Amazing experience. Our guide (Neve?) shared so much information about his experience growing up nearby and the Hawaiian culture. He taught us songs and we chanted as we paddled. Minimal exertion required. Great value!

The beach here is beautiful. I can't understand the people complaining about it being crowded. The two spots in front of the Four Seasons and Grand Wailea have their beach chairs and umbrellas spaced pretty close together (I'm betting they're only allowed so much space as it's a PUBLIC beach!). There is tons of room to spread out, we were... More

You pay this much to stay in a room there and people are on top of you. Umbrellas squished in side to side. Ocean croded with paddle boarders, snorkelers and boogie boarders. May as well go to Waikiki Beach, nothing luxurious about this overcrowded pretentious beach scene

Place is great but do not expect to stay by the pool. All pool space is taken by private cabamas and unless you rent one it is very difficult to find an area. Again most area is given to the private cabanas. Service at the pool is poor. I am done with Hit on.

Sophie Grace jewelry is custom and hand made. You can find it poolside at the Grand Wailea Resort and Spa. Absolutely the most amazing jewelry on Maui and maybe even the state. The designer hand makes each piece and they are all one-of-a-kind and original. She has new stuff every day. My favorite piece of jewelry is definitely from Sophie... More

Stayed at the Grand Wailea. I'm used to the 4 seasons hotel but this was a better family option. Beach is beautiful. Kids loved the water park. Slides, rope swings, canal, water elevator are lots of fun. Also a tot pool and lots of adult pools. Room service was phenomenal. 30 minutes or less for every meal. Food was incredible.... More
