Just came back from our anniversary trip to Maui. This is our first time to Hawaii without the kids and let me tell you, it was SO relaxing. 😅
I redeemed 145,000 Hyatt points for a standard king at Andaz Maui. It’s been a bucket list to check out this resort bc I read it’s more adult focused. However, there were plenty of families there. Being Globalist, we were automatically upgraded to an ocean view suite the morning of arrival, it was very spacious. The extra half bath was very useful! You can also skip housekeeping and receive a daily 1,000 Hyatt points or $15 food and beverage credit. We opted for the points so I received 4,000 Hyatt points refunded to my account after checkout.
We were in room 552, south side of the resort. Our room still had sand on the floor, near the side table, but no big deal. The shower had good pressure BUT it would switch to super cold or super hot during a shower. Not sure if it’s connected with other ppl using water, etc. The design is also a little odd, it’s very wide and the placement of the showerhead makes it feel very tight. The lack of complimentary drinks (2 cans) and snacks were a little disappointing compared to Andaz Seoul. I also wish they had a bidet inside the extra half bath.
Daily breakfast buffet was completely comped, it saved us $121 every morning. Selection was plentiful, I am missing my daily green juice and Maui Gold pineapples. 😢 Nic was our server for the first two mornings and he was very personable. Valet parking was also waived, saved us $40 daily. Even though we always called ahead, we still had to wait a while for our car. Valet guys were very nice and friendly regardless. Resort fees also waived on award redemption, saved us $50 daily. We didn’t participate in any hotel activities, but there are plenty of things to do.
We were surprised to see so many families at the resort. I always thought Andaz was geared towards adults more.. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in the adult only pool during the day. We watched the sunset a couple times in the main infinity pools, it very was lovely. We would definitely return.
