Great resort for honeymooners/couples
We stayed at the Andaz for 3 nights on points during part of our honeymoon. We arrived at 11am and our room was ready, which was surprising but amazing! Valet brought up our luggage which was helpful. The pool area was awesome, we loved the infinity pools and found the somewhat hidden adult pool which was also great. Most of the kids/families used the lowest pool, which was kind of nice so it felt a bit more calm at the upper pools. We could find a seat every time except our last day, but luckily the adult pool had some open. Most (if not all) of the seats around the main pools had umbrellas which was a huge plus. We do wish the adult pool had more shaded spots though. We also liked how they had special XL towels designated as chair covers. Pool bathrooms were so clean and nice. We ate by the pool two days, and split the lobster grilled cheese both times because it was that good (maybe one of the best food items we had during our entire trip). The $19 fancy drinks were a bit pricey but that seemed to be the going rate. Our room wasn’t as big or as functional as the rooms at the other resorts we stayed at, but was the most “sexy”. I appreciated the vanity with a chair and makeup mirror for getting ready in the bathroom. Some of the doors in the bathroom did take a bit of force to close though and were loud. I really liked the tile floors throughout the entire room, which feels cleaner/more sanitary than carpet like most hotels have. The “do not disturb” light-up button was also really cool instead of using a door hanger. Also loved the automatic window shades and the black-out option. The staff treated us wonderfully and we got to choose a welcome gift for our honeymoon and chose a bottle of wine. We do wish there was a cheaper self-park option, but the guys at valet were always friendly and efficient. They were so organized and quick (we did call ahead for our car to avoid waiting). Out of the three Hyatt’s we stayed at in Hawaii during our honeymoon, this one had the most “adult” and “honeymoon” feel. We also liked the Wailea area because it was less crowded than Kaanapali. Overall a great stay!
Overpriced property in Wailea
We decided to stay a week at the Andaz and be pampered. We figured that with the price for the room the same as a room in the Maldives, we would be luxuriating in the lap of luxury. NOT! The good things about the Andaz. The property is right on a beach. A majority of the staff is very helpful and generally pleased at having you there. The staff at the beach is the best. That's where the good things end. We paid an exhorbitant price for our Ocean View suite., but when we checked in we were given a room at a lower floor. Yes, the room did have a view of the ocean, but only over the tops of the trees. We asked for another room but we were told that they were being held for other guests. However, it was suggested that we could upgrade to a nicer room for another $800 a night. At that rate, we could have rented a nice, 3 bedroom villa on the beach. Anyway, the view wasn't bad and so we accepted it. So, the view was great, but the room at this newest property in Wailea has seen better days. Firstly, the furnishings were very spartan - reminiscent of the low-end Hyatt or MArriott hotels. Very Ikea chic. Not what one would expect at $1,400/night. Not one of the doors - bathroom, closet, the bar - would shut. And the closets had auto lights which would come on when the doors were opened. Needless to say that we had light streaking in all night. Not only did we pay fexhorbitantly for this room, but we were charged a valet parking fee of $40/night. There is no self parking. No other property in Wailea that we have stayed at, charges a parking fee. And to add to this insult is the "Resort Fee". Of course, every hotel charges this. The $48/night fee at the Andaz was to get us a fully stocked mini-bar (free). What we didn't find out until later was that you had to go ask for your chips and soft drinks at the front desk. The mini-bar is empty - you get to replenish it. The resort fee also got you free kayak and paddle-board lessons - which were always full. So, in essence, you got a couple of soft drinks and chips for your daily $48 fee. What a crock. Why can't they just bundle the fee into the price of the room and call it just what it is - an overpriced room! Talking about the bar - we were given 4 paper cups and a coffee maker. There were the usual condiments and tea - but no way to make hot water for your tea. For the price of the room you would expect to have wine glasses, coffee/tea mugs, etc. Maybe the higher priced room that we were offered had these fine amenities. Don't be fooled with the pictures on the Hyatt website or Tripadvisor. These are mmostly management pictures and were taken when the resort was just built. The rooms and property are nothing like that now. For the price we paid, the Four Seasons nearby would have been a much better option. After staying at the Andaz in Tokyo, the Andaz in Wailea was a huge letdown.
Brand New Construction Villa…. Inconsistent Service
My family loves Maui and we stay in the Wailea Area often. We stayed a week in the brand new villas. Service is very inconsistent. Our room wasn’t ready at check-in (we were also not given welcome leis that others received) and were told to check our bags while we waited for our room to be ready. My wife’s Hermès handbag was misplaced. You can imagine how anxious she felt as they scrambled to locate her handbag. We rented a cabana 3 days ($300 per day) and had to compete with regular pool users for waitress service. There was only one waitress serving half the pool area. We were only offered the “complimentary “ pool products that came with the cabana once of the 3 times we booked. By comparison, the Fairmomt Kea lani offered a personal cooler, dedicated waitress, and is consistently checking in on you with fresh fruit and warm towels with cabana service. Food service was also inconsistent. Staff was nice but we constantly had to refill our own water and wine. Not the type of service you would expect from a high end hotel. We ordered the crudités plate daily for the kids at the pool and received varying amounts each time. Again, very inconsistent. We did not feel welcomed at check in and check out. Other hotels constantly checked in to see how you stay is going. Our “dedicated VIP” Andaz team did not. On the plus side, the brand new villas are nicely built with quality finishes. We were one of the first to stay in them. The built in coffee maker didn’t work and we were never offered anything to make up for it (complimentary coffee service?) The Andaz charges and tries to give you a high end hotel experience but does not have the service to back it up. If you want to make your vacation “special” do yourself a favor and stay at the Fairmont or Four Seasons if looking in the Wailea area. The staff is very nice but fails to deliver the high end customer service you would expect at a quality resort.
Perfect end to our family vacation
2nd stay here. Booked on points 6+months ago and secured 6 days. Lucky because the rooms were selling out at premium rates - $1k+. Upgraded my room to a suite - awesome. The 2nd half, had to move to a smaller - double bed room but upgraded me to another suite the day after, without asking for it. It’s this level of service that I love about the Andaz properties. They really do take care of you. As for the property, you get what you pay for. Modern, clean, upscale and the beach is beautiful with snorkeling at its best along with myriad outdoor activities. Will be back.
Great Stay
The resort is right on one of the best beaches, with great on property options for restaurants and activities. The room price included breakfast buffet, with good choice of eggs and beverages. The Morimoto restaurant on property is a must try ! If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you might be a little disappointed with the limited available choices on the menu in all the restaurants on property. The hotel concierge helps you book activities such as snorkeling, whale watching, hiking etc. The meeting point for most water activities in right on the hotel beach so you dont have to worry about the commute.
