Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui

We loved staying here! Ko’s food was very underwhelming but the rest was great!

Beautiful re-do of this hotel! Service was terrific, food & drink good, but overpriced. Our room overlooked a parking lot, & had lots of kitchen smells. We could have upgraded to ocean view, but were already paying over $1000.00 per night. Their signature restaurant Ko was good.

My sanctuary, my happy place. The Ocean view is lovely and the renovations almost (I said almost) make spending this crazy amount of money worth it. $64.00 for 2 pina coladas poolside before tip was painful as I am not on my ERAS tour. Have been here 11 times now, used to stay 10 days but now we can only do 5. Sad face. :( Current staff couldn't be nicer. Breakfast buffet speaks for itself. Wish there was a piano player somewhere on premises or more entertainment . Hope to return again. I always cry when it is time to leave, but I painted a watercolor of my view and keep it on my kitchen wall to look at everyday. First photo is of my watercolor painting of the view from one of my stays at Kei Lani.

The Fairmont Kea Lani is the best of the Wailea resorts. The property is sprawling and beautifully maintained. The lobby and common areas have been wonderfully renovated. The rooms have also been renovated and are incredibly spacious and comfortable. Oceanview rooms are incredible. The brunch, for the price, needs to step up a notch or two. The brunch at the nearby Four Seasons is slightly less expensive and markedly better. But otherwise the food at Ko was fantastic. The pool was wonderful and the resort has one of the best beaches in Wailea. While our stay was pricey, that’s Maui and, even moreso, that’s Wailea. We loved our 4 night getaway.

The grounds, rooms and staff were all outstanding. I love that you can use the pool or spa, anytime of day or night.

As a final tour location , this was the best and largest room I have stayed. 2 closets, large bathroom and bedroom space. It is pricey for everything. At least there is washer and dryer on each floor with water refill stations. Restaurants were nice. Great ambiance.

Had an awesome time on a 4 day getaway. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

The Fairmont Kea Lani is THE place to stay to enjoy the wonderful paradise that is Maui. We stayed in the Ocean View Suite, and it exceeded our expectations when it comes to a comfortable and luxurious stay. They have delicious options when it comes to dining and the seafood was so fresh. The service was stellar from the pool to the house keeping staff. Anywhere you look you have stunning views. My face hurts because I have been non stop smiling my entire stay.

What a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Kea Lani! We stayed for 6 nights in a Signature Oceanview Suite, and it was magnificent. The room was newly renovated and modern in design. The bathroom was really large and had lots of amenities and extra touches. The lanai provided a great view of the sea, sunsets, and some color at sunrise. The housekeeping staff were amazing. The breakfast buffet was a highlight! There were lots of traditional offerings as well as caprese, upcountry greens, steak/onions, asparagus, poke, noodles, fried rice, etc. The service was great every day--.as an iced tea drinker, them providing a carafe at the table was so appreciated. We spent time at the adult pool and in chairs on the lawn. The chairs by the adult pool were a bit too close together for our liking-- we would have spent more time there if we had a bit more room. We also thought the chairs around the adult pool weren't as nice as the family pools, which was odd. The lawn chairs were basic lounge chairs and could use an upgrade as well. We were surprised and a bit disappointed that pool food/drink service didn't start until 11am. The lunch offerings around the pool were underwhelming but we found more options in the market so didn't have to go far. We walked the beach front trail every morning and loved that access! We spent a little time at the beach and it was nice. The water stations everywhere on people were amazing, always full and so appreciated! The courtesy car was amazing as we took it several times. We used valet parking and had amazing service. I mean, when you are already paying this much for a hotel, the $40 extra per night isn't worth fussing over and finding a space in self park seemed a bit difficult when we drove through the lot. We ate at the lobby bar/restaurant for a late afternoon snack, and it has a great view. We aren't sushi fans and wished the menu was a bit broader. Sushi-forward is one thing, but a hotel lobby bar shouldn't be pretty much exclusively sushi menu in order to appeal to the majority of people.
