VIP Service w/ Matthew @ the Montage Kapalua Bay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

The alluring tranquil ambience left me feeling fully rejuvenated! I enjoyed an amazing meal at the Cane &Canoe restaurant, where I experienced 5 star service from a kind and attentive server named Matthew. His blend of wit, humor and expertise profoundly shaped my experience. The staff on all fronts of the Montage hotel were warm and accommodating! Thank you!

Beautiful property, underwhelming service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Beautiful property, underwhelming service Montage Kapalua Bay is undeniably beautiful. The location is breathtaking, the rooms are spacious and luxurious, and the beach and pool areas are world-class. On aesthetics and facilities alone, it checks every box for a five-star resort. But where it truly falls short — and quite noticeably — is in the level of service. When you choose Montage, especially at this price point, you expect the caliber of hospitality you’d find at a Four Seasons. Unfortunately, that expectation was not met. Throughout our stay, we experienced several service missteps that left us feeling like just another room number rather than valued guests. One recurring issue was that the service felt transactional — as though staff were primarily motivated by tips, rather than a genuine desire to create a memorable guest experience. True five-star hospitality begins with consistent, proactive care; tips should follow naturally, not be the driver of attentiveness. This reflects a deeper problem: a lack of unified service culture. Leadership needs to establish and enforce high standards across the board — not leave it to a few individuals to carry the weight. A few specific examples: • Poolside Service: One afternoon around 5 PM, I asked for a towel for a lounge chair. The staff member told me they were completely out. Moments later, I spotted a large stack of towels nearby and had to help myself. There was no follow-up or attempt to assist — which felt dismissive. • Valet Service: The valet experience was inconsistent. Some team members were warm, courteous, and helpful with luggage. Others simply retrieved the car without any greeting or assistance. In a luxury setting, that lack of consistency is jarring. • Room Service & Phone Response: One evening, we attempted to order room service — and tried calling multiple times over 90 minutes with no answer. Eventually, we contacted the valet and asked them to reach a manager. Only then did we receive a callback. Whether this was a staffing or technical issue, it’s something that must be urgently addressed at a property aspiring to five-star status. One bright spot during our stay was at the Cane & Canoe lounge. On Friday, June 27, we were served by someone who truly embodied the spirit of hospitality — warm, attentive, and sincere. He didn’t feel like someone working for a tip — he felt like someone who genuinely cared about giving guests a great experience. If his approach could be reflected across the staff, this resort would truly be world-class. In summary: If you’re coming for the views, the accommodations, and the resort grounds alone — you’ll be very impressed. But if you value consistent, high-level service as part of your luxury stay, you may be left disappointed. In our experience, alternatives like the Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton Maui, or Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island have delivered stronger, more reliable service. Montage Kapalua Bay has the potential to be something great — but leadership must focus on building a cohesive service culture that matches the beauty of the setting.

A Truly Impressive Stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

A delightful stay, overflowing with privacy and luxury. This is hands down the best option on this part of the island. Our family travels frequently, and it's rare for a hotel to truly impress us—until now. Posting reviews isn't usually our thing, but the satisfaction we experienced here absolutely deserves an honorable mention.

Upset with pool staff

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

I have been to this resort now 3 times. The first 2 times were amazing and couldn’t have been any better of an experience all around ) (2016 & 2019). My family and I came back in 2025 and we were surprised that the pool staff were so unfriendly. It really does change your experience. They seemed rude and annoyed everyday we were there - especially the woman who works at the pool bar near the adult pool.
