Maui, Marriott or Renaissance
 

Ive read the earlier posts. Has anyone been there latley. I presently have reservations at both in mid-September. Need to cancel one. Have fond memories of the Ren when it was the Stouffers. Help

Do you mean the Wailea Marriott right next to the Renaissance or the one in Kanapali?

I would choose Renaissance over either Marriott. Waliea is classier and less touristy than Kaanapali--and prefer the location of Renaissance versus Wailea Marriott (Reniassance has its own gorgeous beach). In defense of Wailea Marriott--rooms have recently been upgraded--just be sure you are getting a refurbished room since I am not sure of renovations are complete.

We stayed at Wailea Marriott last week. Rooms are redone and are very nice. However, nothing else is completed. Couldn't hear construction noise at all. If you're big into hotel amenities and hotel restaurants, you'll be dissapointed until renovations are complete. However, If you don't plan on shopping or eating at the hotel much and walking 5 minutes to a beach (either towards Renaissance or the opposite way towards Grand Wailea, Four Seasons, etc..), this property can't be beat IMHO. We paid for an ocean view and got upgraded to ocean front and were literally 50 feed from the ocean.

I cannot believe that they are still renovating. I stayed at the Grand Wailea in 2000 and went over to check out the property. They were just starting their 40 million renovation. (The pool was a mess then)

Going for 1 week the last week of November. Any promotions or discounts available?

It is kind of unbelievable.

Pools have not been touched.

Shops are all closed (makeshift sundry shop is open)

1/4 of parking garage is full of inventory for room remodels that are still to be completed

I read somewhere they're having problems getting permits from Maui County to work on the pools but I have no idea if that's true or not.
