Andaz Hyatt hotel in Wailea gets my vote for best resort in Maui, even after having tried the Ritz and Four Seasons!

THE CHECK-IN

One will be welcomed with a lei and a wondrous looking entrance way before entering the lobby which at it end feature a lookout of the scenery that you’ll never get bored of for the rest of your stay: the amazing resort featuring cascades of infinity pools, the green lawns, parasols and the beaches.

AMENITIES

In addition to this amazing sight, we also loved many things about this resort including the beachside amenities and complimentary rentals that really made the resort fee not as bad, series of infinity pools, cleanly maintained amenities and the modern, sleek and thoughtful architecture layout. I also really liked having the poolside bar with live music that stayed late as well as the in-house marketplace that was open 24hours.

ROOMS

The rooms also had the bit of the Ace Hotel thing going with the more hip and urban styled interior and decor and the interesting layout and the style of the bathroom was quite memorable. Also a plus one for the amazingly viewed garden view rooms (definitely not the most high end) and the free cold drinks and chips and cookies in-room. I also appreciated small details like having a dental kit in the bathroom. Thoughtful!

FOOD & SERVICE

I’d say the negative aspects were probably what a lot of people have echoed, the poolside servers being MIA and not as readily available as maybe at resorts like Four Seasons. Also the main restaurant where we had the breakfast buffet was nothing extraordinary and probably not worth its hefty price at $50+ a person.

LOOK & FEEL

Also being relatively young, I appreciated the casualness of the hotel where I felt like I could walk around in my swimsuit and not be judged and just how new and up-to-date this whole place felt.

All in all, a lovely stay! Want to come back and try the oceanfront villas with friends or family!!
