Wow the breakfast has been downgraded to continental only? Is this temporary while construction is going on? A big reason we're choosing to stay here is because of the Plat benefit. Very disappointing.

What about valet parking? Was reading that Plat/Titanium members get waived valet parking fee.

Isn't the hotel closed due to COVID-19?

I have been looking at a trip to Maui for 2021. Came across this which I found interesting.
The newly renovated rooms in the Beach Tower now come with lounge access. Just too bad they literally want over a 1,000,000 points for a 5 night stay!
This hotel would be appealing if status granted access to the lounge- but pretty sure that's not the case.Ocean View Double Queen Room

If I recall after speaking with the GM, the recent construction included a new, private lounge exclusively for the Beach Tower rooms. That was pre COVID, so I don’t know if construction finished or if or when it will open, and if it does what quality it will be given.. COVID.

To me, hotel lounge in the US is roughly the same as no lounge at all. (Of course, with some exception like RC lounges.)
sunil and asnovici like this.

Booked a - Ocean Tower - Aina View, Guest room, 1 King or 2 Double, Balcony - for September 2021 for 210.000 points (5 nights) which seems to be the standard room and then reservation says that I cannot apply my 5 SNAs.

However, if I take a room that is 400 USD upgrade charge and 210.000 points I can suddenly apply SNAs.

Is this a permitted practice by Bonvoy, to put limitations on SNA applicability based on if you are willing to spring for an upgrade charge? Find this very odd, to say the least ...

Westin Maui - Hokupaa

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the new Hokupaa tower at the Westin Maui. Experience?

Are titanium given upgrades and/or access to the lounge?

Similar experience for me, booking the cheapest room with cash doesn't offer SNA upgrades, next category up does. This seems against the spirit of SNAs

I am debating this hotel (platinum) vs. Hyatt Regency Maui (GOH with Globalist benefits). Curious how they may compare? Both are renovated recently, but it sounds like breakfast is better at Hyatt.

You’ll get more at the Hyatt as a Globalist.

Was in similar situation. Can not apply SNA for a reservation made with points months ago. But I just checked now and website allow SNA request.

Anybody know if Westin offers late checkout for elite? I understand they are not obligated to do so being a resort. Thanks.
