Hana-Maui Resort, a Destination by Hyatt Residence

We loved the welcome and the staff- the beautiful scenery - especially in the renovated area. The room was very spacious and big private patio.

The location is great right in the middle of Hana with amazing ocean views.

We loved that the resort was set close by to community facilities so it didn't feel remote from the local community. The Oceanview bungalow was lovely, comfortable and clean, and the view was spectacular. The staff were friendly, particularly the kind and warm lady at reception who was there the night we arrived, exhausted and flustered after our drive from Paia (I think her name was Selma?). The pool area was gorgeous (though towels were a little scarce when we were there). Lovely breakfast in a restaurant with a lovely aspect, some portions were huge (by Australian standards) - it was good that local foods were offered. The only thing was there was initially some confusion about the fact that we had prepaid for breakfast through Booking.com - though the staff were then happy to honour it. We enjoyed some of the local sites including Hamoa Beach (beautiful) and Koki Beach with the amazing Huli Huli chicken run by generous and warm cooks, and Ohe'o Gulch.

If you pay the lesser but still hefty price of 800 USD, you will get the old, non-renovated rooms, which are spacious and have some nostalgic charm to them, but are also in urgent need of a thorough upgrade. Otherwise, the property is stunning, with lush gardens and views of Hana, and an exquisite pool overlooking the ocean. The pancakes are your best options at breakfast.

The location and grounds are perfect. Gorgeous. Makes you feel like you own a large property on the coast, as you San enjoy the views quietly. Rooms are very spacious, with generous patios, and with great views.
