Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

Honestly this is a pretty decent hotel to stay in. It has a great location and it’s pretty quiet. The pool is never busy when we went. Late June. It was a little expensive but definitely worth the extra money. We’re staying on the big Island now, wishing that we could go back to Maui and stay at this hotel. Plus close the beach and not too overpriced as far as hotel food. It has a perfect snorkel spot right in the front of the hotel. It’s like a hidden jem!

The view and property is awesome, but unfortunately there was ALOT of construction going on. Loud noises all throughout the day. The last day I was there, there was construction two doors down from me. The manager didn’t respond to my calls or messages, and the hotel didn’t bother to let me know that there would be construction on the property, let alone inside my building. Again, calls and messages weren’t returned, for this much money, stay at another hotel along the beach there, there are a few options that also had beautiful views and beautiful property, and had no noise.

Even though the hotel is under going a major renovation, I would stay here again without hesitation. You won’t find a hotel closer to the water with a better view. The newly renovated rooms are very nice and the staff more than makes up for the construction chaos. The manager, Brian Supanich, is over the top nice and did everything to make our stay pleasant. He is top notch and really takes care of his guests. The staff, especially Mark, Summer and Paige, really took extra special care to provide exceptional service! I would stay here over any of the hotels I’ve visited including the overpriced and over rated Grand Wailea and the over crowded Westin Kaanapali.

No early check in here. I flew Hawaiian Air they only have a 7:00 am flight out of Sacramento.
So I’m about 3:00 hours into waiting for my room.
They do have a hospitality suite with luggage lockers and a shower. I’m here on business so won’t use most of the amenities. The property is nice but I’m going 3 stars for now.

I’ve stayed at a number of different Marriotts, several in Hawaii. While this is an older hotel, it does have it’s charm. The staff is very friendly and the infinity pool is beautiful. Very relaxing to sit there and gaze at the ocean.
Unfortunately, they are undergoing major renovations. So, I have been listening to drills and jack hammers since checking in. Wish I could attach video so I could give an indication of the noise level. But, just imagine swaying palm trees, ocean breezes and jack hammers. That is the sound level here. And, it goes on all day.
Our room looks directly out on the construction. Others have it way worse as their rooms are directly under the construction. So, if they ever finish building this place, it will be one lovely resort. Looking forward to coming back one day when it is actually finished and quieter than a war zone.

Closest legitimate Starbucks to all of the resorts! Grounds were pretty messy and very unkempt, but it looked like they were doing some construction.

This is a long but comprehensive review. ⁵⁄₅ stars for 5 reasons. The Marriott Wailea Resort has a lot to offer its guests and for my family is the best choice to stay at in Maui and here is why.
1. Location. We have stayed all over Maui, at the Ritz on the north end, on the west side in Ka’anapali, in Kihei and in Wailea. We absolutly love Wailea because all the resorts are spread out and quiet. If you want crazy busy with lots of tourists and sales people asking you about timeshares, then Ka’anapali is the place for you. Of you want ultra quiet and secluded, the Ritz is perfect because there is nothing near you. But Wailea is perfect because you have 5+ large resorts, The Grand Wailea, the Four Seasons, the Fairmont, and the Andaz, as well as the Marriott Wailea. The location of the Marriott is perfect, close to the shops and restaurants, and has a beach on either side of the property you can easy access. Now some don’t like that they do not have a beach immediately outside the property but I don’t mind this at all. It keeps the ocean views clear of people and the beaches are a 60 – 120 second walk away. Not a issue at all.
2. Price. No Resort on Maui is truly cheap, however this property is roughly $ 100 less per night then neighboring Grand Wailea and Hyatt Andaz hotels. This likely has to do with those being right on a beach and the Marriott has black rocky cliffs in front but again, all beaches in Hawaii are public and you can access them so easily so for me, not an issue. I would dock a star for all the stupid hidden fees Marriott charges like $ 30 resort fee, and $ 25 parking fee but most of the hotels in Hawaii charge these fees so I can’t fault Marriott for doing the same as all the others. I just wish I didn’t have to pay $ 55 a day on top of my $ 350 a night room.
3. Pool area. The two infinity pools, one adult and one family friendly, plus a 3^rd pool and 2 hot tubs make getting a a seat near a pool with a ocean view easy to do. They are currently undergoing a remodel of a 4^th pool which is a kids pool that will feature the largest water slide in Maui. Should be finished by end of 2016. I love this because my kids are small right now but we eventually plan to return with the kids and this influences our decision on where to stay. We love they have both adult only pools and kid friendly pools. Nobody likes it when their own kids disrupt adults just wanting a quiet spot at the pool. Now, I do have to complain a little, they have a number of private cabanas at each pool and charge $ 250 a day!!! To rent them. This seems a bit crazy and more fees to stay here but at least I can choose to not rent one.
4. Tons to do. They offer free scuba, kayak and paddle board rentals, snorkeling, and beach chairs rentals. They also can help you with golf if you want to try one of the many nearby golf clubs. You can also walk/​run the 3 mile Wailea path to each of the many area resorts and explore. Not to mention the Shops at Wailea are directly behind the Marriott which has tons of restaurants and shopping. This property is the closest to these shops so it almost feels like they are a part of the Marriott. Great access and great food.
5. Newly renovated rooms. I had a chance to get a sleek peek at these new rooms, currently 40% of the property ros are u Der renovation and these rooms will be fantastic. Upgraded audiovisual, lots of outlets which is a must these days with all the gadgets we travel with. Granite counter tops in the bath, new beds and excellent décor which all was in need of updating. This property will be a real gem in Wailea by the end of 2016, even more so then it is now.
To management: if I had one suggestion, it would be to offer more perks to your Marriott Gold and Platinum members. I really did not get the sense that Gold Marriott members got anything extra while staying with you. I think that is a missed opportunity. With the resort and parking fees, I would love to see something extra like free breakfast, or free Blu-​ray rentals, or free/​discounted parking, etc.

