Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa

This resort is amazing! It has such beautiful grounds with penguins, parrots, swans, and ducks! Pickleball, good food, and many fun pools, especially for kids! Whale watching right from the hotel!

A stunning atmosphere with delicious food & restaurant choices. Everything was spot on for our 3 night stay. Highly recommend the Luau!! Couldn't complain about anything except how large the resort is, and it is a lot of walking from one end to the other at our age (over 70). Ocean front rooms guarantee whale sightings!

Great atmosphere, service, rooms were updated (recommend upgrading to a suite). Views were amazing. Food was mostly great! Albeit expensive, but you know that going into it. We were seriously happy with our stay! so many fun things for the kiddos to do. And enough things for adults to do too.

This is our fourth time staying at this property, located in the northern resort corridor in Maui. Upon arrival this time, the power to the entire corridor was out due to the county shutting it off because of high winds. They apparently still have not buried the power lines, even after the Lahaina tragedy. The staff did their best to accommodate, Karen at the front desk was amazing, but it was still a huge inconvenience. All shops were closed, you couldn’t get towels due to the machines that distribute not having towels, and the AC was out in all rooms. Luckily, the power came back on before nightfall, avoiding avoiding turning this into a trip ruining inconvenience. Aside from that, the hotel was once again excellent. The oceanfront rooms are beyond compare. The club level breakfast and snacks throughout the day are an amazing perk. The pool is situated so you can lounge and watch the whales breech in the ocean. We ate at the steakhouse this time and while pricey, it was delicious. I would highly recommend this property if you are staying on Maui.

Overall, my family and I were very happy with this hotel. We usually stay at the Westin or the Sheraton on Kaanapali Beach, but the Westin recently stopped honoring lounge access for Titanium members. Since Marriott’s terms clearly state that lounge access is included, we won’t be returning there. In contrast, the Hyatt did honor lounge access for Globalist members, which we were able to enjoy during our stay. Breakfast in the lounge was excellent, with eggs, fresh fruit, pastries, and daily options like pancakes or French toast. The evening happy hour offerings changed each day and included items like meatballs, coconut shrimp, orange chicken with rice, and empanadas with mac and cheese. While some of the food seemed like it may have been sourced from Costco, it was still substantial, kid-friendly, and worked well as a light dinner. Beer and wine were around $5–6, and mixed drinks were about $8. Our room was very clean, spacious, and well laid out. The bathroom had a bathtub rather than a walk-in shower, which felt a bit dated. We were upgraded to a beautiful ocean-view room in the center building, and the view was truly amazing. The penguins in the lobby were a fun touch, and the birds throughout the property added to the atmosphere. The pool area was another highlight. The pools were warm (especially compared to the Sheraton’s unheated pool), and the water slide was fantastic. The jacuzzi was nice as well, though it could have been slightly hotter. One downside is that the pool area is now split into two sections due to the expansion of the sushi restaurant. One important note: be sure to return your pool towels to the towel dispensing machines before evening. We were unexpectedly charged $275 after bringing the towels back to our room one night instead of returning them right away. This policy was not clearly explained at check-in. Apparently, each towel has a tracking chip and is logged when removed and again when returned. The fee felt excessive and unnecessary, especially given the lack of clear communication. The biggest drawback of the property is the beach. It is very narrow—only about 10 feet wide between the water and the hotel grounds—so we had to walk a bit to find a better spot for swimming and relaxing. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would definitely return.
