A fantastic hotels for couples

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 6, 2019
I was blown away my my experience at the Andaz.

The customer service is exceptional: every single staff member to whom we spoke was beyond excellent, going out of their way to be thoughtful and accommodating. This started with an incredibly warm welcome at check in, and continued to everyone on the restaurants, bars, and housekeeping teams.

This is the only resort fee I've ever been happy to pay for: each morning, we had a fantastic free activity that I'd value at over the cost of the fee: the stand up paddleboarding over the reef, outrigger canoeing, and kayaking were all fantastic experiences lead by charming, lovely staff who seemed to really enjoy what their jobs.

We stayed from a Wednesday to a Saturday, so we seemed to avoid most children. (They seem to prefer the bottom pool anyway, leaving the upper two pools to be rather quiet and lovely.)

I do wish the hotel would stop people from grabbing pool chairs at 530am for the day; there should be a policy that says "unattended pool chairs for more than an hour will be cleaned and have their items removed." We got to the pools early each day, but I did see some guests frustrated when there was nowhere quiet left to sit.

The rooms are similar to what you might find at a W Hotel--great, generously sized bath amenities and an awesome shower, with a bed I found comfy--but I don't think parents will find the the high end design convenient for kids, or if they brought a lot of stuff. I think that's a good thing--sorry mom and dad, this place should remain an adults-oriented hotel.

That said, our "partial ocean view" room was spectacular, with what I would consider a full ocean view towards West Maui. The in room drinks and snacks were a nice touch, too. I was also a huge fan of the water dispensers near the elevators; no $6 bottled water here!

We booked through American Express fine resorts, which gave us some extra privileges; if you can, I recommend booking this way, too. Specifically, the daily breakfast buffet was free via Amex, except for taxes and gratuity. (The meal would otherwise cost upwards of $70 per person. It is spectacular, better than any high end Vegas buffet I've ever had, but it would be a lot to pay daily.)

The live music during sunset at night outside was an amazing way to end each day.

We love Maui and exploring it, but this hotel just really allowed us to put our feet up, relax, and not leave. It's the perfect size, with spectacular amenities and a best-in-the-biz staff.

Reviewed September 6, 2019

Customer service, design elements and overall food quality of the restaurants was solid to excellent. But some of the basics need work. The fact that the closets and doors in a suite do not close/have a true closing mechanism but rather need to be leaned on to close and most of the time would pop right open is absolutely unacceptable. The fact that half the elliptical machines were always glitching so you couldn't properly use them (for an entire week) is absolutely unacceptable at this price point. The fact that the AC went from causing the room temperature to go from "not cool enough" to "ice box" in one degree of difference is absolutely unacceptable. The bed being rather uncomfortable is absolutely unacceptable. The lack of a flat surface on which to place toiletries in the bathroom is absolutely unacceptable. There are too many basic things that you should never even have to think about as a guest that we had to put up with or devote time to during our stay. That is not relaxing, that is a chore. You have great people working there and the design/layout is great....but the other stuff makes the bigger difference.

Would 10/10 recommend. The food was outstanding. The Staff was very friendly and were able to give useful information about planning excursions. The resort is not only breathtaking, but the rooms are amazing and clean. Definitely plan on coming back for sure!

Arriving at the Andaz upon sunset is a surreal experience and the accompanying welcome was warm and genuine. The vista from the lobby across the multiple pools, the band warming up, sun warming down, was instantly enveloping.
Entering the room, it took a while for our eyes to adjust from the moody hallways, but the bright, fresh palate matched white sandy beaches of the Island.
Critique:
• Valet only parking at $35/night when (1) the lot is visible and (2) it takes a while to retrieve your car (the valet cost was more than the rental on a new convertible).
• Only one hook to hang a towel.
• The toilet door wouldn’t close. If you gave it a hard yank, it would scrape its way to some kind of middle ground, but that’s both disruptive and unreassuring.
• Above the bed, a strip of the ceiling had been patched with filler, but not painted.
• There was no way to play music in the room.
• Sound insulation is weak (crying kids on one side and a rampant pacer upstairs at 6am).
• Only one side of the bed had a power outlet.
• No toe caps on doors. For any guests with feet, watch out!
• The fridge was bare (ok, it contained three sugary drinks, but nothing beats a cold beer on arrival).
• While both are talented, the never-ending Ed Sheeran v Bruno Mars soundtrack wears thin.
At $900 a night, you get to be picky, right? It was still great. Comfy bed, wonderful pools, fantastic beach and the food is ok. I’d love to think I’ll return, but the value equation isn’t right for round II.

Great resort and services. Can't recommend this place enough, if you are looking for an amazing pool and view. Because we are vegetarians, the food options were extremely limited for us and the restaurant and drinks are definitely pricey. Everyone from the front desk, to restaurant servers were amazing but I do want to callout 2 people who really stood out with their hospitality - Julia from the Concierge and Danielle from Kaa'na Kitchen. With a smile on their face at all times, these two definitely went above and beyond to help us out while always maintaining a big smile.
You can really know the difference in services, the resort fees totally provides a ton of additional activities, like Paddle boarding lessons, Canoeing, using go pro, yoga sessions, and much more.
The rooms could definitely be slightly bigger, given it's a very high end property. It's definitely cramped, and we were just 2 people. I can only imagine people travelling with kids.
Breakfast buffet - It's huge, but because we are vegetarians, we had limited options.
Overall a 5/5 for the view, 4/5 for food, 3/5 for room, 5/5 for service and 4/5 for value.

We didn't originally plan on staying at the Andaz, but due to an AirBnb issue, we had to look for somewhere to stay at the last minute. It turned out to be a BIG blessing in disguise. We absolutely loved our stay there and wish we could have stayed longer.
