The location, first and foremost, seems far North on the island compared to most other things you'll do. It's 30-35 minutes to the Airport, and an hour to the town. We went into town yesterday morning to do Dolphin Discoveries, which is a separate review, but was incredible. The Hotel is absolutely stunning, and the valet service is quick, reliable, and polite. There is snorkel equipment for rental, first hour is free, and the snorkeling in the nearby lagoon is surprisingly good. Unfortunately, they were no leis when we arrived, other than the nut ones for boys. Which was fine by me, but my mother wanted flowers. Also, at the Maui Fairmont, drinks were given out upon arrival. Though the hotel did remedy the lei situation two days later, in their defense. Also, getting bottles of water seems to be like getting blood from a turnip, and turndown service sometimes never comes. Lastly, the breakfast place on location is obscenely overpriced. All in all, the hotel is unbelievably beautiful, employees are nice, and willing to help, though service is sometimes lacking. The food is good, though overpriced. And the location is North, away from the Volcano and town. A good hotel overall, the room is clean, beautiful, and spacious, and the grounds are well kept.
