"Excellent stay – perfect Maui getaway! We had an amazing 10-day stay at Maui Seaside Hotel from December 20-30, and it was the ideal base for our Hawaiian holiday adventure! The harborfront location on Kahului Bay is fantastic – direct access to the sandy beach for morning walks and relaxing by the waves, plus stunning ocean views from our room’s private balcony. The well-maintained grounds with tropical landscaping made it feel like a true island escape. We loved the amenities: • Refreshing outdoor swimming pool (perfect for cooling off after a day exploring) • On-site Tante’s Island Cuisine restaurant (delicious Hawaiian-inspired meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – we especially enjoyed the local flavors and craft cocktails) • Complimentary high-speed WiFi throughout the property • Free roundtrip airport shuttle (so convenient arriving and departing!) • Beach/pool towels and chairs • Laundry facilities The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable with modern touches, great air conditioning, and everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were outstanding – incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of aloha spirit, always ready with tips for the best spots on the island. This hotel offered incredible value with its central location (easy drives to Road to Hana, Haleakala, and more) and thoughtful perks. It made our trip truly memorable and stress-free. Highly recommend Maui Seaside Hotel – we’ll definitely be back! 5 stars all the way! Mahalo! A hui hou!"

"AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea was a great stay. The rooms are clean, modern, and comfortable, the pool area is beautiful, and the staff was consistently friendly and welcoming without trying too hard. The location is also a win. Easy walking distance to great shopping and plenty of nearby spots to eat, which made getting around simple and stress-free. Overall, a solid choice in Maui and an easy recommendation if you want comfort, style, and convenience without drama."

"amazing location facing the beach. Fun Pools that kids can’t not get out of. Only thing is it gets a bit crowded. Make sure to take your beach chairs spot early in the morning!"
