"The property location was exactly what we wanted, easy access to the Wailea beachfront walking path and directly on the beach. We had a great time but if you are considering this place you need to go in with your eyes wide open. It was very pricey for how tired this unit is. It badly needs a full renovation. The tile is from the 1980's, the carpet is gross and crunchy. When we arrived late, it appeared someone had tried to break in the sliding doors and that set off numerous R&M emails...

Top Palauea Beach Hotel Reviews

Wailea Elua- CoralTree Residence Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this condo was perfect. Beautiful view and close enough to hear the waves. The host was very responsive whenever I had a question."

Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui

8/10 Good

"I wished there were more activities available or at least wished the activities were closer to the pool area. My kids wanted to do them, but the walk was too far since we settled into the pool area already. Everyone was so helpful and nice. This was our second time in Maui, and we brought our kids this time. They had an amazing time. The resort is well maintained and only a 5 min walk to a local market where we enjoyed many meals at. Shuttle service only goes in Wailea area. It was convenient that Enterprise rental was on site. We got our car quickly. The beach chairs and umbrellas were first come first serve. You are added to a waitlist by text. We got there right when it opened up at 8:00 am one day and got one right away; while on our last day, the wait was too long even at 8:00 am, but they provided us with a Tommy Bahama chair to sit on the beach still. Overall, our stay was wonderful. Beautiful property for families. Thank you for everything!"
