Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui

The view and beach is amazing. The food is almost close to terrible. The prices are high, and the service is sometimes polite and sometimes severely lacking. The pool people are great. The front staff don’t greet you. The food is really, kinda surprisingly bad. See photo. It’s getting close to you don’t even want to eat. Think, a diner at a truck stop at 2 am serving you grilled ahi. My $$$$Caesar salad was whole lettuce leaves in a bowl with cheese on the top and soft slices of bread as the croutons. Dressing served on the side and tasted like it had been in the fridge for weeks. One glass of wine and a soda came at the end of our dinner. Half the Staff seems depressed and some kinda angry. Phone buttons don’t work. App doesn’t work half the time. But there’s the beach, so the place is packed. It’s corporate vacationing and it’s clear everyone doesn’t care. Our 12 hour laundry took 3 days and we had to beg for it back. Staff seems underpaid, undervalued, and annoyed. Kinda crazy to see the positive reviews here. But the beach, wow!

This was our 8th time to Hawaii and our 6th time at the Marriott. It never disappoints. We had a little confusion on the room but the Manager Frank came through for us in a big way. The room was absolutely spectacular, with a deck that was steps away from the ocean, lounge chairs and a table and chairs where we ate breakfast every day, listening to the waves break and dolphins swim. All of the staff were outstanding, especially the bellmen and house keepers. The pools are spectacular, and they even added another one at the spa. The adult poo is awesome, as is the kids pool and the other 2 everybody pools. New pizza place, pretty good and convenient, free chocolates each day, from a local business and the car that will take you to other locations in the area, we used it for dinners. We didn’t think we would return but had an opportunity, so we went and all is as beautiful as it was before. If you go to Wailea you must stay here, it is the only hotel that is so close to the ocean because it was built before new zoning rules came into effect. A perfect paradise to relax, rejuvenate and get into the Aloha spirit. Hope to return one more time…..

Wailea Beach Resort is the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and aloha spirit. The property is absolutely stunning — from oceanfront pools to lush tropical landscaping, every view feels like a postcard. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel special and welcomed. Rooms are modern, clean, and super comfortable with incredible ocean views. The infinity pool and cabanas are unbeatable, and the sunset walks along the beach are magical. Everything here feels peaceful and perfectly Maui. Highly recommend!

this is a premier location in Wailea and the Resort will not disappoint you. The views from property are super premium ocean views; the services at resort are well above average. We have stayed here +10 times and now it is clearly my wife's most favorite Maui Resort. Repeat visits planned for Dec 2025 and Feb 2027. One area that sets this resort aside----are the guest services. Front Desk, Pool Deck, restaurants: excellent at every turn.

Beautiful resort on the water, infinity pool and restaurants. Amazing grounds and walking paths. Top-notch service, manager Adrian Morales was fantastic!
