10 Top-Rated Resorts in Maui, Hawaii

April 19, 2023 Leonarda Pillsbury

The Hawaiian island of Maui is a destination for true nature lovers. The ethereal bamboo forest and churning waterfalls in Haleakala National Park can be explored via the Waimoku Falls Trail. Stretch out on warm, golden sands or hit the surf for an unforgettable windsurfing or snorkeling session. Driving the scenic road to Hana along the island’s northeastern shore will be among the most spectacular journeys of your life. Time stands still at the Hawaiian village of Keanae, definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful Hotel

Reviewed By 226kristinan

Overall a really great hotel in Maui. Location - a little far from the main airport & they don’t offer a shuttle (~50 minutes). It’s right on the beach & located right next to the mall. So there are plenty of restaurants & shops nearby making the location ideal. Rooms - our room was clean & updated. The view from our room was beautiful. Bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. Lanai Access - so worth the extra money. We booked our room in their new tower which automatically gave us access to this lounge. They had complimentary breakfast and happy hour bites. I didn’t have high hopes but it turned out to be delicious. The adult only pool is also nice & quiet. Lots of great place to sit in the shade to enjoy a drink at the private bar. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful time on our honeymoon. The Hyatt is a great location and was very clean. Room was beautiful and modern. Food was all good - my husband was obsessed with the Korean Style wings. I loved the hummus and goat cheese. Drinks were delicious - maybe a little weak at times, but make it a double! Why not?

Fabulous small resort

Reviewed By Amy T

Fabulous! Absolutely fabulous! We stayed on the club floor which meant even better service. Room 815 had a wonderful view of the water, West Maui and the immaculate courtyard. We are not huge resort fans so the size was perfect for us. Easy access to the beach. Open air Lobby lounge area has nice atmosphere at night. Live music. it's the Four Seasons. Pricey but totally worth it.

I signed up on a whim for our family of 5, which includes a 5yo, 3yo, and 2yo. I was hoping for one decent picture and ended up with around 40! Our photographer, Will, was very accomadating and professional. Pictures were available for viewing the next day and there was zero pressure to purchase. We will definitely use Blinnk again!

The only area for improvement that we had was we thought it is ridiculous when paying to eat in restaurant for refills on sodas when they charge that much in first place. Sofa was a little dated but loved the view and room as a hole

The resort is in an impeccable state, modern and very clean. The staff is very welcoming and professional. Restaurants are very good. However, in retrospect I still doubt if it was worth the very steep price.

disappointing stay

Reviewed By luxurytraveller1970

having stayed with the Kea Lani on many occasions over the past decade or so, this particular stay lacked in every area. The service was way below par on average with the exception of one server at breakfast, Venus, and our housekeeper Irene. I have quite frankly had better stays at a Marriott in downtown anywhere than this five star property. The breakfast was way overpriced considering very ittle variety snd the same items every day of our stay. The renovation did not affect us except for one day lounging on the grass there was a lot of skill saw action. Our stay was uninspired to say the least and I will likely not be back and will go over to the Four Seasons or Andaz.

The poolside cafe features island cuisine accompanied by an expansive wine list.

Memorable Maui

Reviewed By 421anthonyw

Stayed here on a holiday with my wife for 4 nights. Rooms are a decent size although our room #150 was a little walk away from the main resort area. The room itself was well equipped with microwave , large fridge / freezer & crockery. A negative for us was that the room was not cleaned or serviced once during our 4 night stay while they still charged a resort fee. Location is fantastic for a beach holiday with amazing sunsets at no extra cost. The resort has two pools and hot tubs on site and has free car parking too. All in all it was a nice place to stay at a reasonable price.
