The AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea offers a comfortable and beautiful stay in a great location. While not beachfront, it provides stunning ocean views and is a convenient 10 to 15-minute walk to both the beach and the Shops at Wailea. The hotel is noted for its quiet, relaxed vibe compared to larger, busier resorts. Rooms are consistently described as nice, spacious, very clean, immaculate, and updated, often with beautiful or stunning ocean views. The property features a really nice infinity pool with ocean views and lounge chairs, though it closes at 9pm. The poolside bar, Kai, is a highlight for its unforgettable sunset views, good drinks, and a standout chicken katsu sandwich, though food and drinks are considered expensive. A significant strength is the excellent and pleasant staff, with specific praise for the front desk service. Staff members are noted for providing great customer service, lots of information, and personal recommendations for food and sights, greatly enhancing guests' stays. The hotel is seen as a great mid-range value with no resort fees, offering larger rooms and excellent proximity to Wailea attractions.
We did the Doors Off Tour and it was so amazing. I highly recommend it! It’s a whole body experience of the beauty of Maui.

Wonderful tour and the captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining! Molokai was absolutely beautiful as well the private property we landed at Kahekili Highway.

If you do this ride with doors off it will change your life - you'll never be able to fly normally again without thinking how much better it would be without doors. Spend the extra and sit up front as well. The ride was incredible.
