What hotel is Maui’s top destination? With hundreds of impressive hotels in this island paradise, it’s next to impossible to settle on just one. The following hotels are considered the top five places to stay in Maui, and excellent places to start a search for the perfect Hawaiian vacation.
The Grand Wailea Resort is opulent and overstated. From a lobby filled with exotic plants to a pool with enough slides and waterfalls to be considered a water park, Grand Wailea is a full service luxury resort on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. At $400 per night, this resort is a good all around deal.
The suites at the Fairmont Kea Lani are the most deluxe on the island. With beach view lanais and marble bathrooms large enough to be palaces, this all-suite luxury hotel boasts the nicest rooms in the Pacific Ocean starting at around $450 per night.
Four Seasons Resort at Wailea has long been a favorite of newlyweds due to its romantic gardens and pristine beaches. It is just a few seconds’ walk from activities such as surfing and snorkeling, making it a prime choice for those who want to experience every activity Maui has to offer. Every room has a stunning view either of the garden or the ocean, but visitors will pay dearly for it at around $800 per night.
The Maui Prince Hotel in Makena is off-the-beaten-path on a volcanic rock beach. Don’t think you’ll be bored in this small town; with views of three neighboring islands, a bay filled with sea turtles and dolphins, and an award-winning golf course, there is a lot to see and do here for just $200-300 per night.
The Hotel Hana Maui is set on a working ranch in an island rain forest. With world class spa services and a secluded location, this is the perfect destination for people wanting a natural, slow-paced vacation with lots of amenities. With rooms starting around $400 per night, this is not a bargain vacation locale, but definitely a feature-rich one.
