    The rooms, beds and furniture was in great conditions and the bed was very comfortable. The location within walking distant to Kamole Beach and Park. There an ABC store and other shops and restaurants nearby within walking distant too.

    Good location in Kihei, Maui This was our home for 6 nights. We had a studio unit and, unfortunately, most of their studio units are on the higher floors. 1 or 2 bedpost units are below. There is an elevator on the premises. There are 4 levels in the building, we were on the 3rd floor and our unit seemed far from the main parking lot. Our room is closer to the back and there is a closer exit but parking spaces are always taken up on that side. This was my only personal complaint. Oh well... The unit is clean and the bed was comfortable. Since we had a studio unit we had a Murphy bed that we took down each night. The kitchen was fully equipped and we like that Worldmark has a washer/dryer in each unit. There are no BBQ grills in the balconies. They are located in a community area on the ground floor. The staff employees were nice and friendly. They were able to assist with extra toiletry items we requested and the concierge provided us a map suggesting places and landmarks to visit. We were able to say no to their Owner Update meeting without any sales pressure. Wow... that was easy! Usually it's not. The resort is walking distance to the Kama'ole Park on South Kihei Road and is divided into three distinct beach areas -- I, II, and III. We did some of our evening strolls at the beach and watched the sunset there too. It was nice. On S Kihei Road are plenty of shops and restaurants. While many are walking distance you may want to drive to some of the popular spots like the Paia Fish Market (17-mi from the resort). Every night there are food trucks parked just outside the resort. Although we never took advantage of it it is nice and convenient that it was an option for food. Pleasant experience overall. Review #2689

    Very nice resort located on the slightly "less crowded " vacation environs of west Maui. Awesome views, everything within walking distance. We used this attribute to walk everywhere (saved a bundle on rental car costs), and lost weight/improved our fitness in the process! Plenty of high quality food trucks nearby and choke restaurants also within walking distance. Foodland is also close by if you want to stock up on groceries. Maui is wickedly expensive (Waikiki pales in comparison) but you can still find ways to visit this iconic island and not break your bank account. Nice stay. Recommended. Mahalo for reading my review.

    For whatever reason, Gayle and I aren't timeshare people in terms of our main vacation choices. However, when her Sister (who has done very well playing the timeshares system over the years) invited us to spend a couple weeks in Hawaii with them at their reserved WorldMark Kihei condo, it was a slam dunk to accept. We had a great time. The 2 BR apartment was roomy and comfortable and although this WorldMark is not right on the beach (Kamaole Park I), we had a great partial view of the water, featuring stunning sunsets and a lot of whale sightings. The pool was also open (reservations with COVID restrictions required) and it was an easy walk to the beach. Our meals were largely eaten in (thanks to Costco and Safeway runs), which were supplemented by the food trucks that were parked nearby, snacks from ABC, and walks to various happy hours (5 Palms and Maui Coast Hotel) and Breakfast (Kihei Cafe). The only thing missing with COVID restrictions is that cleaning the room was up to us. But we really didn't mind. WiFi was also pretty good for our devices (and a Zoom hosted class I was taking) and at least a couple puzzles were finished during a few of our lazy days.

    The air-conditioning banks are really loud and as you can see, right outside the bedrooms..

    Things have definitely improved somewhat since our last stay. The rooms are noticeably cleaner. The furniture is in less disrepair. It was obvious the carpet had just been cleaned. Thank you for that! I'm not exactly sure what's happening at the pool. This was a huge problem last time too. We have gone in the afternoon on several occasions and we have been getting attacked by flies. My husband fell asleep and at one point I counted over 30of them landing on him. It's ridiculous. Since this was a problem last time, I'm guessing there's some trash or something nearby. I'm not sure because this is not a problem at our friends, timeshare down the road. It's unusual that this property does not have an adult only swim hour or even a quiet hour. It's a very kid friendly place with a nice pool, but seriously, the kids are screaming until 10 o'clock every evening and sometimes beyond. They also do not have any prohibitions about kids in the hot tub. There is no need for a kid in diapers to be in the hot tub but it's filled with kids all the time. Even an hours worth of respite would be appreciated. there are such policies in place at other Worldmark locations. If you go to the owner update, expect high-pressure sales as always. I realize that this is how it works, and that they are optional. However, it's supposed to be an hour long and each time it has gone at least an hour and a half. Granted, we could leave, but that's hard to do without feeling like you're being rude. All in all, I would say, things are much improved, and I do appreciate the efforts. As always, staff is full of aloha! EDIT: those of you who are light slieepers, here is a tip. Don't use the air conditioning unit in the bedroom. It goes on every few minutes, stays on for 30 seconds, and then pops off. Super annoying because it wakes you up constantly. We had to open the window, but if you do that, you hear the big air conditioning, banks below, and everybody passing by. If it's not too hot, just blast the air conditioning that is in the living room and hopefully it's enough to keep things cool in the bedroom. Or, sleep on the Murphy bed. This continues to frustrate me, but it hasn't changed.

