The Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa is so much more than just a place to stay!!  The wonderful thing about the Grand Wailea is the appeal to every age & gender group.  Accommodations are luxurious, the food is award winning, the Spa is 50,000 square feet of relaxation, rejuvenation and wellness and there is a golf course!  What more could you want?

You want water!!  At the Grand Wailea the fun revolves around the ocean and the pools!  I have many clients who will book one or 2 nights at the Resort, just so they can play at the water park.  If the Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii is considered the Disneyland of Hawaii, the Grand Wailea is definitely the Wet and Wild of Maui!  Waterslides are big favorites.  With the wild Lava Slide with its 238 feet long drop of 3 stories or the Ana Puka Slide, a bit smaller, but takes you in a complete circle, with its 360-degree turn, will have you feeling like a teen-ager again.    My favorite is the Rapids Slide, with the whitewater rapids!  The water park area also features the only water elevator in the world, a rope bridge (watch those boys….they love to make it swing!) and 4 tile slides.

When the excitement of the pools tires you out: you can order a drink from the swim-up bar, order a massage poolside, or take a refreshing sauna.  How about a pedicure, or a henna tattoo, pool side! These spa services (and more) are available and you won’t even have to move out of your pool lounge.

The Grand Wailea also offers use of the Spa Grande cardio vascular and strength training facilities, as well as sunrise power walks, yoga, and water aerobics to help you stay in shape.  The Spa Grande, also offers nearly every spa treatment imaginable.
Families are often annoyed that at most hotels/resorts connecting rooms are not guaranteed.  Not at the Grand Wailea:  they will guarantee connecting rooms.  What a refreshing concept for families.  Also, Hawaii has passed a non-smoking law similar to Washington’s.  All rooms at the Grand Wailea are non-smoking and any smokers will be asked to smoke on the lanais or other designated areas.

Room choices at the Grand Wailea vary from the standard room, or the Terrace category, the Napua Club rooms, which offer upgraded amenities such as continental breakfast and evening cocktails.  Many rooms offer unobstructed ocean views, or views of the tropical gardens.  Two bedrooms accommodations are also available.

You will probably need to check out the fitness facility after that gourmet meal at the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a  Restaurant.  There are several other restaurants available, too.    Oh, and you can get food at the pool, too!

Thinking of a wedding in Maui?  The Grand Wailea has its own seaside wedding chapel, and a beautiful gazebo as well as the beach or gardens to host your wedding.  This year they are offering a special “Take it to the Nines” wedding package, with free nights, discounted rooms, and discounts on catering or other wedding services.  You would also have the services of the Grand Wailea wedding coordinators.

Grand Wailea, as you can see, if a resort that caters to families, weddings, honeymooners, and couples needing some time away from it all!  If this sounds like your kind of vacation, please give our office a call or email me at sandi@totemtravel.com.
