Exactly-- they are charging it b/c they can, just like any other property that has mandatory valet.
It's definitely along the lines of what other Wailea properties charge:
Marriott: Self-parking- free (part of resort fee); Valet: $30
Grand Wailea: Valet: $30
Fairmont Kea Lani: Self-parking- $15; Valet: $25
Four Seasons: Valet: $22

One of the reviews on Tripadvisor mentions they play “clubish” music "ALL" night long in the common pool areas "which may be bothersome if your room is there". The image of the resort I had built up in my mind until reading this was of an architecturally interesting, luxurious resort with great rooms, views, and great staff. A place where you can hear the ocean.
That’s still probably all true, but I’m beginning to realize that my idealized version of what I want the Andaz Maui to be may, or may not be what it actually is. So... what exactly is the overall “vibe” of the resort?
I personally am looking for a quiet relaxed place (which it may be), not a “hip W hotel” sort of place (I'm not saying it is).
FWIW, I do like the other Andaz hotels I have stayed at (both of the NYC ones).

One of the reviews on Tripadvisor mentions they play “clubish” music ALL night long in the common pool areas (and Hawaiian music during the day). The image of the resort I had built up in my mind up until reading this was of an architecturally interesting, luxurious resort with great rooms, views, and great staff. Now I’m beginning to worry about the other side of the resort coin… loud music, noise and screaming kids running around. So… what is the overall “vibe”?
Stop worrying about such petty things.

Perfect way to go.^
How many nights are you staying?
Regarding the overall vibe of the resort.. I'm not good with words.. but perhaps 'contemporary eclectic' is a description? Can't comment on the music as it was shut off when we visited. But, it was certainly a lively atmosphere.. the staff there was having a great time around the pool, and while dining at Ka'ana.