This is the best priced resort in wailea. It’s a great deal. Maybe be not the best accommodations but loved staying here for the price. Our room and the service here are great. There’s remodeling and subpar service at the hapa restaurant but still you have to look at the prices compared to the surrounding properties. It’s suited our needs. Don’t expect for seasons accommodations for the price and you’ll be very happy. Beautiful property and views. Love the room and staff. A stones through away from the wailea mall with restaurants and shopping.

We had a wedding welcome party for 70 that was put together at the last minute by Tina Cunningham. It could not have been more perfect. Very upscale and perfectly appointed… reasonable as well. Perfect location on lawn at waters edge and she could not have been more accommodating! Thank you so much Tina!

Beautiful place but I have to lower the rating due to construction. They are renovating and have a couple of beautiful infinity pools. It looks like they are also upgrading some rooms. Unfortunately, we were placed right next to the construction zone. Noisy during the day and our water was turned off — thankfully, we were notified and made arrangements but it impacted our plans for the day.
I would still recommend but you may want to ask to be placed away from the construction especially if you are paying a premium to have an ocean view.

Came here with my family for a wedding. Found the resort to be a great combo for families with kids and those without kids. But let’s be honest, if the kids are happy… EVERYONE is happy! Our room was right by the pool, with an AWESOME ocean view. The beds were very comfy and the grounds were great to walk around. We are super happy with our stay and would definitely come here again.

Marriott continues to impress me with the high level of customer service and attention to the personal details. I have been a Marriott rewards member for almost 20 years and have enjoyed many advantages.
We used points for this stay and it was perfect from our checking in to picking up the car as we departed. The property is wonderful and easy to navigate.
We will be back in the ear future. Thanks again Marriott!

Gotta say this Marriott Resort is not what I hoped for. Rooms very marginal. Tile floors, no upgrades no luxury. Sorry I wasted 80,000 points on this location. Pool had no bar! One open restaurant, it just was so very very disappointing in every possible way. We love the Marriott brand and felt so at home at the Marriott Ocean Villas. This was by far the complete opposite of any Marriott we have stayed at. This is just lacking any vibe. Really blah!!!

