Mandara Spa at theWailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui - Kihei, Hawaii

I recently stayed at the Wailea Beach Resort with several of my husband's co-workers & spouses. I decided to book a deep tissue massage & relexology treatment after the receptionist recommended Mike. It was incredible! Possibly one of the best massages I have ever had. Not only an excellent massage therapist, Mike has a wealth of knowledge in Eastern practices. I have had a frozen shoulder since August 2024 & have been going to physical therapy & a massage therapist. Many of the techniques & oils Mike used offered so much relief & healing to my painful joint. If you have the opportunity to get a massage while at the resort, I highly recommend him!

This was one of the worst massages my husband and I have ever received, and definitely the worst by far for a “luxury” spa. I have had probably 40-50 massages, I’m a regular and often leave massages in a “zen” or meditative state. Unfortunately that was not the case here, during this massage I was extremely uncomfortable and my husband and I both said we wished we would have gotten up and left during the massage. The “technique” they used was horrible or they just had no idea what they were doing. It breaks my heart to write about a persons profession in this way.. but we neither left relaxed or rejuvenated. We did leave with a $600 bill for a service we wouldn’t return to even if it were $50. The massage was even painful at sometimes as they massaged over my bones, applied pressure in uncomfortable places like the front of my ankles, shook my body and applied still pressure in places that did absolutely nothing for me. We are on our honeymoon and have been looking forward to the massage for the entire trip… HUGE letdown.

In additional disappointment, we showed up 45 minutes early to enjoy the “amenities”, which were hardly amenities. The steam room was not on and did not get hot and other than that all that was available was a “relaxation room” with lounge chairs & refreshments and showers… I’ve been to spas half the price with better amenities than this one.

I have always had no problem paying premium for exceptional experiences, but this was not that. In addition, there was an automatic 20% service charge for gratuity. As someone who worked in service, I am all for tipping… however it should be based on service and in this case, the service was exceptionally terrible.

Lovely hotel. Very close to the ocean. Two beaches on each side. Several pools. Free chocolate every day. Wonderful staff. Lots of small spaces, doesn’t feel huge. Marriott points.

Private dinning next to the ocean. 3.5 hours. 7 courses. Pricing about $1,000 a couple. Only a few seatings a week. Check that right off the bucket list.

Aki went above and beyond for me to get complete Ambassador Elite Experience!
I just flew in from Tokyo after work and was up for 24hours I was very jet lagged and grumpy and she made my stay a lot better. She was very patient with my request exceeding my expectations! This is a great 4 Star hotel! But little things I did not like. This is NOT a beach front hotel! It is a 8 minute walk to actual beach with umbrellas. The outdoor activities opens at 8am! It looks like other hotels close by open earlier. In order to get umbrellas you have to check in at this counter. This hotel is better for pools. There are 6 swimming pools total. 1 adult pool, 1 wellness pool, and 4 family pools. Wellness pool minimum charge for day bed is $200! Rainelle Leval gifted my sister Happy Birthday Gift Basket full of fresh fruit and snacks!!!! I definitely recommend getting a Premium Sundeck Room next to the pool you can just lounge at your room after getting out of the pool!

I had the most wonderful massage with Jessica! I have never had a massage that has felt so customized to me! As a dentist, I deal with lots of aches and pains in my back and shoulders, and Jessica used deeper pressure in the tighter areas to get ALL my knots out, and even followed it up with a soothing muscle reliever cream that continued relaxing my muscles. She was so kind and professional and I highly recommend you request her when you visit the incredible Mandara Spa!

Stopped by in the morning to see if they had any last minute availability. They were able to accommodate us with a 120 min couples massage, one being a prenatal massage. JESSICA GOT ALL MY STRESS KNOTTS AND WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! As a mama to be, I had some questions she kindly explained before our booking and took real good care of all my concerns. 10/10 THE BEST! I literally felt the knots like “pop” idk how to explain but she was the best. I feel brand new! The aches in my swollen feet- GONE. They actually look look/feel like my feet pre-pregnancy 😂

Summary: expensive, not friendly, extremely hot wax to the point of discomfort, stress inducing, didn’t feel comfortable speaking up, ugly nails with sloppy lines, left feeling horrible and in worse condition

Wish I could give this place 0 stars. Came to get an upper lip wax and a polish change This combine was 100 dollars which is absurd for the quality I received. To start, the wax was SUPER hot and I told the woman several times which she never fixed. I’ve had many waxings before and this has never been a problem. The lady was just super unfriendly and lethargic in general. She also didn’t get all the hair which was really stupid because what did I pay for then? Basically spent 50 bucks for some idiot to place burning wax on my face. Then for the polish change I was told she could do french tips which is extremely standard for any salon. Nails came out super messy and looked like she painted with whiteout. The also added an extra 15 bucks for the french tips which I was not aware ahead of time. Again why did I pay for this if I’m going to be charged extra? places shouldn’t offer services they clearly can’t do. I would have rather been turned down then sit through this experience.

I had two of the best 90 minute deep tissue massages from Laurie! She worked out kinks and now, two weeks post vacation, my body still feels better. She was lovely and had such good energy - made my massage experience absolutely fantastic!
