Grand Wailea Full Tour | Is This The Best Family Resort in Maui?

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive tour of the Grand Wailea, a massive Waldorf Astoria resort located on the island of Maui. The review highlights the property as a popular destination for families, primarily due to its extensive and highly rated pool complex which features water slides, a water elevator, and a private grotto. The creator explores various areas of the resort, including the open air lobby, lush gardens, the wedding chapel, and several dining options such as the recently renovated Botero and the upscale Humuhumunukunukuapua'a. While the resort offers significant amenities and beautiful Asian art, the creator notes several drawbacks, including high costs for parking, food, and drinks. Service is described as potentially inconsistent due to the massive scale of the hotel. The creator also advises travelers regarding room views, noting that some expensive rooms may not offer ocean views despite the resort's orientation. To manage expenses, the creator suggests utilizing Hilton Honors points, booking club level access, or exploring nearby dining options outside the resort property.
