The verdict

Who's travelling?

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

Wailea Grand Champions Villas offers spacious residential condos within walking distance of the Shops at Wailea and local dining. Guests appreciate the roomy villa layouts with two bathrooms, quiet lanai spaces, and low-key service with free parking. However, because units are individually owned, styling can be dated in some villas rather than modern. The property is also set back from the water rather than directly on the beach, requiring a short drive to reach the sand. 13364

  • Because this is a villa property, check-in is more low-key than a big resort lobby. The front desk had my villa ready, sorted my Globalist benefits, and pointed me toward the pools and grills without any fuss. 13
  • Service matched the residential feel of the property: helpful and low-pressure. 13

  • It is not on the beach, but it is a short walk to everything in Wailea, and Globalist perks like free parking and waived resort fees make it one of the best points values in Maui. 13
  • Award nights can start as low as 20,000 points, which is a remarkable rate for a full villa in Wailea when you compare it to what the beachfront resorts charge in both cash and points. 13
