Just got my bill sent to me from my New Year's stay, found that they had some incorrect charges on my bill. Called and talked to the front desk and they were very quick to adjust it. One thing she did tell me was that as a diamond you can have room service, the person who checked me in said that you couldn't. I asked her to inform the whole staff so that diamond members can enjoy this benefit when they are there.

We are considering the Andaz Maui for our upcoming trip to Maui (we've never been) and we have a 9 year old (he will be when we travel). You mention that there are more kid-friendly hotels. Do you mind sharing which those are in so far as water slides and a kid's play area?

Also, how is the beach in front of the Maui Andaz? Is boogie boarding possible?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Also, I found the waves in front of Four Seasons to be very calm, compared to Andaz. People were still out and about, but the waves were more rough around Andaz. Adults should be able to handle the waves, but I don't recommend kids. Otherwise, beautiful beach all around.

We walked in the Four Seasons, walked by the Grand Wailea. They both had some pretty extensive slides/play area for kids. I'd take a look at those two hotels if that is of interest to you.

Fairmont Kea Lani has a water slide and an upper and lower pool for families to enjoy. I quite like Polo Beach that Beach Front Kea Lani as well. Will be interesting to try out the Andaz this year. We still might do a couple nights at Kea Lani.

I don't remember seeing Water Slides at the Four Seasons in the many years we've visited the property. Has this been a recent addition.

Spago's is an excellent place to dine. We typically stop there once a trip.

FS Maui has a tiny water slide at the kids' pool, but it's nothing to write home about. However, FS resorts are great with kids generally, which is why we always return. There's a game room, complimentary kids' club, good kids' options at the restaurants, etc.

Grand Wailea has essentially a water park for a pool area. It's the best of the bunch for water slides by a long shot.

Just returned a couple weeks ago if anyone is interested in reading my review.
Used a Diamond Suite Upgrade and was less than pleased with the "partial ocean view suite" but finally able to move to a real ocean view suite.
Recommend the suites ending in XX39 or XX40
Really impressed with the breakfast each morning at Ka’ana Kitchen.
