Creator's Key Takeaways

I've stayed here before in the past and wasn't incredibly impressed with the service

the resort being a Waldorf Astoria has almost a thousand rooms so it's absolutely massive and service can be hit or miss

the pool complex is definitely the big draw of this Resort this is why it's so popular with families

I actually looked up again the parking price and it was 40 when I stayed there and now it's 65 per night

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book an ocean view room rather than hoping for an upgrade
βœ“Consider staying on the club level to cut food costs
βœ“Use your AmEx Aspire card's $250 credit for on-property spending
βœ“Book with points to save on the nightly rate
βœ“Explore other nearby resorts for cheaper food options

YouTube Video Description↓

The Grand Wailea, a Waldorf-Astoria Resort, considered one of the best family resorts on Maui, is a huge destination in Hawaii. But, having stayed here in the past, I found the resort to be packed and overpriced. I walked through the resort in July 2022 to see what has changed, and to finally do a proper tour of this massive place.