    Home away from home! This is our place for 8 days and 7 nights . Our home fully equipped if we decide to cook and eat in. We originally book for our family but they couldn't come so we cancelled the bigger unit and saved to use our studio. So the studio on Wyndham/Worldmark resorts I notice it's always a pull down/up Murphy bed. Our studio is pretty roomy. The kitchen is big enough with all the necessary utensils, the bathroom is roomy as well. We pretty much busy during the day exploring Maui and coming to home to our place was relaxing. The resort is pretty big, you have your usual swimming pool by the check in area and the concierge is right on the other side by the pool. The location is great and it's walking distance from the beach and Shopping/dining area. We actually watch the sunset on our first day here. They also have 2 food trucks serving guest and locals right by the front desk. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

    Overall decent stay in Kihei. It's walkable to Kamaole I and various restaurants just south on Kihei Rd. Check in staff and laundry personnel are kind and attentive. There was plenty of parking on the facility during our stay. Pros: The room itself was newly renovated and great for the price. If you're a Worldmark member you probably already know the deal and it's on par with other Worldmark timeshares, reliable but not extravagant. The appliances like the dishwasher and washer/dryer worked as needed. AC unit was quiet as well as we kept it on during the night. Pool was large and the hot tubs were a nice to have especially after a long day at the beach. Cons: During our stay they continued to remodel several units around the facility, including the unit right above ours (or we just had incredible noisy upstairs neighbors), but there was loud footsteps and movement of furniture starting right at 7am and could be heard as late as 10pm. So regardless, you are at the mercy of any human being in the walls adjacent or above you. Lastly some of the staff here are extremely comfortable with using their keys to get into your room. I would really prefer a deadbolt or locking mechanism from the inside as we had two separate situations that arose. The first day, a staff member delivered some additional hangers to the room by knocking on the door twice and as I stood up to answer the door, he just let himself in while we were in the middle of changing. Not a big deal we thought to ourselves, we didn't want to make a fuss. On our last day however, we went out to pick up a quick breakfast at 8:30 and came back by 9am (1 hour before the 10am checkout) and came back to a cleaning bin outside of our door with our door UNLOCKED and a few inches ajar. Luckily everything was accounted for as we left a wallet, GoPro and other snorkeling equipment in the room. When we contacted the front desk, the Manager, Heath, explained that they checked their system and didn't note any other entry to the room that morning. Insinuating that we had left our door open even though we hadn't had an incident like this during our entire stay, let alone with all of our valuables in the room (their word against ours). Nothing was missing so we weren't looking for compensation of any sort; but any sort of accountability and an apology would've been nice, but I guess that's too much to ask for. So be aware of that and I would not leave anything of value inside your room or expect management to be responsible for any shortfalls.

