Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa

Hyatt Regency Maui was a dream for our family vacation. Everything was top notch. We even swam with turtle right outside of the hotel. I love how close everything is. I felt like we were close to the action without feeling crowded or stressed. The hotel is very family friendly and made our children feel so welcome. We enjoyed the cultural activities, pools, beach, and food so much.

I used to love this hotel because of the cave pool and water falls. They have closed that down and covered that entire side of the pool with a tall, large white flagstone wall. Some call it unsightly and I don’t disagree. The flow and feel of the area feels off now and it’s no longer as near as nice of pool as before. We won’t be returning since that was the main reason we chose this hotel. We didn’t know about the changes until we arrived since the pics online still show the old setup. We would not have booked here if we had known it changed. The vibe seems all off with the big white wall.

We had a great stay at the Hyatt Regency in Maui. The staff were all wonderful, the location was great, the pools were great (and we did not have to deal with the early morning rush of people reserving lounge chairs - there were always a few open). The only drawback, and it's such a nit, is that the beach in front of the hotel (specifically the amount of sandy real estate) is not that big so you're not able to sit on a chair or really lay on the beach directly in front of the hotel...but you can go either left or right and find space. FWIW, we are already looking at availability for next year so we can come back!

All aspects of the resort was great! Only thing we missed was the swim up bar shown in photos that was removed from the resort. I looked forward to that. The hot tubs were a little difficult to find but we're nice. The concierge service was wonderful. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet everyday and glad they changed some items daily. I was also able to order an egg turned over easy from the kitchen.

Do not have breakfast at Swan Cove! It's no better than what you get at a miserable 2-star business hotel where the staff do not give a damn what they serve and the quality of the food is absolutely minimum standard. Save your money and eat somewhere else. Otherwise, the hotel is good, clean and well maintained.
