Hotel News: After the completion of a $50 million renovation, the Grand Wailea Resort in Maui, Hawaii is even more luxurious than before, reinstating its reputation as one of the most popular tropical vacation hotspots in the world. The entire resort was refreshed and updated, from the tiles of the activity pool to the shampoo stations at Spa Grande.

Guestrooms and suites are spacious and comfortably appointed, meant as havens for you and your family after a busy day on the beach, at the pool or on the golf course. All the rooms have been refurbished with brand new flat screen televisions and the bathrooms have been enhanced with new frameless shower enclosures, which compliment the large soaking tubs.

Apart from the guestrooms, the resort offers world-class amenities in their suite and villa options for discerning travelers looking for a home away from home in one of the most beautiful island destinations on earth. 52 suites are designed with your complete comfort in mind; outstanding views of the Pacific Ocean, up to 5,500 square feet of personal space, lavish furnishings and even a grand piano in their grand suites.

But guests visiting the Grand Wailea Resort do so for more than just the unparalleled room accommodations: those are a bonus when compared to their unique location in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii. Nestled into 40 lushly landscaped acres of tropical paradise, you are put face-to-face with Mother Nature at her most indulgent.

Whether you are called Oceanside or poolside, the view will not disappoint. The world-class pools consist of the tranquil Hibiscus Pool, reserved for adults only, and the multi-faceted Wailea Canyon Activity Pool. The 4,850 square foot Hibiscus Pool is named for the giant mosaic of a Hibiscus flower at the bottom, made from over 630,000 pieces of Mexican glass mosaic tile. Total, the pool contains over 2.2 million individual tiles and features two Jacuzzis, making it perfect for a tranquil dip in the afternoon.

Children will love the Activity Pool, which is actually a network of nine free-form pools at six levels, connected by a river that carries swimmers along from one niche to another. Jungle pools, tile slides, a whitewater rapids slide, a Tarzan pool with a rope swing and the world’s only water elevator set the resort apart as the ideal destination for an unforgettable island escape.

With five championship golf courses, Spa Grande, hailed as one of the Top Ten Spas in the US, and the beautiful beaches of Hawaii, every member of your family will find something at the resort to fall in love with. After one visit, it will be hard to keep yourself from returning year after year.
