No thanks. Super helpful tips in this thread. Are there time limits at the shops and beach parking?
And I consider valet parking to be one of the world's greatest gifts
. Especially in the heat. And you don't have to call down...we used it when we'd just go over to use the pools/beach and it was super quick. The valet parking lot is right next to the entrance and they have a gaggle of valets so the wait was never more than a minute or two.
Although we didn't have the expense this time, we have in the past and also at every other resort where we've ever stayed. It just is.
And yes the Shops at Wailea do have limited hours parking and I'm not even sure where "beach" parking would be, the resorts line the beach, I know the beaches are public but honestly have no idea where the public beach parking is.
Edit: found the public beach parking on Google maps...it's south of the GW, in between the GW and the FS, and according to google it's only open 7am to 7pm.