    First time here in Maui and got lucky enough to snag 5 days here for vacation. As a Worldmark owner without travel share or any of the new BS upgrades they keep pressuring you to buy it's just so disappointing to see our propertiee less than 5 stars. The so called upgrades are the bare minimums and remind me of a poor college student trying to just have their own place to live. Nothing fancy in this studio. Murphy bed looked new and is somewhat comfortable. The little couch is not comfy more of decoration. The TV works but have no idea why they put this tv stand instead of a useful dresser. I hate I have to pay to stream on the tv or to use their internet because I'm not a owner. So suitcases are on the floor. Small closer to hang stuff if needed. I guess I could stuff everything in the drawer that is provided. The two metal tables don't have a purpose just decor I guess. The small table and two chairs is alright. Wish they would ask owners for input. Walls are plain white with the wall behind the Murphy bed painted a bright blue. Maybe they are not finished. Let's talk about cleanliness. As with all Worldmark properties I feel they do not mop the floors ever! Why is this? The bathroom counters looked and appeared clean as with the tub and towels. But the floors are questionable. The kitchen was restocked and appeared to be wiped down but not sure about the stove. Did not look wiped down to me but no intentions of using it. No bugs in the unit which I had a concern about from previous reviews. Beach is very accessible from the property a short 5 min walk from our building number 5. No ocean view for us as we were on the second floor. Of course they get you with offering the $100 to go to their owner update and the Aloha Promise no pushy sales or come back to concierge and they will give you $200 gift card. Our presenter was very nice. She said she was from corporate and did things different. Listened to our concerns and didn't make us feel dumb because we declined. She was the only person we ever liked in the 24 years as an owner. It's too bad she wasn't there on previous presentations and it would have made a difference years ago for us. Just we are not able to spend the extra. $30,000 for more points. I mean what's wrong with our one week a year? We are doing just fine with our little 7,000 credits a year. I just don't understand why they don't give us the same benefits we owners all deserve? To keep having to upgrade and upgrade and upgrade! Anyways...overall decent stay so far. A/C nice in cool in the unit. I didn't think it was too loud. Can hear the people upstairs walking around but other than that pretty quiet!!

When we went to the adult pool we were told by one employee that we needed to be on a waitlist. After 3 hours when we finally got notified that it was our turn and went back we noticed other guests just literally went and grabbed empty benches and staffs were just setting the benches up for them(no, they didn't even know there was a waitlist)... Our canoe experience at the last day of our stay got canceled due to high wind and the concierge never notified us etc. Many employees gave me the vibe that they don't really care. They just gave me fake smiles and robotic responses. Maybe Amond would take better care of us...if he is still alive... The view was very amazing. We even spotted whales many times.

If you're a couple and you are there for more than two days you'll appreciate the ability of the early riser to get up, make some coffee and hang on the lanai without disturbing the one of you who likes to sleep in. The bathroom was large and luxurious and supplied with really nice Le Labo soaps, shampoos and lotions. In addition, the property is immaculate and the public spaces are beautiful. There are three attractive pools -- one of which is adult only and there's a beach with attended lounge chairs at the bottom edge of the property. Our stay included the breakfast buffet, which had a wide assortment of choices that were nicely prepared. A downside of the hotel is that they host a number of corporate events and it can sometimes feel a bit crowded. Many mornings during our stay, there was a good size line at the host's station to be seated for breakfast. And once we were seated, navigating the buffet stations was a bit hectic. Similarly, the lounge chairs on the beach are within inches of each other. When sitting on your lanai, the music from one corporate cocktail event or another provides the soundtrack for the evenings. And one final nit -- the Nespresso capsules in the room were very nice, but the coffee served at breakfast was abysmal. So don't get me wrong. This is a very nice place and we had an enjoyable stay. But if you're sensitive to having your own space most of the time, this might not work for you.

    I had a wonderful stay here during my visit to Maui. I will warn you that the price is very…read moreexpensive but for me, it was worth it. From the moment I arrived the service was impeccable. From the Valet parking ($75 a night ouch) attendant , to the check in attendant Kela (thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness) to the bell check who was hella cool, everyone was so genuinely kind. The pool is amazing. It was hella crowded though and I took quite some time to find a chair but it was summer at the pool what else would you expect? I hope to be able to visit again. Right after I replenish my savings from this visit. Hahahaha!

