That looks like the Makena Golf Resort, but did you see the 4.5* for only $60 more? Check it out and perhaps its the Grand Wailea

If its the Grand Wailea, thats a huge step up for $60

Thank you so much for your help. Looking at a map this hotel is much further than we want to stay. We are staying at the Kaanapali Beach Club the first week and the second week at the Westin Kannapali. I have one night between the two I need to find. Thank you again! However, I think I should look in the Kaanapali area.

Since you are going to move anyways, try a different area. Maui offers several different microclimates. Wailea would be an excellent choice(much drier), Hana(Rain forest) Kapalua (tropical) or the high country(like someone moved the Sierras to Maui

imo- The 4.5* Wailea is a really good deal(my guess the Grand Wailea)

OR

Drop your luggage at the Westin and take the Ferry to Lanai or Molokai taking only an overnight bag and spend the day/night there

I noticed the list here for Maui Wailea that the Hotwire Hotel List doesn't have any 4 or 5 stars listed. However searching on HOTWIRE, there are 5, 4.5, and 4 starts available for this area. Is the list out of date?

thank you

The lists provide what has been reported to the board, and are updated as new hotels/changes/etc are posted.

Thanks you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Some hotels are reclassed back & forth (HOTWIRE is very independent in this matter), for instance the Makena Golf Resort is on the list as a 3.5* but has been reported as a 4 if you look at the list. In my opinion, it can pass for either a 3.5 or 4*(in reality its a 3.75* hotel in a 5 star location). In that same theme, I think the Grand Wailea can pass for a 5*. But you must look at the amenities and/or see if its in review gatherng stage. It might be a new property

It would be so cool if 4 seasons popped up here(just dreaming)

Anyways, I think its important to report ALL the information on wins to allow Aaron & thereuare to compile uptodate lists for all of us to benefit from

I decided to add on a day at the Kaanapali Beach Club through the exchange to fill the day since the price difference was comparable. Thank you!
