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!

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.

Great welcoming experience for a very steep price

Reviewed By Ronald N

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.

Our new favorite resort on Maui!

Reviewed By Coastal-Travelers

We usually stay in the Ka'anapali area of Maui but we were able to get a great rate with Hilton Honors points and some $ so decided to try the other side of the island. This property was absolutely gorgeous and closer to Maui attractions such as Haleakala and the road to Hana. The beach was just as beautiful as the other side of Maui and the area around the resort seemed quieter. We knew that the resort did not provide areas for self-parking and we expected valet to be expensive but $65 per day seems a bit extreme, especially when the parking garage is on their property and uses their resort staff. You do need a car to truly enjoy Maui so we just accepted the price and can definitely compliment the efficiency and friendliness of their staff. We were upgraded to a Deluxe Ocean View King and greeted with fresh flower leis upon arrival (probably because I told Reservations that it was our 20th anniversary). Our room was beautiful and spotlessly clean with plenty of big, fluffy towels and wonderful bath amenities. This resort still provides daily housekeeping service and it was flawless. We were a bit concerned about the ongoing renovations mentioned in other reviews but it was really not an issue. The main dining room is still closed so if you must have a full buffet breakfast, you might want to wait a few more months. The Cafe Kula (Grab-n-Go) had a great selection of reasonably priced pastries and fruit that we enjoyed on the lanai of our room each morning. The Keurig coffee maker and refrigerator in our room made this very convenient. The Botero Lounge in the lobby had just re-opened the day we arrived and that was the perfect spot for a light Sushi dinner after a day of travel. The staff were all wonderful and it was great fun to sit at the bar and watch the Sushi Chef in action. Some of the wines were a bit overpriced but the sushi was reasonable and delicious. The Spa was also still under construction but they have converted one wing of guest rooms and done a great job to create a spa atmosphere with candles and over-the-top service. My pedicure was one of the best ever and no more expensive than my spa at home. All of the outdoor areas are beautifully maintained and although the resort was busy, there were plenty of pool chairs and spaces on the beach.(although they could use a few more umbrellas for hot afternoons) The adult pool was large and there are so many sections to the action pool that it didn't seem crowded at all. I was surprised that the swim-up bar was located within the action pool (instead of the adult pool) but it so much fun taking the water slide down and ending up in the Grotto with the best bartenders and cocktails on Maui. This was our fifth trip to Maui and the Grand Wailea definitely made this our best vacation ever - a bit of a splurge but worth every penny. We are already saving our Hilton Honors points and marking our calendar to go back as soon as possible.

Unbelievable Experience with Ho'olei - Deluxe Ocean View

Reviewed By MattD4030

I cannot recommend booking with Ho'olei enough. We had four adults (two married couples) and one infant and the experience was fantastic. First off, the Ho'olei team was extremely communicative weeks before our trip even started. We had texts and emails with the concierge regularly As a parent of an infant, the included high chair, crib, and baby proofing of the unit was extremely helpful. It was all set up when we arrived. Additionally, as we had a full kitchen and grill, they have a grocery service that will pick up groceries before you get there. We arrived at 2AM our time (8PM Hawaii time) and all of our groceries were put away in the fridge and on the counter ready for us to use. It was a very nice thing after 14+ hours of travel. Check in was very smooth with clear instructions of how to use the property. We had a Deluxe Ocean View which meant we were in the last row. The views of the ocean were incredible with multiple whale sightings per day. The only downfall of this is that the walk down to the pool or the hotel was a little longer. However, if you do want to go to the hotel, free valet was included in our stay which was a huge bonus. Additionally, when you don't want to drive, there is a daily shuttle service you just text to get picked up that runs until 8PM (however the valets take over after 8PM) Our concierge helped us book 99% of our activities. We also had a reservation as Mama's fish house, which you have to book months in advance. At the last minute we had another guest wanting to join us for dinner and the concierge was able to contact the restaurant and add the additional guest. This was a fantastic trip and if you have any questions I am more than happy to answer it!!

Excellent hospitality and location.

Reviewed By sameteeth

Excellent hospitality and location. Lobby and breakfast dining area were airy and modern. Fun seeing the love birds and sparrows fly around while eating breakfast. The 1 bedroom suite has a good layout for a family of 5. Sofa bed could be improved - a lot of screeching and you can feel the coils. Pool was great for kids with a nice view and plenty of chairs. Ulua beach, 5 mins away, was perfect for snorkeling and family fun at the beach. Room was upgraded as a platinum member. Great stay!

Great, Quiet Getaway

Reviewed By kyleonthemove

This is an absolutely stunning hotel just a short walk from the beach with a gorgeous pool. We loved how quiet the hotel was, and our room right off the pool absolutely made our stay. The views were incredible. But, this review is to recognize the staff at this property. Everyone we met was beyond helpful and friendly. Jonell always had a smile on his face and was very accommodating at check in. Kiani was a superstar and provided exceptional service. We looked forward to seeing her at breakfast every morning and we could not stop talking about how kind she was. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and I cannot express how much it meant to us traveling all the way from New York City. As a fellow Marriott employee, I can confidently say that her level of service is unmatched. Thank you for such a memorable trip! We hope to make it back again someday :)
