10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! Although the restaurant on the resort is under construction!"

Fairmont Kea Lani Maui

Fairmont Kea Lani Maui

8/10 Good

"We had a nice time and the hotel was nice. It’s definitely fairly lively with kiddos. The adult pool is close to a main restaurant so not a lot of true quiet time anywhere on property. Rooms are spacious, clean and nice verandas. All the restaurants were tasty. The kids slide for those coming with families is definitely a hit. Overall we enjoyed our time but would have liked a few more adult/quiet pool options for reading and relaxing."

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Maui Bay Villas

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Maui Bay Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Hilton Grand Vacations in Kihei is a beautiful new property steps away from the beach. We greatly enjoyed our room, which had a high-tech kitchen, washer/dryer, large flat screen TVs, lanai with ocean view, and a rainwater shower head. The property has 3 hot tubs and multiple pools, including an adults-only pool with refreshing waterfalls, and a fun-for-everyone waterslide. The bar onsite is great for a pina colada and has live music a couple nights a week. Guests can walk across the street at a crosswalk to access the beach, a hot tub, another pool, and the restaurant/bar, which serves delicious food and beverages (highly suggest the potstickers, chicken wings, burgers, and old fashioned). The staff was helpful and courteous. We would definitely stay here again."
