“Wonderful place”

Reviewed June 14, 2013 NEW

This is a very nice resort and the renovations are really great. Loved the marina area and looking at all the boats and water from our harbor view room (it's worth the upgrade). Very peaceful grounds and nice staff. Didn't get a chance to use the spa since we were so busy. This was a very enjoyable visit and we'll... More

“Where are my shoes?”

Reviewed June 9, 2013

My very nice Sam Edelman flats were taken out of my room. New owner? Hmmmm? Room had vague scents of cigarette smoke, masked by beige paint and room deodorizer. Little cafe which sells Starbucks coffee was a nightmare. Barista coughing all over the espresso machine. Long lines to get your coffee. Don't order anything like a latte there. It will... More

“Nice but not exceptional and pricey!”

Nice experience. Good service but could improve on staff speaking to guests more professionally. Hotel is nice but quite pricey. Spa was nice and relaxing. Massage therapists could be more professional and accommodating as well. Food delivered to spa pool was nice touch. Could offer a better Malbec wine.

MarlaLovesMaui, Thank you for your review of the Abbey Resort. Excellent guest service is of utmost importance to us and I am sorry that we did not live up to your expectations. We are reviewing this matter with our staff and hope that you will find a different experience during a future stay with us. I am glad you were... More

“Nice place for a getaway but skip the babysitting”

Reviewed May 30, 2013

We stayed here in April with our two kids ages 2 and 4. The hotel was nice. The rooms were small but clean. I had read about the kids activities on the internet so I was excited perhaps too excited as most were a letdown. I had called the babysitting service number several times (most of the time I talked... More

“"Nice..." but not "Exceptional"”

Reviewed May 28, 2013

My husband and I went here over Memorial Day Weekend, and stayed for two nights. I tend to divide my reviews into "PROs," "CONs" and "Things to Know." PROs: 1) The bed was extremely comfortable, and for as small as the rooms were, we felt they were well furnished and nicely decorated. 2) The Staff was very friendly; we were... More

First time staying here over the Memorial Day weekend. In spite of the mild rainy weather the stay was pleasant. There is a little bit of something for everyone.

“Don't stay here when not peak season!”

Reviewed May 15, 2013

They are doing maintenance all over the property. I understand it has to be done but they should have closed for a week or let us know at booking! It's ridiculous! I brought my 96 year old aunt for a few days of R&R and there are elevators down, doors blocked with scaffolding, and caution tape wrapped around various areas... More
