The hype
Families worship the pool area and beach access, but many feel the 'nickel-and-diming' (fees for everything) stings at this price point.
Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa, A Waldorf Astoria Resort
$600-1100/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want the ultimate Disney-in-Hawaii mega-resort experience where the kids never get bored and you don't mind paying a premium for it.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- The pool complex is legendary—nine pools, slides, and a lazy river that eats up entire days
- Prime location on Wailea Beach, one of the best swimming spots in Maui
- The newly renovated Kilolani Spa is a massive, $50M+ wellness playground
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A spectacular, wallet-draining factory of fun that feels more like a high-end theme park than a tranquil island escape.
Αξιολόγηση από @ChantalFlores6441345: I took the family to Grand Wailea for Mother's Day and it was unforgettable. The grounds are lush, the lagoon view from our room was peaceful, and the open-air lobby is just massive. Definitely a splurge, but seeing the kids happy on Wailea Beach was worth it.
Ο Επισκέπτης που Έμεινε Εδώ Είπε
Reality check
Service can be impersonal and slow due to the sheer size of the property, and standard rooms in older wings feel tired compared to the lobby's grandeur.
- You are traveling with energetic kids who need constant entertainment
- You love a bustling, high-energy resort atmosphere with people watching
- You have Hilton Honors status to burn points or get food credits
Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent. Daily service is thorough, though some guests report missed spots in older rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are spacious and clean, but grout and fixtures in non-renovated rooms can show age (water spots, wear).
- Maintenance: The grounds are manicured to perfection. However, pool features (slides, elevator) suffer from frequent mechanical downtime.
- Linens & towels: High quality, crisp linens. Pool towels can be hard to find late in the day.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers and ocean breeze. No widespread reports of musty/moldy smells in rooms.

Δαίμονας Δωματίου
Κορυφαίες επιλογές
- Napua Tower: The 'hotel within a hotel' with private lounge, breakfast, and dedicated concierge—worth the splurge for service.
- Chapel Wing: Ground floor rooms here are quieter and offer quick grass-to-beach access.
Δωμάτια που πρέπει να αποφύγετε
- Haleakala Wing: Furthest from the beach, often with obstructed views and long walks to amenities.
- Rooms directly facing the Activity Pool if you want to nap during the day.
Δαίμονας Δωματίου – αντιγραφή & επικόλληση
“I would appreciate a room in the Chapel Wing, ideally ground floor for direct garden access. Please avoid the Haleakala Wing or any connecting rooms if possible.”
Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Is the water elevator working?
It's hit or miss. Recent reports say it's often closed or only runs for a short window (e.g., 11 AM - 1 PM). Don't book solely for this.
How much is parking?
Valet only, approximately $65-75 per night plus tax. There is no self-parking on site.
Is it all-inclusive?
No. You will pay for every meal, drink, and many activities. Breakfast buffet is ~$60/person.
Can I walk to other restaurants?
Yes, the Wailea Beach Path connects you to the Four Seasons, Andaz, and The Shops at Wailea (10-15 min walk) for more dining options.
Is there an adults-only pool?
Yes, the Hibiscus Pool is for adults (18+), but it can still get crowded and isn't completely silent.
What is the pet policy?
Pet-friendly for dogs up to 50 lbs with a non-refundable fee of ~$200 per night.
Εσωτερικές Συμβουλές
- ✨
Walk to the 'Island Gourmet Markets' at The Shops at Wailea for reasonably priced breakfast, coffee, and poke bowls instead of the hotel buffet.
- ✨
The beach path run in the morning is spectacular—go before 7 AM to beat the heat and see the turtles.
- ✨
You can rent a casabella (covered chair) on the grass for cheaper than the pool deck cabanas, and it's often quieter.
5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The 'ocean view' in some standard rooms is actually a 'sliver of blue between two buildings' view.
💡You have to wear a wristband to access the pools, and security checks them constantly.
💡The on-site luau is convenient but costs ~$300/adult; many locals prefer the Feast at Mokapu at the Andaz next door for better food.
💡The 'water elevator' uses 16,000 gallons of water per cycle—an engineering marvel that is rarely operational.
💡There is a 'resort tax' on top of the 'resort fee' on top of the 'sales tax'. The final bill is often 20% higher than the listed rate.
