Kea Lani or Grand Wailea
 
I am going to be honeymooning in Maui starting next week. <BR>I have booked the Kea Lani and have heard great things but I am just wondering if the Grand Wailea might be a better choice for us. Both sound nice but I know that we will not be able to splurge for a while so...<BR>Is there a way to check out and play in the Grand Wailea's pools' if we are staying next door? <BR>Thanks!

Hi Julie!<BR><BR>My fiance and I are staying at the Kea Lani at the end of July for our Honeymoon. We have heard that both were very nice and had some trouble deciding at first. We were told that the Grand Wailea is beautiful but has a lot of Tours and big groups coming in and out. The rooms are just rooms and a lot of Commotion going on. The suites at the Kea Lani are supposed to be magnificent, especially the bathroom. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want something with tons of people and children around or a place that still has some things going on but is a bit more romantic sounding. I can't say for sure since we have not been yet, but I have had friends that stayed at both and that was the reccomendation that they gave us.<BR><BR>Congratulation and good luck. Please let us know how it goes.<BR>Jen

Julie,<BR><BR>If you want cheap cheezy Las Vegas glitz, then try and get to the Grand Wailea. <BR><BR>If you want classy accommodations, you've made the right choice!!!

Julie-<BR><BR>Make sure you eat at Nick's FishMarket at your hotel. It's wonderful! I honeymooned in Maui in January, and I'm counting the days until I can go back!<BR><BR>Have a great time!

We honeymooned in Hawaii - and we stayed four nights in the Kea Lani. It was wonderful! Great restaurants, pools, beach area and just a really classy place. You will love it.
