Great hotel, wonderful location!
Great service, great common areas. The best beach on Maui.

We cannot say enough about the Kea Lani. What a beautiful hotel. The service was incredible at every level. The grounds were so pristine and you could tell that the staff were so proud. We will definitely be returning.....hopefully sooner rather than later.

The only negative I can share about the Fairmont Kea Lani is having to leave. Fantastic service, beautful views in a spacious all suite property. I can't think of one complaint. We were there while renovation is going on but knew that ahead of time so the occasional sounds of construction were not annoying. Loved having so much room, it felt more like an apt than a hotel room. There are also villas available, which are larger than the suites and have private patios and pools. The grounds are beautifully kept, the pools are cool and refreshing and the beach, while public, is scenic and relaxing. The adult pool is a quiet escape but there is very little service there so if you want to have cool drinks and/or food delivery sit by the larger pool areas.
Suggestion- it would be so nice is a bar were located close to the beach since there is no service there.

This was our first stay at this resort, but it won't be our last! As other reviewers have noted, the public areas are sensational, as are the rooms. The location on Wailea is superb, and is a welcome change from the high-rise chaos of Kaanipali. We were fortunate to stay in a 2 bedroom villa right by the beach, with its own plunge pool and little courtyard. We felt so at home that we truly didn't want to leave. Each room was beautiful, each with its own large and beautifully appointed bathroom, and the beds were fantastically comfortable. Each and every staff member we spoke with was so friendly and helpful - they epitomised "aloha" - and as so many of them had been at the hotel for many, many years I can attest that they too are happy there. Being whale season, we were treated to innumerable sightings of whales breaching just off the beach, which was truly magical. Our kitchen was well-appointed, and when we arrived we were delighted to have a basket brimming with the essentials to get us started. The restaurant was lacking vegetarian options, however we found that the room service menu was more extensive, and we gladly enjoyed private dining in our courtyard every night. The public pools were very good, and we were especially glad to see a separate adults pool. We enjoyed the delights of the swim-up bar! Our family sail and snorkel to nearby Molokini was a highlight. All in all, we can't wait to return!
