The hotel

This recently renovated hotel sits directly on a wide stretch of beach in the quiet, pretty resort of Wailea and is ideal for both families and couples. Kids will get a kick out of their own pool with its two water slides, while adults can kick back and sunbathe by their own pool, or relax in the hot tub. There's a Mandara Spa with a range of pampering treatments, or you can explore the surrounding countryside on foot along several hiking and nature trails. Enjoy a new signature restaurant for all-day dining, including a wonderful breakfast buffet and an informal poolside restaurant featuring nightly Hawaiian entertainment. The hotel is within easy walking distance of The Shops at Wailea - an upscale shopping mall. There are three golf courses nearby and countless activities like horse riding, scuba-diving and sailing, which means you'll never be short of things to do.

Wailea Beach Resort is hands down one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve ever had. We booked two connecting rooms expecting the luxury and relaxation they boast about in their pictures. Reality? The rooms were tiny, dark, and reeked of a musty, nauseating odor so bad we had to spray everything down constantly just to breathe. It felt more like a run-down motel than a luxury resort. The rooms look nothing like the pictures — it’s a complete bait-and-switch. Don’t fall for the marketing; it’s all a scam. You’re paying for oceanfront glamour and getting a cramped, smelly mess. The cherry on top? The front desk staff. Rude, dismissive, and totally unhelpful. Leslie Labao, in particular, was shockingly unprofessional. She has no business working in hospitality, let alone representing management. Condescending attitude, zero empathy, and clearly irritated any time we asked for help. If that’s their idea of “Aloha spirit,” I’d hate to see what bad service looks like. For the price you’re paying, there are a dozen better places to stay in Maui. This resort has no business calling itself luxury. Don’t waste your money — go somewhere that actually cares about its guests and doesn’t reek of mildew and mediocrity. Read less

We stayed at the Wailea Beach resort from May 16th - May 23rd. Upon arrival the front desk was kind and welcoming with POG juice and Leis. We were given a room in Halle 7 with a walk out patio.

We stayed at the Wailea Beach resort from May 16th - May 23rd. Upon arrival the front desk was kind and welcoming with POG juice and Leis. We were given a room in Halle 7 with a walk out patio. We requested and paid for this room. When we arrived I'd hope that things would "look better when the sun came up". However that was not the case. I have never spent this much on a room resembling a a roadside inn. The bathroom was a disgrace and I didn't even want to shower. mold everywhere and the toilet had to be re-caulked while we were there as it was leaking from the bottom constantly. The room was in desperate need of an upgrade. Which I believe the hotel was planning but did not expect to wake up to jack hammers and intense construction equipment ever day. It was a disgrace to charge 1200 for a room and have it be a nightmare. I did speak with management but outside of a discount for one night and a late check out they really did not have much to offer. If you are expecting top notch elegance, stay somewhere else. Also, they charge for housekeeping service. We asked to have our room cleaned once during stay but our bill had charges on it for house keeping almost daily. I pray they did not charge me to fix their leaking toilet. Some shadiness around the beach chairs as well. You should get one daily with the resort fee but they try and get money from you. They have daily exercise but can be hit or miss. Some great , but not all. One of the exercise instructors actually just stopped the class to call security to report a person walking thru the grass on the public access way. So our 45 minutes was really just 15 minutes of her fighting with someone. Very embarrassing to have that representing your brand. Positives: Ukelele lessons The spa pool - but comes with a price Sunsets Bottom line, the location is fantastic. However for the same price as out room we could have enjoyed much better hotels next door. Read less

A Beautiful Stay at the Marriott Wailea Beach Resort This hotel is absolutely gorgeous—from the rooms to the views, pools, and everything in between. The property is stunning, and every detail feels thoughtfully designed. Our room was very clean, clearly updated, and incredibly comfortable. The beds were especially noteworthy—so cozy and supportive, which can sometimes be hit-or-miss at other hotels. The staff was wonderful and accommodating in every interaction. They were friendly, professional, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. One area for improvement would be the hours of the on-site restaurants and bars. Most options seemed to close earlier than expected, leaving room service as the only late-night option. That said, the food and drinks were both delicious and well-prepared. Another concern was the parking situation. I wish parking were either included in the resort fee or at least offered at a lower rate. It feels a bit unfair, especially since there aren’t many alternative transportation options in the area. Additionally, the parking spaces themselves were extremely tight—it was almost impossible to comfortably get in or out of the car once parked. Pricing overall was on the higher end. While I understand that’s to be expected in Maui, some costs felt a bit steeper than anticipated. Still, despite a few minor drawbacks, I would absolutely return to this resort and wouldn’t hesitate to bring family or friends for an even longer stay. It was a wonderful experience, and I’m already looking forward to the next visit! Read less

Just home for a great stay here! It was a quick trip for us but we were upgraded to a garden view suite. The room was huge. Had a half bath plus full bath, separate living room and two balconies. There was also a partial view of the ocean! The room was clean, could use a little bit of updating but overall great. For being titanium elite, we received a few fun perks. One being daily chocolate from the front desk. We would go pick it up and there is a different flavor each day. I found this to be a fun little added touch! You can also select breakfast credit which can be used at either coffee place. We always did Starbucks, you get a coffee, pastry and fruit for 2 and we upgraded to a hot sandwich a couple days. Very nice for a quick option on our way to the beach. All the staff we met was great and helpful. Danny at the beach was particularly awesome! This resort is big, so there is a lot of walking but being so spread out it never felt crowded. We could always get a chair on the beach and usually there were plenty of chairs at the pool in the afternoon. We only went to the adult pool, it is wonderful and quiet. Overall, we loved this resort and we will be back!! Read less