    We absolutely loved our stay at Grand Wailea. We were upgraded for free to an oceanfront view,…read morewhich made the trip feel extra special. Our room was clean, comfortable, and very nice, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and hardworking. We explored many other hotels while we were on Maui, and honestly, none of them compared to Grand Wailea. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, expansive, and classic. I don't agree with the reviews saying it feels run down. It isn't ultra-modern, but it has a grand, timeless, classic resort feel. The beach out front is amazing. We explored a lot of beaches on Maui, and I never found one I liked better than the beach at Grand Wailea. The resort itself also feels unmatched in size and beauty. No other hotel we saw had the same expansive grounds, pools, landscaping, and overall resort feel. That said, the biggest downside was how much everything felt overpriced. I understand Maui and luxury resorts are expensive, but Grand Wailea sometimes felt like it was nickel-and-diming guests. Valet parking is $75 per day, and when you add in tipping every time you retrieve a rental car, it gets frustrating fast. On Saturday and Sunday evenings, valet was also very slow. One night we waited over 25 minutes. The valet staff were clearly working hard, but they seemed understaffed for the volume of guests. The food pricing was also hard to justify. At the marketplace/counter-service options, we saw coffee for $7.50, hot dogs for $26, hamburgers for $32, and 12-inch pizzas around $30. You also often have to wait in a long line, and if one person is making coffee drinks, it slows the entire line down. Olivine looks beautiful, but the prices were extremely high, including a personal sausage pizza for $38. Considering the mixed reviews, we could not justify eating there. While we were there for over a week, the resort restaurants looked quite empty every day. I truly think if the restaurant prices were even 30% lower, many more guests would stay on property to eat instead of walking across the street to places like Manoli's or Island Gourmet. The pool area was beautiful, and we appreciated little touches like seeing free pineapple passed out at the pool one day. The idea was nice, although the execution could have been better since the server was putting wet pineapple chunks directly into people's hands. We also wish the waterslides stayed open later, especially for families. Grand Wailea does offer free Nespresso coffee in the room, which is nice, but after seeing one too many social media videos about people misusing hotel coffee makers, I personally can't bring myself to use in-room hotel coffee machines anymore. One extra service I would gladly pay for is a paid hospitality suite or shower room option for guests with late flights. So many flights out of Hawaii leave late at night, and after checking out in the morning, it would be incredibly helpful to have a clean, comfortable place to shower and freshen up before heading to the airport. Overall, we loved Grand Wailea and would absolutely recommend it. The staff, room, beach, pools, and grounds were wonderful. I don't understand all the bad reviews because our experience was very positive. The resort is beautiful and memorable. My only real complaint is that the food, coffee, parking, and extras are priced so high that it pushes guests away from spending money on property. Full restaurants would be more profitable than beautiful restaurants sitting empty.

    Arrived and was greeted by Keahi. Check in was a breeze. After check in we were greater by a sales…read moreconsultant who offered a membership to the club. A glass of champagne or mimosa would have been a nice touch for keeping us captive when we really just wanted to be off enjoying our stay. We didn't know about the "club" before making reservations, so the sales pitch was a surprise. The facility was renovated and quite nice appearing. The kitchen and in room laundry facilities were nice to have, although the laundry machine and drier in our room was inconveniently LOUD, So we just set it when we were leaving the unit. Unfortunately, that was not our only experience with unacceptable noise levels. Our upstairs neighbors slammed their doors, chairs, and stomped during the day and night. The noise transmission was in direct contrast to the beautifully renovated rooms. The door to the bathrooms did not soft close. In fact, it was easily slammed shut. The sliding door to the bathrooms did also did not soft close and easily slammed shut... perhaps a suggestion for a future update? The noise from stomping on the floor... ask for the top floor! Or, if you're hard of hearing you should be fine.

    We really enjoyed our stay. Our kid completely loved the pools and wife and I loved the full…read morekitchen with appliances much nicer than our house. Very upscale. Housekeeping was on point. Location is great being minutes from Kahului and Wailea. I love the bars in Kihei - best people watching and they have a movie theater with recliners! The resort had 4 pools with its own private beach, just across the street from the rooms.. not an issue to walk right over.. we saw turtles there :) Everyone at the resort was nice. Contrary to what people say about the pool temps, I had no issue and thought they were perfect. Also, never heard the construction the whole time and I was in building 6 in the corner closest to the construction. I would definitely come back.
