Significant upgrades to technology ensure your next event runs flawlessly.
COMING SOON:
Grand Lanai Lobby
The tree-lined drive and dramatic open-air lobby have always been part of our spectacular arrival experience. This summer, a brand new lobby will welcome you to our re-imagined resort in style. Every aspect of your arrival will be refreshed, allowing you to relax and take in the spectacular ocean views after your travels. Panoramas will be widened via column adjustments, while the soaring ceiling and open air layout remain. Check in at the relocated front desk, oriented to let you look out at the ocean while checking in. The Grand Lanai Lobby transformation is expected to be completed December 2016.

Relax in the new Arrival/Departure Lounge, which is the only amenity of its kind on Maui! Featuring personal showers, lockers, and spa-like amenities, you’ll enjoy preparing for, or relaxing after, your red-eye flights in style.
Guest Rooms - Now Open
Contemporary, cool, calming, and comfortable. Brand new guest rooms are inspired by Maui’s natural beauty: waves, sand, shells, and flora. Enjoy the sunrise with an espresso from your in-room Nespresso machine. Catch up on emails with technology upgrades, including well-placed outlets and USB ports and upgraded internet speed. Refresh in remodeled bathrooms, many featuring new showers. After a day at the beach, cool off with a quiet moment in front of new flat screen televisions featuring personalized streaming content. Wind down on a private lanai (balcony) as the sun dips into the ocean. Oceanfront guest rooms are so close to the water's edge that you can hear waves crashing as you fall asleep. The inviting and stylish rooms, complete with new furniture, lighting, bedding, artwork, amenities, and technology conveniences, will delight the modern day traveler.
