Pros: Large, comfortable rooms, beautiful beach location, and a great luau! Makes you feel sinfully rich!
Cons: Yes, it's expensive! But aren't you worth it?
Summary: What a perfect location for the "wannabe" rich and famous. That's me! The Renaissance Wailea made me feel sinfully rich (even though I am far from it!) The hotel is very beautiful and provides many extras for its pampered guests.

Pros: Amazing grounds and beautiful views. Quiet, peaceful, with a semi-private beach.
Cons: Very small pool. Wailea is far from nightlife in Lahaina (45 minutes drive)
Summary: My wife and I have stayed at almost every hotel on Maui and the Renaissance Wailea is our favorite. The entire hotel is very calming and tropical. Unlike the Hyatt or the Westin in Kaanapali you never have to struggle to find a chair by the pool or the ... read more

Pros: Location, great snorkling out the back door, large rooms, eager yet invisible staff, comfortable bed
Cons: Small pool, restaurants, expensive poolside drinks (very good though), no real spa facilities
Summary: This hotel has just the right amount of amenities and services to make it the perfect fit. The beach is perfect and it is always possible to find yourself a semi secluded area. The snorkling right outside the door is just as good as some of the place ... read more

Pros: Great view of Mokapu Beach, hammocks are a nice touch, free daily brunch (good food)

Pros: Nice location.
Cons: Expensive. Poor customer service. Traffic.
Summary: MY EXPERIENCE - POOR TREATMENT AND DISHONESTY
It is hard to say anything bad about Hawaii. The place is wonderful, except for the dishonesty and mass confusion of the front desk staff of the Renaissance Wailea Beach Resort. You may have a ... read more

Pros: Good, likeable resort in lovely Wailea. Awesome beach!
Cons: Not the most "fabulous" resort on Maui.

Pros: Great Location! Decent beach!
Cons: Inferior to the neighboring resorts! Size does matter!
Summary: I have always been partial to Renaissance properties. So when planning for our Hawaiian getaway we considered going with the always safe Renaissance. As most web surfers know Marriott has the worst website so you really can't get much on the hotel ... read more

Pros: Price/location=value!
Cons: Construction on north side is noisy at 7:30 a.m.
Summary: Okay, granted the Grand Wailea is an awesome place, and perhaps I'll take out a loan and take the kids there when there both at least 8 so they can enjoy the amenities. And I'm sure the treatment is royal at the Four Reasons (# of digits you'll spend in ... read more

Cons: Pool is not fun, pool bar is expensive, beach is not that great.
Summary: I would give the hotel an average rating. We did receive an early check in, which was nice and the staff was very accommodating. We also received a very nice view of the ocean. We did have some problems. There was no remote in the room, so we had to
