Wrestle with the restaurant's formidable name - the name of the state fish - or simply watch the fish swim by in the 2,100-gallon tank at the bar.

No question that this is a seafood restaurant-there's an 800,000-gallon saltwater lagoon surrounding Humuhumu-and dinner could be swimming by. It's a stunning restaurant, comprised of several Polynesian thatched-roof huts made from massive ohia logs, with wood plank flooring. The pond is home for co...

Great looking resort, which sits on a very nice stretch of Wailea Beach. Service is friendly and first rate. However, the hotel could use a little bit better upkeep.

Beautiful hotel, but some issues to consider - user review
Wailea is a beautiful part of Maui as is evidenced by another well repsected hotel's selection of the spot right next to the GW.

We had a great time at this hotel! The waterslides are so much fun. Our room spelled very musty and the food was outrageously expensive.
