Pros:

La piscine, la taille des chambres et leurs équipements

Cons:

nous avons séjournée 5 nuits au total. Propreté des espaces communs pas terrible. Le ménage des chambres était fait en fin d'après midi et il manquait souvent le nombre requis de serviettes. Le personnel à l'accueil est assez peu sympathique et tout est bon pour faire payer le guest. Parking très cher (+40 USD / jour) alors que le site ne manque pas d'espace....

Uitstekend verblijf in Wailea
Pros:

Ons verblijf van zes nachten bij **AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea** was in één woord: **uitzonderlijk**.

Het hotel heeft een prachtige en zeer verzorgde uitstraling. De moderne lobby, stijlvolle kamers en uitstekende algemene voorzieningen geven het hotel een luxe en comfortabele sfeer. Het zwembad met whirlpool is bijzonder mooi en het uitzicht vanuit het hotel is werkelijk adembenemend.

Ook de **locatie in Wailea** is een groot pluspunt. Het hotel ligt in een rustige en aantrekkelijke omgeving, dicht bij diverse hoogwaardige shoppingcentra, restaurants en andere voorzieningen. Tegelijkertijd zijn de mooie stranden en bezienswaardigheden van Wailea gemakkelijk bereikbaar. De ligging is daarmee een uitstekende uitvalsbasis om Maui te ontdekken.

Daarnaast waren wij zeer tevreden over de service. Het personeel was gedurende ons verblijf vriendelijk, professioneel en behulpzaam.

Alles bij elkaar biedt het hotel een uitstekende combinatie van **luxe, comfort, service en een prachtige locatie**. Wij hebben hier een fantastisch verblijf gehad en zouden het hotel zeker opnieuw kiezen bij een volgend bezoek aan Maui.

Pros:

Hotel je celkově velmi pěkný, chytre rozvrženy, s nekonečným bazénem, relaxačním prostorem s barem, příjemnou hudbou. Pokoje jsou prostorné, s pěknou koupelnou a veškerou kosmetikou.
Výhled z balkonu je opravdu nádherný! Určitě si připlatte za výhled na moře, pokoje na druhou stranu jsou k silnici, a ta je opravdu rusna. Nebrala jsem to vážně, když jsem to v recenzích četla, ale je to opravdu diametrální rozdíl, který změní celou vaši dovolenou!
Posilovna dostatečně velká a slušně vybavena.
Skutečný poklad tohoto hotelu jsou ale zaměstnanci. Všichni byli neuvěřitelně milí a ochotní, vyzdvihnout musím hlavně pracovníky recepce. Nic nebyl problém, každé vaše přání je obratem splněno rychlostí blesku. Opravdu nadstandardní zkušenost!

Cons:

Četla jsem to ve více recenzích a bohužel je to pravda - na venkovních lehátkách a zidlich jsou ptačí výkaly, a to i na balkónových křeslech a na zemi. Kromě toho jsou celkově tyto kusy nábytku zašlé, flekate a špinavé. Museli jsme si přes ně dávat dva ručníky, než jsme si na balkoně sedli. Stejně špinavá je i pohovka v pokoji, to by opravdu chtělo kompletní čištění nebo výměnu.
V bazénu jsou přímo ve vode skvělá designová plastová lehátka, ale jsou zažloutlá a zašpinena, nikdy jsem neviděla nikoho je umýt. V jiných dovolených jsem zvyklá vidět každé ráno někoho, jak čistí celý bazén. Tady jsem za téměř týden neviděla nikoho ano jednou, schody do bazénu klouzaly, a okraje byly upatlane od opalovaciho krému, jak se tam lidé opírali. Pokud hotel zlepší toto, bude to opravdu malý tichý ráj...

Disappointed
Pros:

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.
