Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort

Beautiful modern hotel in Wailea. Nice entry and lobby, with expansive views of the grounds. Although rooms are small, they are expertly laid out to take advantage of every inch. But still very small for Maui and you feel cramped. Had an ocean view room which was nice with small but nice deck with decent view. Grounds are beautiful although really dense as the buildings are packed in. There are several pool areas, but again really packed in. Really enjoyed the morning yoga class as it’s done on a nice grassy area next to the ocean.

Our first time to Maui and we were really happy that we chose the Andaz. We walked around and peeked into the other resorts and kept saying that the Andaz was the best! We will be coming back. Our room with a terrace and view of the ocean was quiet, beautiful, the bed was super comfortable, pillows were exceptional, loved the big bathroom and plunge bathtub. I really enjoyed the layout of the room and also the hotel as well. All of the infinity pools were so pretty. And nice and warm and not crowded. Except for the Jacuzzi. I feel like they need another Jacuzzi. It was too crowded to go into at night. I would say the only thing I wasn’t happy with was the fitness room. It wasn’t big enough. It was very crowded and there was no place for someone to put a mat down and do floor exercises so that was my only disappointment. I’m not sure if there was a separate quiet yoga room I could’ve used? Also the breakfast buffet was really good but not extravagantly impressive compared to other hotels we’ve stayed at, but it had pretty much everything I wanted in a breakfast and I did enjoy everything that I had each day. Food was really delicious. Actually now having written that, I do appreciate the less extravagant breakfast buffet as it is better for the environment and most likely avoids unnecessary food waste and I know sustainability is a goal of the Andaz. I very much loved that we were given a water bottle when we checked in and refilled it at stations. That was genius and made me really appreciate the values of the hotel. in Waikiki, the Moana Surfrider gives unlimited Aquafina bottles to each guest and I can’t imagine the waste/expense/damage to the environment flying in probably millions of water bottles and then having to recycle them! So I take back my comment about the breakfast! It was perfect. I would rather there not be food wasted. We are already looking forward to our next visit, and breakfast.

We had a great time at the resort. The activities that are included in the resort fee are pretty great (Kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, canoeing etc..). The beach right out front was wonderful and we saw many whales and brilliant sunsets from the pool.

My wife and I kicked off our honeymoon here, and the hotel exceeded our expectations. The entire hotel has an understated, open vibe that is a welcome departure from the over the top aesthetics of the the other hotels in Wailea. The room design of their standard rooms are particularly well suited to couples, especially the massive horizontal shower with a glass front to the bed and balcony. There's a bit of wear and tear evident in the room after a decade of use and it does not look ultra modern or trendy anymore, but I think they did a good job designing with longevity in mind as is so often the case with Hyatt properties. Unless you actively want a plush-style luxury experience this shouldn't be a problem. The pool terraces are both very cool to look at and very functional, providing lots of swimming and lounging space for different groups of guests and great views for everyone. The beach was obviously one of the best beaches in the world, but that should go without saying for any property in Wailea. The staff at the pool and beach were also very attentive and proactive. Food was also almost uniformly good, with the particular highlights being the quality of the everyday food like the breakfast buffet (the best either of us have enjoyed at any hotel), the beach lunch options, and even the late night room service. The dinners we had there at the main restaurant and during the luau were closer to ok than great, but still had lots of variety. The spa was another highlight. The massage therapists were very very good (something we're usually fairly picky about), the locker and indoor plunge/sauna facilities were nice and well-maintained, and my wife gave high marks to the salon. Overall we were very happy we chose to stay here instead of the other Wailea hotels (at least as a couple), and would happily make that choice again the next time we're in Maui.

From the moment you step on the Andaz Property, you are welcomed with kindness and beauty. The lobby, pools, and beach are incredible along with the friendly staff. The beds are very comfortable and my room requests were granted with ease and grace. The food options on the property are incredible. I highly recommend staying here!
