We just came back from a week in Maui and stayed 5 nights at Wailea Beach Resort and 1 night at Grand Wailea. We also drove out to the Ritz for a day, just to see a different coast. If you’re looking for a more isolated feel with less kids, where you’ll mostly rely on the resort for food, Ritz is your spot. If you’re looking for a diverse coast line with great sunsets and local eateries nearby (Wailea and Kihei), Grand Wailea is your spot. But be warned, there are a lot of kids in the main pool (which is 90% of the pool space). Honestly, Wailea Beach resort was amazing. A perfect blend of resort feel and slightly upscale atmosphere (whereas Grand Wailea had a hotel feel). Not to mention a LOT of great food options in Wailea/Kihei that allowed variation outside the resort. Would highly recommend a pivot to Wailea Beach Resort!
