No title - expert review
This isn't the most luxurious resort on the South Shore - it could actually use a face-lift - but it has many pluses that more than make up for the somewhat dated decor. The location is superb. Just south of Makena, the hotel is on a secluded piece of land surrounded by two magnificent golf courses ...

Once upon a time, Makena was considered the boonies, known more for its nude sunbathers than for its resort hotels. Now the area is a favorite playground for well-heeled visitors who luxuriate in posh suites on this landscaped oceanfront stretch. This hotel is serene and understated, and the service...

Secluded at Makena Resort on a perfect .25 mile of a beach at the foot of Haleakala, the Maui Prince Hotel is a sanctuary. The serenity can be felt from the first moment a lei of seashells is draped over your shoulders and you are welcomed with the genuine smiles and warm attention of the staff. The...

Secluded at Makena Resort on a perfect smile of a beach at the foot of Haleakala, the Maui Prince Hotel is a sanctuary. An Asian meditation garden surrounds the resort and leads their guests down stone paths to quiet corners for contemplation or romance. Soothing waterfalls and streams enhance the s...

Stayed in Maui Prince for the first time (despite reading mixed reviews online) in March 2006. Location: Right on the beach great views of Molokini, watching whales breaching right off your own lanai. Located on the Wailea area, less developed compared to busy Kanaapali or Lahaina. Went to other are...

Wonderful Maui Experience - user review
I chose this hotel because it was 'out of the way'; it's the furthest south on that side of the island. Everything you could dream about in a Hawaiin escape, it was! I enjoyed walking and exploring around the area; but when I didn't want to walk, the hotel shuttle was available to take you as far as...

I like that this hotel is the last hotel on that stretch of road. The beach is never really crowded and is great for snorkeling.

This hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of Maui, with beautiful beaches and sunsets.

Undiscovered Gem - user review
This is the most underrated hotel on Maui. Low key, very classic Hawaiian, on an incredible beach. The rooms may be slightly dated, and yes, that's a small pool, but it's all about the beach, baby. You come to Hawaii for the beach, not the pool. And it is a top rated beach with excellent snorkeling ...

We loved the Maui Prince hotel, a perfect get away spot for our anniversary trip. It has beautiful grounds and a peaceful location just south of Wailea.

Hotel was built in the mid 80's and hasn't been updated since. This is definitely NOT a resort quality hotel as has it categorized.

I do no recommend this hotel to anyone, unless they are staying with a family and want to be on a beach for logistical reasons. Even then, if you are paying over 120/night you are paying too much.
