Tu alojamiento en Kapalua

We had an incredible stay at the Montage! The service is impeccable from the moment you arrive. The rooms are enormous and equipped with full kitchens and washers/dryers (plus all the soap you need). That was such a nice feature as we were traveling with a 3 year old. The housekeeping team is amazing, doing twice daily cleaning and always leaving us tons of clean towels. The concierge team expertly fielded my many requests, including helping with spa reservations, getting a rollaway bed in our room, and connecting us with an instructor for swim lessons for our daughter. The in room dining team could not have been nicer, and they always delivered food very quickly. We had two incredible dinners at Cane and Canoe (they just rolled out a new menu that was fantastic). The poolside drinks were delicious (but pricey), and the poolside staff were so friendly. The bay bordering the hotel has great snorkeling. The hotel also has a shuttle system where they give you rides in the Kapalua area in their Cadillac SUV, which was so convenient. I had an amazing massage. The only negative was the poolside lunch food was hit or miss. We would absolutely stay here again.

Nos encantaba la estancia. Super limpio con todas las comodidades. Nuestros niños adultos permanecieron en una unidad adyacente para poder visitarnos fácilmente (condos de patio). La vista del patio era del campo de golf con el océano en vista. Usando el barco era grande, así que no tenía que conducir a ninguna zona del complejo (la playa, las compras). ¡Recomendamos muy bien las villas de golf!

My husband and I first stayed at the Mauian in 2010. That trip was memorable and we declared that the Mauian would become our special home away from home for years to come. Since then, we have stayed on several occasions and have also tried a few other properties on the island. However, something always brings us right back to this spot.  We returned this week for the first time after a few year hiatus. Somethings have not changed at all while we discovered a few new inconveniences/annoyances.  What we love about the Mauian.... - the proximity to the beach. If you are in the ocean or partial ocean view rooms, you can literally step onto the sand within a minute of leaving your unit. That also means each unit has a stunning view of Napili Bay.  - the old school Hawaiian vibe. The 2 story building has that old school, rat pack vibe. The grounds are lush and the rooms are tastefully decorated in traditional Hawaiian colors. The ambience here is perfection.  - the beach itself is beautiful (though has changed over the years and is a bit steep). However, on a calm day I can't think of a more beautiful place to snorkel, float or stand up paddle board. - the recent addition of AC in the rooms! Definitely helps for those units that are in the afternoon sun. We enjoyed having the AC on until nightfall and then opening the windows to sleep with the breeze and sounds of the waves.  - there is a small breakfast served daily (which has also changed over the years and is now scaled back quite a bit). We use the breakfast to supplement our own breakfast items that we cook in the room. You can expect toast, fruit, juice and hard boiled eggs.  Things we don't love about the Mauian.... - the parking situation (which has gotten worse over the years). There are more units than parking spots. The add to that, there is no parking inforcement and I counted a handful of cars parked in spots this morning that didn't have a Mauian parking permit. Other guests were literally parking behind and blocking cars in (even though the Mauian recommends street parking).  - the walls are thin, which usually isn't an issue, this time however we were next to a screaming baby and inconsiderate people that don't know how to use their indoor voices.  - the beach has gotten busy and we felt pressure to go down early every morning and set up our chairs and towels (which made me feel like we were at a cheap all inclusive, minus the ”all inclusive” part).  Overall, for the price this place is a gem. In the ten years we've been coming to Maui, the nightly rates have doubled on the island. However, compared to hotels in Wailea (re: the Andaz - which I liked) the rate here is still half the price. We will obviously be back (but I'll likely pack ear plugs). 

Esta es una habitación de lujo con vista al mar por dos noches el 27 y 28 de diciembre. La habitación promedio por noche es de más de 8.500 yuanes. :( Muy sin palabras 😓 El hotel explicó que parados en el balcón con vista al mar podemos ver el mar, de verdad, tenemos que levantar los dedos de los pies.

Planificamos al ir a Hawaii 4 dias en Honolulu y 4 en Maui. Pensábamos pasear por Maui. Pero encontramos que el Napili Sunset Beachfront resort no lo permite: estás sobre la playa. Podés dejar tus cosas en el parque frente a tu habitación e ir sin nada a una de las playas de Maui para hacer snorkel. Como máximo bajar una toalla que te entregan en recepción. El cuarto es una habitación y un living con una mesada con equipamiento de cocina completo. Teniamos salida directa al jardin con las reposeras. Y dos salidas a la playa. Para mejor hay una parrilla a gas en el jardín con la que hicimos varios asados. El local de alquiler de snorkel está cruzando la calle. El único detalle inhabitual y que baja la calificación es el no tener aire acondicionado y solo ventiladores. Estos ayudan pero no son ideales para el nivel del resort. Las distancias en la isla son grandes.. Desde el aeropuerto hasta el complejo con unos 52km. Nos recomendaro mucho ir a Hana. este lugar está a dos horas del aeropuerto en dirección opuesta a Kapalúa, que es donde está el resort. Por eso digo que no ayuda. Quizás si la intención es recorrer convendría un lugar mas central en la isla donde sea obligatorio ir a a explorar las playas o lugares de interés.
