Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa for 5 nights and overall had a wonderful experience. The resort is directly on the beach, and while the beachfront itself is fairly narrow with no lounge chairs available, the convenience of having multiple pools right along the edge of the beach made up for it. The beach was clean, beautiful, and relaxing. It was a little rocky, but still had plenty of room to swim. It was also nice to see dolphins on our first day and turtles so upclose. We opted into the breakfast buffet each morning. It was definitely on the pricier side—$40 per person plus tax and automatic gratuity—so close to $100 a day for two people. For the price, the offerings felt more like a standard 2-3 star hotel continental breakfast, though they did vary a few items day-to-day. The highlights were the fresh fruit, the cold brew coffee, and the serene views overlooking the swan pond. Service was consistently warm and friendly, which we appreciated. Would have been nice to have an omelet station or something along those lines. You could also order a’l’carte if you preferred. Our room was updated, clean, and comfortable. We were pleasantly upgraded to a partial ocean view at no extra cost, which was a lovely surprise. If I had one suggestion, it would be to improve the toiletries. The bath products felt very basic and heavy on chemical ingredients, which didn’t match the otherwise elevated feel of the resort. Poolside lounging was a breeze. There were plenty of chairs available throughout the day, no need to wake up at sunrise to claim a spot, and several pools to choose from. Even as non–vacation club guests, we were able to enjoy the vacation club pools, and the adults-only pool was especially relaxing. My biggest wish for the property would be better lunch and late-night dining options. The only lunch option we found was the poolside ordering, which was average and very expensive. The chicken wrap was tiny, and the poke didn’t taste very fresh. Drinks were delicious but definitely pricey at $20+ each (plus tax and tip). There were two little grocery store/shops on the property that sold snacks and grab and go items, which were fairly priced, but nothing to write home about. Additionally, the property seemed to close down pretty early, so it would be nice to have at least one spot open later for snacks or drinks. We did not try any of the other restaurants on the property. That said, the resort’s location was fantastic—walkable to plenty of shops, restaurants, and activities. Despite a few drawbacks, we were very happy with our stay and would absolutely return. The grounds, service, and beachfront setting make it a great option for a relaxing Maui vacation.

We had a great time at the Hyatt (Oct 22-27, 2025). We were up-graded to a Mountain View room. Rooms are refurbished and well-appointed. Definitely big enough for a couple with no issues, plus a nice private balcony. We were welcomed with complimentary Champagne and Leis. The entire resort is top notch. We did not go to the pool but it wasn't overly crowded. The beach directly behind the resort is pretty narrow due to beach erosion but still plenty of sand area to hang out, nap, have a drink, etc. If you are looking to snorkel, you can do so right at the resort. We saw turtles, fish, stingray and starfish. You can rent the gear right there for around $25/day but they were flexible on return times, so we really got almost 2 full days for the price of 1. All of the resorts are connected by a boardwalk that runs behind them all. This is a very cool feature which allows you to walk to Whalers Village (shopping, food, ice cream, souvenirs, etc) or all the way down to Black Rock Beach. This is a public beach but it has PLENTY of beach area to spread out. This is also a great spot to snorkel as it was a little clearer than behind the Hyatt. It is busy with people jumping off the rocks (DO IT, IT'S NOT THAT HIGH!!), snorkeling, swimming, etc. We ate at 'Umalu one night for dinner--it was great. Try the Fish N Chips. We did do the Luau. It was fun but very pricey. We caved and did the 90 minute Time Share tour in order to get the Luau free--definitely worth it. We also ate at Leilani's on the Beach which is down the boardwalk--also very good. Tried some local places and a few food trucks. Lahaina is still recovering but there is plenty to see and do around town. There are 2 golf courses right on property--we did not play but the course looked in great shape and is very convenient.

My partner, sister and I all stayed here for a 5-day vacation. We experienced a lot of what the property had to offer: - Buffet breakfast at the Swan every morning: we had this included in our package and it was amazing! I'm not sure if it would be worth the price tag if it was not included. - Dinner at Japengo twice: We ordered a few things from here and they were all good. The Ginger dessert, clams, hamachi, specials, sushi were great! - Drink at the cafe: got the seasonal matcha 10/10 - Did the Tour of the Stars activity: SO AMAZING! It is dependent on the weather, but the tour guide clearly loves astronomy and made it so fun! We got to see Saturn!!!! - Enjoyed the Friday marketplace: A lot of the stereotypical stuff, but there was once born and raised local artist we got a few pieces of art from and they're stunning. - Had a drink at the bar near the pool: Strong drinks!!! Delicious!! - Got dessert at the restaurant next to the pool: The brownie dessert we got was HUGE. Two of us couldn't finish it. Delicious! - Used the gym, the adult pool: The gym is surprisingly stocked, clean, and has everything you need for a solid workout. The pool outside the lobby is amazing! We swam almost every day when we were done snorkeling. - Walked around the grounds to see the swans, penguins, and cranes: 10/10 Our entire experience at this resort was amazing. The rooms were comfortable and had all the necessary amenities (minus a microwave). The location of the resort is great! We went to the Whalers Village for henna tattoos and shopping. We went snorkeling at the Black rock area which we could walk to. We did the Road to Hana and the staff gave some insanely helpful tips/tricks. We went to the activities desk to get some assistance with bookings and they know EVERYTHING. This resort was exactly what we were looking for and had an amazing

From the time we declined Valet Parking we were on our own. Luggage left on the side walk. I checked in expecting my luggage to be delivered to my room. Nope still on the sidewalk where we left it after we took it out of our car. I collected it while I was watched by staff. We then had a mud map to our room and lugging our 2 suitcases and carry on luggage we went to find it, getting instructions on the way. Breakfast average, all pre prepared. Nothing cooked for you. Paper cups in our room. Nothing is more sustainable than washing and reusing a China cup or glassware. Really takeaway wastage. USD$25 charge each towel for not being returned by 11.59pm. We were no informed and grabbed 2 for our early morning swim. Guests ducking and diving for afternoon shade with plenty of unbooked, unused cabana’s covered over and vacant. I don’t expect to be pampered but I really did not feel service or hospitality.

Island vibe and setting felt secluded yet shops and activities close enough within walking distance to make for a great time
