We have stayed at almost every hotel in Wailea and this hotel seems to draw us back again and again. It's grand entrance with those grand and beautiful Cook pines are like a warm welcome home each time we arrive. The folks are always welcoming too..They make every effort to be accommodating to each guest.

Newer hotels in the area are lovely as well, but feel a bit pretentious. Wailea is a lovely and peaceful part of Maui and the Fairmont with its wonderful architecture and feel makes one never want to leave, just ask my wife.

Notes- take advantage of what's included in the resort fee. The cultural canoe experience is delightful. The free sun protection lotion is good stuff and one less thing to pack. Decent wifi is a plus. And they just started a text service for anything and everything you may need! It's fabulous! We made reserved an activity and dinner right from our beach chair..wonderful!

Fairmont Kai Lani is a hidden gem.
