Grand Wailea Maui
ResortThe Grand is the most
spectacular hotel on Maui. It has the most elaborate and numerous and
beautiful pools, with separate pools for adults and children and families,
many water slides and bridges, a water elevator, swinging rope, play and
game areas, a pool with a sandy beach, decorative pools with fountains and
waterfalls, and more. The huge open-air lobbies have beautiful large
scultures. Phone (808) 875-1234.
The rooms at the Grand Wailea Resort are rather
ordinary, considering the high price you have to pay to stay there.
Most of the 787 rooms are ocean view. But most of your money is going for the
pools and lobbies and beautiful expansive grounds.
The Grand is in Wailea, the upscale resort section of
South Maui. This part of Maui gets a little less rain than West Maui,
but that makes the undeveloped areas around the resorts look more brown and
dry, not as lush and green as Kaanapali and the west side of the island.
My favorite restaurant at the Maui Grand is
Humuhumunukunukuapuaa (named after the Hawaiian state fish). It is
only open for dinner. It's tables are arranged in thatched-roof pods
in a lagoon. Other good restaurants in the Grand Wailea are Bistro Molokini,
Cafe Kula, Grand Dining Room, Kincha, and several bars and lounges.

If you are bringing your kids to Maui, and you don't
mind the expense, then the Grand Wailea with its fabulous pools is a great
place to stay.
