Amazing resort

Stayed for ten days. Beautiful hotel. Large 3 bedroom with kitchen with amazing views of the ocean . Great pool and right next to the best beach in Kapalua! We played golf at the Kapalua Bay course and the plantation courses, both were amazing! We will stay again.

Absolutely incredible!

I rarely write reviews of any kind. However, considering some of the recent posts in Trip Advisor and the nature of out experience at the Montage, I felt it would be important to draft this one commentary. We were very reluctant to go to Hawaii. The COVID 19 pandemic certainly concerned us in general and the previous reports of short staffing , long lines and busy crowds almost led to our cancelling our trip. That being said, we had not travelled in a long time and planned on a very low key, low crowd vacation. Therefore, we took the leap and went. Our stay at the Montage was superb! Certainly one of the best experiences we have had staying at any resort anywhere. The first view of the ocean from the Montage main reception area should be your first Instagrammable moment. It was breathtaking ! We stayed at a two bedroom ocean view residence and the view of Lanai island was spectacular. There was plenty of room for our family of 4 and we made sure to allocate a part of each day to enjoy reading or just relaxing on our porch. Food at the resort was amazing. I expected standard resort food, but the breakfast at Cane and Canoe was ridiculously good. I highly recommend the French Toast or the Pancakes for those of a sweet tooth persuasion. The Energy Bowl and the Oats are great if your are seeking healthier fare. We also had a dinner at Cane and Canoe and this was equally good and filling. Prepare for larger portions than you may anticipate when ordering. Strongly recommend the Brussel sprouts. We had sushi at the Hideaway and it was as good or better than some of the take out we had ( e.g., Miso Phat ). Fries and drinks by the pool were delicious and, suffice to say, he had them repeatedly. Kudos to a lot of the servers. To name a few, Chris, Lindsey, Beth, Karen G and Melissa. Housekeeping was incredibly accommodating. We actually requested changes in housekeeping times twice and were promptly attended to in both instances. The swimming pool is beautiful and we did not feel crowded upon. It is true that our week was not a summer peak week and we may have had a more difficult time with chairs and such if we had gone during a different week. We heard a lot of talk about the infinity pools at the Andaz at Wailea and did stay there for one night. The Montage pools are way prettier. Kapalua Beach is small but snorkeling is great! I barely went into the water and saw 6 or 7 varieties of fish. My son and his girlfriend saw two turtles lazily swimming around at dusk. They were non stop excited about it for the subsequent two hours. Valets were great. When I turned in my rental car ( and a miracle it was to get one ) , I did not receive a slip. I asked how they would know which car was mine and the valet said that was not problem. And it was not. We went out a few times, and, each time, the car was available without any difficulty. If you have children, the valets allow you to feed the koi fish in the entrance pond. Great fun! The spa was beautiful and very peaceful. The therapists were very friendly and we all had a great experience as well. Make sure to visit the nearby Dragon's Teeth close to the Ritz Carlton Kapalua. Short trip, great rewards, beautiful pictures. The valets took us and fetched us in the hotel vehicle and it was so easy! Parking lot at the trailhead is limited. As to eating out, we tried Joey's Kitchen ( great! - garlic chicken major hit all around ) and Miso Phat ( not for the sushi purists or faint of heart ). In summary, one of the best stays of our lives. As a last remark, we made sure to acknowledge and thank everybody in the staff for their kindness and attention during this riling times. We were never shown anything other than true Hawaiian hospitality. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. - PS. Thanks to Jared, Gerry and other members of the front desk/concierge team and to so many other people that made this a one of a kind stay.…

Very nice hotel

The hotel is beautiful!! Amenities abre great, beautiful pool and the best sunsets ever!!! Something very odd happened to us, some of the staff was very nice , and some people of the staff was very rude, in cane and canoe restaurant the hostess was very rude, also the waiter!! Also one of the guys of the valet was very rude!! The food was good, but the best part was the rooms, we had a 3 bedroom room with kitchen and beautiful view!! They need a little bit of hospitality lessons!! Other that that the hotel is very good!!

Skip Maui

The property is beautiful but the service is average at best. I learned that staff keeps quitting including managers and it showed on the property. Garbage that was put there by housekeeping was left by our front door two nights in a row, the phone was not answered several times when we called for a variety of services and there were little to no dining options at the hotel and nearby. The closest beach is manned by "The Beach Shack" a privately owned operation that must charge the Montage for services provided to their guests. Their service is equally subpar and we were unable to get chairs one day and another day yelled (actually) for moving a chair. It was comical but certainly not five star. The people of Maui, and by extension the staff at the Montage, are not ready for visitors. Montage corporate should take a close look at this property. Their staff needs help and a daily walk on the property would show the many problems. We spent some time on the Big Island at the Four Seasons, Hualalai and it was exemplary. Go there instead. Check out USAToday July 11 article to get a sense of things in Maui right now, 'We get cussed at everyday:Maui tourist surge.'…
