AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea

מלון שקט, אינטימי יותר פחות מעורבב עם כל הריזורטים המטורפים . יש את כל מה שצריך

As a Marriott Bonvoy member, I chose the AC Hotel Maui Wailea with confidence, expecting a level of service and quality consistent with the Marriott brand. Unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing and did not align with the expectations created by the hotel’s advertising, pricing, or Marriott’s reputation.

The most noticeable issue is staffing. There appears to be very limited staff available throughout the property. In addition, I observed individuals who appeared to be hotel employees working throughout the property while out of uniform and wearing flip-flops, making it difficult to identify staff members and creating an unprofessional impression.

Security was also a concern. During my stay, I noticed what appeared to be only a single visible security camera located near the front desk. I did not observe cameras near the elevators or in other common guest areas. While I understand not all security measures are visible, the apparent lack of security monitoring in key areas did not provide the level of confidence and peace of mind I would expect from a property charging premium rates.

Housekeeping service was inconsistent during my stay, often arriving after 4:00 PM, and on multiple occasions I had to contact the front desk to request service. Basic essentials such as toilet paper and other room supplies were not consistently replenished.

The property charges $40 per day for parking, yet valet service is not offered. Given the parking fee, I expected a higher level of service.

The breakfast offering, priced at approximately $30 per person, was particularly disappointing. The selection remained virtually identical every day and consisted primarily of coffee, scrambled eggs, muffins, sliced cold cuts, and hard-boiled eggs. The value simply does not match the price being charged.

Cleanliness and sanitation were also concerns. The main lobby doors are routinely left open, allowing birds to enter the building. During breakfast, birds were frequently flying around and near the food service area, creating an unsanitary environment and raising concerns about food safety.

The pool area was also poorly maintained throughout my stay. Bird droppings remained on chairs and tables, trash and debris were left on the ground, and the area did not appear to be cleaned regularly. The lack of visible staff presence only added to the impression that common areas were not being adequately maintained.

Most disappointing was the gap between the hotel’s marketing and the actual guest experience. The website and promotional materials portray a premium resort experience, yet the reality fell far short of those expectations. At rates exceeding $600 per night, I expected a level of service, attention to detail, cleanliness, professionalism, and amenities consistent with a luxury Maui resort. Instead, the overall experience felt comparable to a much lower-priced hotel.

As a loyal Marriott Bonvoy member, this is not the level of experience I have come to expect from Marriott properties. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements. The property has a great location and potential, but in its current state it does not deliver the level of experience its pricing and advertising suggest.

L’hôtel est très récent. La piscine avec la vue sur l’océan et les montagnes offre un super sunset chaque soir. La chambre est très spacieuse et bien équipée, dans une zone superbe avec tous les services à proximité.

Propreté de l’établissement ainsi que la piscine avec vue sur la mer et montagnes, super sunset depuis la piscine.

Love this hotel - the pool and pool area is gorgeous - views are amazing and all of the staff are so friendly and helpful! The food at the bar and the cocktails were all very good. So special to sit on the balcony and enjoy the views also from your room - with your own drink - extra touch is having your glasses already set up in the fridge! Love that.

While not right on the beach, the hotel pool was positioned with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. The bar was great, as were the staff there. The gym was quite good as well.

- Stylish
- Good breakfast
- Loved the pool and jacuzzi
- Clean

Nighttime front desk was friendly and helpful. Guest service was good.

Great location to be able to walk to a bunch of shops and restaurants. The sunset was amazing on one of our nights and enjoyed the pool.
As Elite members we were surprised we weren’t asked that when we checked in. We ended up in a room next to the road with trucks roaring by at 4:30AM. And again as a few other people said the annoying techo music being played. Any kind of island music would be better.

Loved the shopping/restaurant center across the street
happy with not being in a too-much resort, this had everything we needed and easy to get to the beach and restaurants

Everything except the hostess when we arrived. He always treated us really bad
