Stephen and Michelle Review of Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa
We stayed here for the tail end of our 2 week hone...
We stayed here for the tail end of our 2 week honeymoon after getting married on Oahu. We booked through Priceline for a cheaper rate than what is available on the website - upon arrival they told us we had booked 2 double beds, when in fact this wasn't what I had requested and I had even called ahead to let them know we would be visiting on our honeymoon. Fortunately they were able to accommodate our requests. Upon arriving to the room, we noticed the room smelt a bit musty (I think mostly coming from the bathroom that did not have a fan). The main area itself was nice, bed was comfortable (pillows could be updated for sure).. however the bathroom could have definitely used a deep clean or a face lift. We loved having a fridge in our room - for families with children, we wouldn't recommend as there is no kitchenettes and nothing very close by for easy grab and go meals (they had a little breakfast cafe near the lobby... $7.50 for a breakfast sandwhich, $6+ for a small iced coffee). Another downfall was the 20 USD parking fee which is in addition to the 30 USD (I believe) resort fee per night. The sheraton comps your first night parking, however this is not nearly enough to make up for the excessive additional fees you will get after you pay to stay here.
Other than these issues (more just to make other travellers aware of..), I would definitely recommend this resort to someone who wants to just lounge around... by close to the beach... enjoy a nice refreshing & clean pool... etc. We loved snorkelling with the turtles RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE RESORT! The turtles would show up mostly in the afternoon and hang around for a bit eating the algae off the black rocks. The location is amazing with not much traffic being the end resort on the road/beach. They offer a shuttle to and from Lahaina & whalers village (definitely could use an extra shuttle running during peak times such as dinner since at times we were standing for our 20 minute ride).
Overall we enjoyed our stay & are glad we chose the Sheraton, but if you're not wanting to pay a lot extra money when you arrive, this is not the place for you!!