My family and I stayed at the Marriott resort for 3 nights in Maui and we had such a lovely time! We got to the hotel on a Tuesday night and left Friday afternoon. Upon checking in Tuesday night, we were all given leis and coupons for free Mai tais (for non drinkers, they also double as coupons for coffees at the Starbucks on the resort grounds).
The resort and beaches here are well maintained and are absolutely beautiful. Our room was on the ground floor with an amazing full ocean view. You don’t need to look far for that perfect sunset!
The ambiance is definitely laid back and very chill. You’ll find plenty of people going for a run, paddle boarding, kayaking, or just laying on the beach (or the infinity pool!) I have to say, the best snorkeling I’ve experienced in Hawaii was in Hanauma Bay in Oahu, but the shores off the Marriott were also great! The ocean is teeming with beautiful fish and sea turtles! There’s always something to do.
All in all, what made our stay so wonderful was the service we received from all the staff members. Everybody, from the pool boys, to the gardeners, to the front desk always greeted us with a big smile. My sister and I had passed some gardeners who were working, and they handed us a beautiful bouquet that they had made with the flowers they had cleared off earlier. We were so touched. Thank you, Marriott, for providing such a wonderful stay!
Here are some general tips to save extra $$, though:
1. Breakfast buffet here is delicious (much better than the one at the hilton resort we stayed at while in Kona), but very expensive. It might be worth to save that $ 30/​person and drive out into the town to get a cheaper meal or to head to the starbucks on site.
2. Buy your snorkeling gear at Costco. MUCH cheaper than the hourly rate Marriott charges! And no time limit :) (if you can, definitely rent the paddle boards/​kayaks! You get to see the beautiful coastline from the water!!)

There were lots of things I liked about this place:
*adult-​only infinity pool — you can either swim or just hang out at the edge and watch the whales play in the ocean
*gym was clean, well equipped, open 24 hours, had bottled water and snack-​sized apples
*rooms were spacious, had nice amenities, plenty of towel hooks, a lanai for eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner, plenty of closet and drawer space
*offered free scuba lesson, teacher very friendly
*local snorkeling had amazing sea life: many turtles, eels, fish
*free welcome mai tai was well balanced and strong
*trail along beach
*daily yoga classes
*pool play area for kiddies
*numerous settings for photographic opportunities
*nice staff
Things I didn’t like:
*my room was located near the ice machine which was quite noisy
*my room was located near the housekeeping closet which was quite noisy when the staff would talk with each other first thing in the morning + stone floor makes it even noisier
*my bed’s springs were VERY squeaky
*housekeeping did not replace the in-​room complimentary tea
*no elevator in the garage meant that you schlepp your gear up and down stairs
*hotel layout was confusing

My husband and I stayed here in November 2015. I will preface this review with the fact that this is our third time staying at this hotel in the past 3 years. Everyone who we came across here had the best Aloha spirit.
We were able to quickly check in and the gentleman helping us was very nice, he had heard that we had run into some major issues during our travels and was able to offer us some help, we did not know how far his kindness had expanded till we checked out, I believe his name was Reid and he was amazing.
We had a room in Hale 4 on the 4^th floor so we walked out directly on to the grass in front of the adult only infinity pool. Our room was well kept, clean, and always made up everyday. Being on the ground floor and being in a tropical climate we did encounter a critter or two, but nothing I would not expect given the circumstances. One thing that would be nice would be to have mats on the front and back door so grass and dirt do not get traipsed all over the room.
I love the location of this hotel because of its central location. You have the ability to easily walk to the shops of Wailea and access to the beautiful Wailea beach walk path. We were here during the renovation of the main pool area. We did not notice any increase in crowds but we were bummed about not having access to a hot tub (yes there is one in the kids area but it was always to packed to use.)
We loved having the chance to really enjoy ourselves and relax at the infinity pool, most afternoons we would just camp out here. There was one waitress at the pool (who has been there at least 3 years) who is great always upbeat and having a great time and another one who was unfortunately a bit of a wet rag and a little snippy.
The one down side is that now the hotel fee and the parking fee are separate, but that seems to be what all the major resorts are doing now. Just make sure to factor these expenses into your stay.
That being said every employee we come across at this location was wonderful. They all seem to work hard to do anything they can to make sure all guests have a great time. I can honestly say that this will not be our last visit here, we look forward to our next experience at the Marriott Wailea.

