The ritz carlton is a beautiful resort and everything we hoed for our honeymoon. The location is a short drive from most of the action but that was what we wanted for our holiday. We stayed for 6 nights and would have Been happy not to leave the resort the whole thing. Service was fantastic and the staff always friendly... More

Stay on the club level. The hosts and hostesses in the lounge were very nice. Food and beverages were available all day long including wine and mixed drinks. We used Marriott points and Marriot platinum membership to get a late checkout for our stay. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Beautiful location. It is isolated from other restaurants and activities... More

Not the nicest ritz I've ever stayed at but the scenery more than makes up for it! Impeccable service, food, and amenities. Definitely will want to rent a car as kapalua is pretty isolated. Happy hour at the sushi place on karaoke night made the trip!

Having stayed at a number of Ritz Carlton properties, we were really looking forward to our stay in Kapalua, however this was probably the most disappointing of those we have stayed at. We were here for a 5 night stay in an ocean view room, and although the location was wonderful, our balcony was at the exact height of the... More

The staff was very nice and even upgraded us because we were getting married! The rooms are big with mini kitchen even a dishwasher, nicer than my house and clean clean clean. Love the bed, what a great nights sleep. My husband enjoyed the golf course. Such a relaxing place and felt safe to walk every where.

Hotel is a safe bet.. Location a little bit far out from the main drag of Marriot, Hyatt, Westin.. But all the better for it..beautiful setting.. Staff are great but the management? Invisible.. Apparently the latest batch are from Bachelor Gulch Colorado.. Thank goodness they won't be there when we go back on March 2014! . Mr Humler you need... More

My husband and I spent 5 nights at this little piece of heaven while on our honeymoon. It started when we drove up, the valet greeted us by name. I checked in and had a wonderful conversation with the front desk clerk, who gave us an upgrade to a suite since we were on our honeymoon. It was fantastic -... More

We are a young married couple with no kids (yet). We needed to relax. Came here first 6 nights of trip...then went to the Grand Wailea for 3 nights, which was crazy, expensive, dirty, old, had staff members who appear to hate their jobs, and it had unattended children everywhere. We wished we just stayed at the RITZ the entire... More

My wife and I recently stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. I booked a residential ocean view one bedroom suite through Amex Platinum Fine Hotels and Resorts. This included the fourth night free. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff. The hotel has a sort of non-pretentious and laid back luxury that we appreciated. Upon check in, we... More

This was my fourth trip to the islands and my first to stay in a hotel. We normally rent homes on the water and thought we would try something different this time. The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The grounds were manicured to perfection. Our room was a suite on the east side of the hotel down toward the water. The... More
