[@jimmyjames6492]

Looked amazing! Hope you enjoyed the stay. Especially liked the tip about where to eat at breakfast at the Grand Wailea to maximize the Diamond benefit. Thanks for the info + video.

I appreciate this review a ton! Going there in three weeks for my honeymoon and hoping for the same upgrade!

Did the Wailea Shops cafe trigger the $50 breakfast credit? I’m currently staying at the peppery and they gave me a list of restaurants that would cover the credit and the shops wasn’t on it.

The Café at the end of the shops triggered the credit during our stay. We had breakfast there 3 times and it worked.

Can travelers that aren’t guests at the hotel walk around the grounds and go sit at the beach there?

[@PointsTravelTechAustria]

You can enter the compound and walk around the hotel and garden but you need a wristband for the pool and beach area which is given out to guests.

Thank you so much! @@PointsTravelTechAustria

Great I was looking forward to staying at this resort! But this guy is talking about how "expensive" everything is and how everything is "just okay" is I'm regretting my choice

[@PointsTravelTechAustria]

I‘m not aiming to dampen any expectations, simply stating my experiences and opinions. This is a luxury property, of course things are expensive, but „expensive“ can be quite subjective. And even if this rooms aren‘t the newest, we still had a wonderful time, and I‘m sure you will too! Have a good trip!

@C'Mon Man 😂 Bro I was thinking the same thing! My wife and I watched this video this morning and her immediate thought/reaction was did we the correct decision booking this?

I booked a flight to Maui from Oahu - I live in Hawaii and I wanted to help support Maui's economy after the wildfires. We were supposed to go the second week of October, when Maui opens up to tourists but every single hotel is ridiculously priced, even the one by Kahului airport - $2,000 for two night's stay. The online price says $350 but after all the taxes, fees, service charges, your $700 room turns into a 2K room. I checked all over Maui including VRBOs, all over a thousand so I cancelled my trip. I am going to the Big island instead. I think I would just rather make a donation than going to Maui - the rental cars and airfares were cheap but the hotels are just over my budget.

Hey brother I'm a diamond member as well. I was wondering how did you get the room for 70000 points a night right now? It's Showing 110000 per night.

[@PointsTravelTechAustria]

It was 95.000 a night which is the „standard“ rate. As we paid with points, the 5th night was free, that adds up to the 380.000 points total. You found dates with a non standard (higher rate) you need to keep looking for availability with 95.000.

[@travish8399]

@@PointsTravelTechAustria The standard points rate is now 110k points per night, not 95k. Just an FYI...

[@PointsTravelTechAustria]

That’s too bad. Thanks for the info!

Nice video but once you visit Dubai, nothing else compares the most basic rooms are mind blowing!
