Maui Resort Hotels

Maui Resort Hotels
Maui is one of the most popular island destination in Hawaii. The year-round warm climate is ideal for outdoor recreation from snorkeling to golfing. The resort trade is alive and well in Maui, with many hotels offering special packages that will have you sitting pretty on a scenic golf course in the afternoon and sleeping soundly in comfortable beds in the evening. Even with all that water around you, getting yourself a resort with a great pool is advisable as a way to relax at the end of the day.

Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa

This massive resort is home to 765 guest rooms and 51 suites that feature air conditioning, Internet access, an honor bar and luxurious spa bath products. The rooms are very spacious with the average working out to almost 650 square feet. Golfers can even take a practice swing or two in good faith thanks to the high ceilings. Amenities include a full-service spa and a fitness center packed with the latest equipment. Recreation includes squash courses, racquetball courts, scuba clinics and a nearly 5,000 square foot pool for adults only and a 25,000 square foot water park for kids. Golfers can spend an entire week here hitting the five championship 18-hold courses or attending the David Leadbetter Golf Academy.

Ritz Carlton Kapalua

The Ritz Carlton Kapalua has rooms ranging from 400 square feet to suites in excess of 2500 square feet. Some rooms offer views of the lovely garden while others look over over the oceanfront. All rooms include large screen television sets, elegant wood floors, and Spa Fresh bathroom products. The fitness center is loaded and open around the clock and the spa treatments are everything to be expected from the name Ritz Carlton.

The rooms are spacious even with the kitchenette features included. The hotel refers to its 3.5-acre pool as a superpool and with good reason, making this an excellent choice for families.
