I mean - it’s Starbucks. I stopped by after a morning walk. It wasn’t too busy, the barista was attentive and the drinks were out quickly. I got a matcha latte with almond milk and sugar feee vanilla and it was perfect.

The pros for this location are that it is really the only Starbies along the Wailea Beach stretch of resorts. This means if you are a Starbucks loyalist or addict, you have an opportunity to satisfy yourself with a consistent experience if you are visiting here. The cons for this location are that it is really the only Starbies along the Wailea Beach stretch of resorts. This means you will be held hostage to resort pricing for your consistent experience if you are visiting here. Located in the row of lobby shops at the Marriott Beach Resort, I like that it opens fairly early for the jet-lagged masses and they also run a small remote counter just outside the shop serving plain drip coffee during peak morning rush hours since the inside store lines can be long when busy. But the lines are managed well with several roped stanchions herding you through, a lot like an amusement park line for a popular ride. The small interior is standard Starbucks with cheerful staff but it is busy and loud enough during rush hours that it would not be a place that you would choose to work or socialize unless you enjoy the risk of the masses overhearing your conversation or seeing what you are working on.The real reason I am giving this a mediocre rating is simply because it is so much more expensive than it should be. For reference, a Grande (medium) black coffee at a suburban, fly over Minnesota shop runs $3.20 with tax. That seems to me to be already expensive for a standard cup of coffee. At this Maui location, it will set you back $5.08 all in. I do get that it is in a expensive tourist resort zone, but it really is close to a 60% markup for a simple cup of coffee which seems abusive. However, I guess we are the foolish ones for paying it and they are the smart ones for charging it knowing that people are likely to pay it once they walk in the store.It is nice to have a decent cup of coffee to enjoy the morning while on vacation. I just wish it didn't hit the wallet so hard.

Supporting a genocide on an island that was taken over from natives is definitely an interesting choice.

A few things to address here based on some of the reviews, as well as our personal experience.First, for whatever reason, it does not show up on a Yelp search, but it is nicely tucked into the lobby of the Wailea Beach Resort.Second, depending upon your experiences with baristas and other coffee shops, including other Starbucks locations, you will appreciate the feel of this location - the interior seating in a very nice air conditioned room, as well as the option for seating in various areas of the lobby.Third, yes it is busy and yet well staffed so that you get in and out (if that is your choice rather than sitting and relaxing there) far more quickly than any other location.Fourth, the staff. These are resort employees, and it shows. They care. They smile. They engage. The serve. Having been to at least 100 different Starbucks locations, this one tops it off. The staff here make the experience great!Try this location...it will become your HAPPY PLACE!

I went here with my daughter to get a snack and drink, she was paying.The caisher lady asked my daughter to sign a paper, she did and it went well.Later when we were leaving the caisher lady got the paper and started to talk and laugh about my daughters signature. I think that is was very rude, and i would not like to go to a store like this again.

My favorite Starbucks on the island. They are always extremely friendly and make my drink perfectly. Mahalo ?

Everything was in stock/available and the lineup was quite short. It would be better if there was additional seating

Google asked me for this review of Starbucks and I’m guessing Starbucks in general. So generally Starbucks is good, my preference for coffee in the am. Always clean, fast and consistent. So my review is 5 stars for Starbucks.

Nice location at the Marriott. The inside is nicely air conditioned, but the hotel seating area outside had way more aloha ?

I love that no matter which Starbucks you go to, they are always consistent with their food, but the Wailea Marriott crew was very nice and sweet. Also the place was clean and properly stocked and organize.
