rooms and restaurants. Being an adult only resort is a huge bonus for couples wanting to escape for a nice relaxing vacation. They think of every guest need, with things like electric bikes, complimentary concierge (or self parking is also available), sunscreen pump station at the pool, a general number you can text anytime you need anything sent to the room, and so much more. There are two restaurants on property (The Birdcage and The Restaurant) They were both amazing. We had a dinner at each, and breakfast at the restaurant each morning. Some standouts at breakfast were the coconut chia pudding in a half papaya, and the crab eggs benny. The fresh ahi options at dinner were so good, and the service was never less than excellent. The best part was they took care of my wife's dietary needs without any issue. My wife has celiac disease and is very allergic to gluten. She had tons of safe gluten free options for every meal, and loved every bite she had. We tried out a couple of restaurants at the bigger resorts in the area, and each time we came back at night to the Hotel Wailea, we took a deep breathe, and remarked how glad we were to have booked there. Really hoping we are lucky enough to return in the future!

Hotel Wailea is the perfect choice for a quieter, romantic getaway. Our room was spacious, service was excellent throughout our stay and the amenities (pool, on site dining, transportation assistance and beauty of the property) were outstanding. We will return.

We chose Hotel Wailea primarily because of their no kids policy which is totally worth it. We willingly paid a premium for the Celebration Suite since we were- in fact- celebrating our anniversary. The view was breathtaking and the suite was great. We loved going to hang out at the pool in our downtime.

This place is top tier in every way. I stayed here for my first solo trip and it truly was special and flawless. It was exactly the relaxation that I needed after a week at an intense work conference. From the incredible hospitality to the 24/7 concierge service, I felt extremely well taken care of throughout my stay. Anytime I didn’t want to walk somewhere, I could simply call/ WhatsApp or text and an employee would pick me up. While I prefer to be close to the beach, it honestly was so nice here that you do not even notice it. When I decided to go to the beach, I was driven there and they even provided towels and a beach chair. An employee also picked me up when I was done with sunset- highly recommend making this trip! I visited Polo Beach which was the closest option and it was absolutely beautiful. The best sunset views and very good vibes. The food was delicious. I looked forward to breakfast every morning and the pancakes are a must! They are so tasty you don’t even need syrup. The breakfast views were incredible and I’m grateful to my Amex FHR benefits for the daily complimentary breakfast. The Birdcage restaurant was my favorite and it’s fabulous and like the name states it is full of birds. The bird sounds do get loud but the views are so worth it! The salmon and skewers I ordered were amazing and spending sunset at the restaurant with those incredible views was truly special. I took SO many pictures! The photos don’t do it justice but I tried my best to capture the magic. I felt completely relaxed and loved my stay here. The attention to detail was evident everywhere from the luxurious beauty and body products ( which smelled amazing!) to the incredible bathtub and high tech Toto toilets (which reminded me of Japan) to the most comfortable bedding and couch to stunning balcony views. I traveled to another city and hotel after this stay and could not stop thinking about Hotel Wailea. You spoiled me and I can’t wait to return to Maui and to this property in paradise!

I was changing here from the Aston Mahana as given the mixed reviews I was fearful to spend all my Maui-stay there. I wished I had not changed. The Wailea is not bad. But for 5 times the price I would like to see at least some advantages. Which I could not. Its remote location far from the sea is obviously not granting real sea views and involves quite some logistics before you can find a nice dinner (off-site) or do any sea-activities. That I knew. But what made me unhappy was the rather humid smell in the suite, roaches in the bathroom and limited steering of the ac as well as a lounge which seems nice only 3 minutes until the first bird poos on you.
