The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Wailea Beach Villas is a gated condo property offering spacious residential units with gourmet kitchens and large lanais. It excels at providing quiet, high-end accommodations along the oceanfront boardwalk, backed by responsive concierge service. However, there are no on-site restaurants or bars, requiring guests to self-cater or walk to adjacent resorts. Certain units also pick up noise from work trucks or music from neighboring luaus. 25315

What travelers noticed
- The individually owned villas stand out for their spacious layouts, cavernous bathrooms with soaking tubs, and well-stocked gourmet kitchens with outdoor BBQs. 215
- Guests praise the gated location, which places them steps from the Shops at Wailea and right on the beach boardwalk. 21614
- Lanais offer exceptional vantage points for whale watching, sunsets, and panoramic views of the West Maui mountains and sister islands. 1946
- The concierge team and front staff earn high marks for seamless check-in and handling special requests like baby gear or in-room massages. 12
The catch
- While some travelers consider the resort an excellent value for large groups, others find the per-night rates exceptionally expensive. 187
- Many guests enjoy the peaceful residential atmosphere, but villas located near the Marriott or service areas can get noise from work trucks and evening luau music. 23

Food
89- “But with the views from our Wailea Beach Villas penthouse and all of its amenities-including the large dining table and kitchen enjoying those views, who wanted to sit in a restaurant on a night such as this?” 5
- “Penthouses and back buildings mean a longer walk and stairs to the beach (golf cart rides help); the family pool isn't oceanfront; there's no on-site bar/restaurant (most guests self-cater or walk to the Shops).” 2
Location
98- “Beautiful Property and Perfect Location Our family enjoyed staying at this beautiful property! Our family enjoyed staying at this beautiful property! The location couldn't have been better.” 14
- “The location was perfect with access to the Wailea shops, restaurants and beaches all within an easy walk.” 14
Noise
90- “The condos themselves are a major draw for families and groups: spacious, quiet, and well maintained, with gourmet, well-stocked kitchens (often two refrigerators), outdoor BBQs, large lanais, and comfortable bedding.” 2
- “Travelers looking for quiet beauty on the beach will love the tranquil surroundings of the Wailea Beach Villas.” 3
Room
98- “Sure, the garden-view master suite had a lovely king bed and carved Hawaiian furnishings with the third of the flat screen TVs, but the draw for everyone in my family-in spite of the children's bathroom having its own soaking tub-was the oval soaking tub with a faucet that reminded some of an early telephone.” 5
- “No detail had been forgotten. We had a 3 bedroom, 3 and a half bath unit and I couldn't believe how spacious this condo was!” 18
Service
95- “The staff was amazing, so welcoming and friendly. I felt like a queen for the weekend! Every want I had was met, within reason of course!” 6
- “Guests love the unbeatable location-gated and safe, steps to the Shops at Wailea on one side and the beach path on the other-plus excellent concierge and friendly staff.” 2
Bed & Sleep
97- “The bed was very comfortable as were all the beds. There is also a large soaking tub in the master bath.” 14
Value
90- “This resort is definitely expensive and way more than I normally would pay per night to stay anywhere, but if you have an opportunity to go there even for a weekend, grab some friends and relatives and do so!” 18
- “I find the fs in Maui to be among the most overpriced in terms of all the resorts there and in the four seasons complex as a whole (having stayed at a large number of them).” 7
