Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful resort! Spacious and comfortable rooms, with beautiful views. All the staff we came in contact with were amazing and helpful. The 3 pools are beautiful, and as adults with adult children, we appreciated a pool that was kid-free! We used and were grateful for the onsite Starbucks, we also used 2 of the food trucks for lunch and dinner, both were delicious, and pricing on par for resort food. If we ever travel back to Maui, I’m sure this will be the first place we look at to stay!"
