Fodor's Expert Review Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort

3850 Wailea Alanui Dr., Wailea, Hawaii, 96753, USA

  • 2 Guests
  • 1 Room

"Grand" is no exaggeration for this opulent, sunny 40-acre resort—either astounding or over the top, depending on your point of view—that's wildly entertaining due to its elaborate water features such as a "canyon riverpool" with enclosed "lava tube," slides, caves, a Tarzan swing, and a water elevator. Tropical garden paths meander past artwork by noted international and Hawaiian artists and the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a restaurant—named for Hawaii's state fish—"floats" in a saltwater lagoon, and the fabulous Spa Grande offers everything from mineral baths to massage.