Arrived at 3:30 PM on a Wednesday and was told that I would be given a call when our room was ready. We decided to go grab a bite to eat and less than 30 minutes later, I got a call saying that the room was ready. We head back to the hotel and were given our room keys but no lei greeting (That’s the reason for the missing fifth star).
The views at this hotel are breathtaking, and the sunsets at the infinity pool are one of a kind. All of the employees we encountered were friendly, especially a blonde lady who works by the infinity pool. It was a bit confusing trying to figure out how to get to the pool but we figured it out, eventually. The towel key is a pain in the behind because you’re allowed to stay past the time the attendant leaves but then they’re not there to give you the key back (they’ll charge you at checkout if you do not return it). The only downside was the freeeezinngggggg water at the pool (November).
The fitness center is open ²⁴⁄₇ and included in the resort fee. Going in at 5 AM there was quite the number of people in there but everything was clean and they have apples and water available for that post workout nourishment.
My favorite part of this hotel was its proximity to the Shops at Wailea! It is a 5 minute walk from the lobby and you can dine at restaurants, window shop or get any toiletries you forgot to pack at Whaler’s. This will save you on parking since your car will either be valet or self park in the garage next door. The stores are high end but it is a nice window shopping experience for those nights you don’t wish to go out.
They also sell Maui Gold pineapples– $ 20 for 3. They either deliver it to your room or you can pick it up at the front desk. When I was leaving Maui and saw they were $ 27 at the airport, I was surprised. They are even more expensive to ship online, so if you’re planning on taking home pineapples I would definitely order them from here and have them delivered to my room!

I am sooooo upset. I am a religious marriott patron. Decided to come to maui for the wkend. Found wailea marriott on
, booked it for $ 250 a night not including the resort fee of $ 30.
We get here and she gives me a room near the renovation site, which by the way was never disclosed to me b4 booking online. She also informs me the room is quite a walk, so she advised we use bell hop for assistance for our 2 carry ons??? Anyway, it was a ridiculous walk to the room. Its 7pm and there are no lights on the walkway. I almost broke my ass walking there!!! Had to use my cellphone for light while carrying all my stuff.
We get to the room, open the door and the room is a mess! We thought someone was still staying in there!!! We used the room phone to call the front desk and they need to research what happened. The bed is messy, trash everywhere, dirty towels and the ppl left the screen door open so there were bugs and moths everywhere!!!
I am appauled at the marriott hotel! This is horrible. I am disgusted and furious. By 10pm, i switched rooms twice. The second room had no internet or wifi connection due to the renovations and the phone line was completely dead. Mind you, I missed the pool… bc it closed at 10pm.
The third room they put me in, in the tower… had big flying roaches and large beetles!!! Im just disgusted with this hotel.

I stayed at this hotel while attending a friends wedding here. The place is absolutely gorgeous! The grounds are exceptional. The property is nearby two beaches and another resort.
They have a beautiful infinity pool, a few restaurants and a friendly staff. We were able to learn about excursions in the area or paddle board in the ocean.
My only issue is that the place was undergoing a massive renovation. While they did their best to close off that area, the construction was loud. I’m sure the remodel will be very nice.
I would definitely stay here again.

So, we stayed at this resort from Sunday until Thursday. I bought a package that I thought was all inclusive, it wasn’t. We paid $ 25 a day to park a rental car even though we were guests.
Checking in went really well. We were greeted by the valet who helped with our bags and told us about parking. I checked us in to the reception area and received a lovely «aloha.» We were able to check in by noon our first day, maybe earlier, and head to our room. It was ocean view, which was true, but also a view of the lobby area and roof… the ocean was in the distance. We changed, grabbed our 2 drink tickets (1 per adult) and headed to the serenity pool.
The pool was amazing and even had a waitress serving the guests there. The view was unbelievable and of course we were able to grab towels and talk to the concierge for any tours we were interested in. The drinks and food at the resort were pretty pricey. The restaurant for breakfast was expensive too. Our room was clean and nice and the cleaning lady was on point!
Upon checking out we were greeted with a receipt detailing the rest of the expenses we owed. There is a $ 30 resort fee daily along with the parking!
All in all, it was gorgeous and fun to leave reality behind… but I feel that we will be paying for this for a few months!

Hawaii ist so oder so ein Traum, ok man merkt gerade an dem Essen das sehr amerikanisiert ist, aber man kann auf Maui in diesem Hotel sehr gut entspannen. Beim Schnorcheln direkt an dem Strand kann man die wunderschönen Fische und Seaturtles sehen.
Direkt vor der Küste liegt auch Molokini, eine halbmondförmige Insel mit einem traumhaften Schnorchelgebiet. Um dort hinzukommen einfach in den Ort zum Maui Diveshop fahren und den Ausflug dort hin Buchen.
Das Hotel hat schöné Pools und Zimmer direkt am Wasser.
