Residence Inn Maui Wailea
The HawaiiGuide Read: The practical way into Wailea: an all-suite Residence Inn with kitchens and breakfast included, up the hill from the beach resorts. Around 4.6 across more than 1,000 reviews — above the island median and even with some of the beachfront names below it.
Best for: families and longer stays that want Wailea as a base without the resort production. Skip it if: you came for a beachfront resort experience — this is a smart base, not a destination, and the sand is a drive or a long downhill walk.
Our read: the best value math in Wailea for self-sufficient travelers; the score says nobody leaves feeling shortchanged. Context: our South Maui guide.
How we write these: we look at the performance data across the whole spectrum of Hawaii properties — guest ratings, review patterns, location, value — and tell you our honest findings. Some booking links earn us a commission at no cost to you; the read itself isn't for sale.
