We used marriott points for part of our stay and paid for the last night. The nice thing was, we got upgraded for our points stay but they let us keep our room for the extra night we paid for and did not make us switch. The hotel was very clean and when we complained because the tub didn't look like it had been cleaned when we checked in, they sent someone to clean it immediately. Our first room was Ocean Front but had a blocked view so they gave us a much better one (Ask for Ocean Front by the Adult Pool--that is the best view). They had an adult only pool which is great and it's slightly heated so you can even use it at night. There is a really nice walk path too. They have complimentary water by the pool as well. Our only complaint is the adult pool gets full fast so if you want a nice covered lounge chair, claim your spot early in the morning. The gym is also very nice at this hotel. We had the room service and it was good. They make you pay for parking but if you find a rate on the marriott website, you might get a "resort pass" which waives the parking charge and gets you two free drinks at the pool bar.

We stayed in the Marriott May 30 - June 4th. We loved our stay here. The room was booked using Marriott points. My husband is Platinum Elite, and we were treated great. The room was a deluxe ocean front room which found us soooo close to the ocean. We were in room 2318. Perfect! Our favorite spot was the adult only Serenity Pool. Pool service was outstanding. We never had difficulty finding a lounge chair. The floating cabanas are $100/day so we decided the lounge chair with the umbrellas (FREE). There is a nice children's pool with slides which looked fun for kids. We never ate at the hotel full service restaurants. Maid service is twice a day. Leave a $1 a day and you'll get a little extra treatment.

The Luau at the Marriott was ok. The drinks were plentiful, but the food is fair. However, the show is good with a champion fire dancer. We paid extra for the premimum seating which was probably not worth it.

Our favorites:

Trail Ride with Mendes Ranch. Excellent with beginners plus the views were incredible. These are real cowboys leading you and not some tourist trap.

Express Snorkle Tour with Kai Kanani that leaves from the Maui Prince. This is a first class operation. Even though it leaves out at 6:30 AM, the water isn't too cold. Someone is in the water with you at all times if you are new at snorkling.

Spa treatments at the Grand Wailea. Don't miss this. Not only do you get a treatment, you get to use the Terme baths with are an experience not to be missed.

Favorite Restaurants:

Cafe O'Lei
Kihei Cafe for Breakfast (have cash)
Tommy Bahamas
Hula Grill

Enjoy! You'll be pleased you chose the Wailea Marriott.

We stayed at the Marriott Wailea May 14-20 and found it to be quiet, relaxing and beautiful. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We self parked which was fine. The concierge made dinner reservations several times for us and we were given great tables. We travel to Maui almost every year and were familiar with the property when it was the
Intercontinental. Marriott has made some wonderful upgrades especially the Infinity Adult Pool. It never seemed crowded around the pool like some hotels. Our room was clean and comfortable and we had a nice ocean view. The breakfast was expensive so we drove down to the Sea Watch Restaurant at the Wailea Golf Club. It has a beautiful view, great food and very reasonable. Longhi's at the Shops of Wailea also had a reasonable breakfast. I would definitely stay there again. Hope the airfare comes back down so we can afford to fly!!

Wonderful facility. Recent refurbishment is superb except for the beds and pillows which were for our comfort marsh mellow soft resulting in little support and aching backs in the morning. Other than this slight issue, the Wailea Marriott boasts a very accommodating staff and a newly constructed adults only pool. Small refrigerators in each room are a plus.

The breakfast buffet is $60 for two and nothing extraordinary. We partook of the buffet only once for obvious reasons.

We would most definitely return to this resort again, the bed/pillows notwithstanding.
