AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea - Wailea, Hawaii

Melissa B.

It was what I expected. A level slightly above holiday inn or motel 6.

Staff is cordial and accommodating. It rained and we asked for hotel umbrella, they don't have any. The front desk person offered his, which was really nice.

They don't have body lotion which is so basic to offer guests.

The view is beautiful if only the pool and ocean weren't facing it alongside the parking lot.

It's a convenient place to stay if you plan to spend no time in your room whatsoever. We did t spend much time here at all.

Overall, it's too pricey for the amenities offered, which were almost none.

It's a basic hotel. Modern, airy with minimal food options onsite. ||The infinity pool is nice but faces a parking lot. ||The rooms have a good amount of space and the bathroom is a good size.||There don't offer body lotion. The bath products are okay. A bit musky for my liking. ||Overall, it's too pricey for what it offers. ||We stayed in an ocenview room facing the pool.

I am currently staying at this wonderful hotel and I cannot believe the negative reviews! This is an amazing boutique hotel- granted it's not on the beach, but what makes it so amazing is how quiet and chill it is. This place exemplifies laid back Hawaii- and the views are absolutely stunning. We are really relaxing here. The pool and spa are so beautiful, the rooms super comfortable and clean (idk about the review saying there's no housekeeping- our room is beautifully serviced daily) and the staff is amazing- friendly, attentive, they remember your name etc. Every staff member with whom we've interacted has been phenomenal. I hope you get greeted by the gregarious and sweet Tisha at check in, like we did. She was awesome!||What really sets this place apart is that it feels like your own private boutique hotel. This morning I asked the front desk attendant what it's like when it's busy and he said "this is it- we're at almost 100 percent capacity." I was floored. It feels like there's no one here! ||I'm a Marriott Titanium member and I've stayed at Marriott branded hotels throughout the world and while yes breakfast could be free instead of discounted, and drinks are on the expensive side, I wouldn't let that keep you from staying here. It's the same thing at every other hotel in the area. Everything in this part of Maui is overpriced. You should expect to pay more when you come here regardless of where you stay.||So in summary, if you're looking for a small, laid back, relaxed hotel with beautiful amenities, excellent service and friendly staff I would highly recommend the AC!

What a gorgeous view from the infinity pool! This hotel is in one of the upscale neighborhoods of Maui, close to other premium resorts. The rooms were new and clean. The reception staff was welcoming and responsive. The all you can eat breakfast was delightful. I felt safe walking to the hotel from the nearby beaches (Ulua, Wailea beach) even at night. The hot tub and the lava store fire pit were enticing in the evenings. Definitely recommend!

We started this trip with four nights at the grand Hyatt in Kauai. Then we stayed two nights at the Inn at Mamas Fish house. We finished our trip with three nights at the AC by Marriott Wailea. We had originally booked a”the residence Inn Wailea, but decided that the AC was a better choice for us. |Of all the hotels we stayed at in Hawaii on this trip, The AC by Marriott was our favorite. It is an excellent value if you’re using points by the way. My partner is platinum elite with Marriott and we did get an upgrade. We were checked in by Tammy who was in training and couldn’t have been nicer. Her supervisor went above and beyond in finding a room that suited our needs. Our room was an ocean view room with two queens. The view was amazing. The pool and hot tub are so beautiful, We are beach people, but didn’t even mind not being directly on the beach. We walked to the beach one day and drove another day. On Maui, we love the Wailea beaches the best. |The room was new very, modern, clean and beautiful. The beds and pillows were awesome. The chairs on the balcony were super comfortable and we spent a lot of time watching the whales off in the distance. The hotel had a unique boutique feel. |We loved the Korres toiletries from Greece-Such a treat. The shower was one of the best ever with great water pressure. |They have a great deal at breakfast with excellent food , we ate there every morning. One evening we ordered Poke and drinks. The food was great and the service was even better. |We splurged on dinner at Mama’s Fish House one night and definitely were not disappointed. We also love the restaurant called Da Kitchen which is very reasonable and has amazing food. |The location of this hotel puts you in the nicest part of Wailea, on the hill overlooking the ocean. Again, a beautiful artsy hotel with excellent staff that were very kind. The whole place was pretty laid-back and chill which was also great. We would highly recommend this place to anyone. We actually stayed at the Andaz across the street a few years ago, and we like the AC by Marriott much better.

One of the newest Marriott properties on the island and very well situated and a quiet neighborhood.
Beautiful, shady, running and very close to tennis and golf courses.
Staff was very friendly and helpful and honored my platinum status late check out, which is always appreciated!

Nice, modern, clean rooms. Infinity pool and hot tub are great next to the outdoor bar. Fitness Center is small but well maintained. The ice and water dispenser are terrific, much better quality tasting water than other Maui hotels. Plenty of parking. The Shops At Wailea are a short walk down the street.

There's no beach access directly from the hotel. The breakfast buffet is $30.

The staff was generally friendly. However, one person needed more training, referring to me as "just some guy" to other staff when I was at the front desk. That sort of low-brow behavior belongs at Burger King, not here.

We had a wonderful experience here. It's def not ON the beach, but only a pleasant short walk there. In a very nice location of Maui, with restos, shops & nearby activities. Special shout out to Joe Nell (sp?) and GL on the front desk! Gave us a suite w sunset view.... NICE! Many Thanks! Will book here again.
