No Kids, so that's not an issue!

We didn't love the reviews that we saw about the Wailea Beach Marriott (I think it was the lack of a beach on the property); and while we want to get out and explore the islands, we definitely want some balance of just sitting at the beach relaxing. Please let me know if i'm in the wrong here!
