First, Marcus and Jesse helped us find the perfect room for our stay. We had a lovely view, especially to watch the fireworks over the fourth. My wife and I were very comfortable in the king size bed. Along with the fold out couch they offered a rollaway so each of our teenage boys could have a bed to themselves. The arrangement was much better than two queen size beds, thanks again to Marcus and Jesse. Everywhere we went staff members greeted us with aloha and a friendly smile. The concierge was extremely helpful on multiple occasions. We ate at The Ko and Pilpini. The food was amazing and wait staff friendly, helpful and attentive. The resort is beautiful! So many places to sit and enjoy the view or rest comfortably in the tropical surroundings. Thanks Fairmont for a brilliant stay! Read less

The stay was nothing less than perfect. To describe a few things which made it so, 1. The private resort beach which is never crowded with beautiful Hawaiian sunsets 2. The breakfast buffet with so many options to choose from keeping you from getting bored of the food. I especially recommend the pineapple here. 3. Easy access to small items such as sunscreen, hats etc in the shop below 4. Unlimited supply and availability of towels for everytime you go for a swim along with reef safe sunscreen in case you want to go snorkeling 5. A separate adult only pool for easy swimming without running into a lot of kids. 6. The very friendly and available staff. These just touch the surface and things I can think off the top of my head which made my vacation amazing. Read less

Wonderful location and amenities. The size of the resort is perfect where everything is in close proximity. The pools, beach, workout facility, bars, restaurants and store are all a short distance from your accommodations . Great for a family vacation!

We had a perfect stay in Maui with the Fairmont. The property is lovely and filled with activities. Honestly, you could just stay onsite and be content. The Polo Beach is isolated and has ample space to play. There is equipment on hand and more advanced equipment to rent (kayak paddle boards). Food is excellent albeit pricey. Oddly enough our Favorite was the Kea Lani Acai Bowls at Makana Market! The staff was was welcoming and always eager to help. Any contact started with an Aloha and ended with a Mahalo. The vibe was pure Maui and I felt relaxed the entire time I was there. The grounds are fragrant and well kept. Plumeria and Hibiscus galore. Opt for an Ocean view room since you get a beautiful shot of Molokini. Thank you Fairmont Kea Lani and we hope to see you again soon!! Read less
