11. Polo Beach Club POL-109 by KBM

Wailea, 0.5 km from Palauea Beach

"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

Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort - a concept by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. We booked 2 weeks but ended up leaving a couple days early because of the potential hurricane threat. Staff was amazing!! Everyone was so very friendly! Loved the walking path to other hotels, shops, restaurants! Rooms were nice, loved the coffee, chips, cookies, cute reusable bag provided. Wished it had another mirror somewhere to get ready while another was showering and wished there was more space for clothes. Though again we were there for 2 weeks so had a lot. They had full sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, ironing board and cloths steamer, nice hair dryer and robes. Small reusable water bottles with ice and water available on each floor. Food by the pool was good. We rented a car for part of our stay, so super close to Kīhei for food, other beaches, shops but $60/day to park and had to use valet. Pools were beautiful! Reef safe sunscreen 30 & 50 were provided at every pool. We were a little disappointed that 2 pools were being worked on and we didn’t know it beforehand. Very noisy at one pool M-F for hours. And limited shady spots, and if windy, shade umbrellas had to come down. You could purchase cabanas in the shade for an extra $250 I believe but many sat empty at all pools. Beach was rough after the storm (can’t be helped because of weather) but no one was working on steps, path to get down to the beach. Other hotels were on it days after it happened… just something to be prepared, aware of. We were able to snorkel."

"Everything was just FANTASTIC. Please don't laugh. The only thing that we can think of that for you guys to do something about, and only if you are allowed to do something about it, is too many black bees at the smoking hut areas."

"Decks & living space spacious. Property beautiful and well maintained, plenty of parking. Views were amazing, very quiet, nice pools. Staff would bring additional supplies if needed.
