"I recently stayed at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa and overall had a great experience. The resort is beautiful, with amazing views, well-kept grounds, and a peaceful atmosphere that truly reflects the spirit of Maui.
The buffet breakfast was a highlight. The food was fresh and varied, with tropical fruits, pastries, and hot items that made each morning feel special. Even without made-to-order omelets, the quality was excellent.
Valet parking stood out as well. The staff were friendly and professional, often asking if we needed help with luggage rather than just taking it, which felt thoughtful and respectful. That said, the valet process itself was inconvenient. Instead of linking cars to room numbers, they use a random number tied to the key. If you do not have it when calling down, they cannot retrieve your car, which caused some frustration.
While most of the staff were polite, the overall service did not quite match the VIP-level warmth I have experienced at other Hawaiian resorts. I usually feel more genuinely welcomed elsewhere.
Still, the resort has a lot to offer. With a few improvements to service and guest experience, it could easily be a top-tier stay. I would definitely consider returning."
"Loved everything about it. Nicely appointed and updated room and phenomenal location with everything we needed activity-wise within walking distance. Will be staying here again in the future. "
"Room was amazing. Two queen beds in the guest room for our kids to have their own bed and a king in the master. 2 bathrooms and a outside patio that wrapped around providing a view of the mountains and ocean. Resort was clean and staff was very kind and helpful. Would go back as soon as we can"
"The ocean view room was stunning, interior staff amazing. The only complaint we had was the pool waiters rarely came around and so we had to frequent the actual bar all week when we wanted food or a drink. "
