Hana-Maui Resort, a Destination by Hyatt Residence

We drove the famous Road to Hana and decided to spend the night rather than make the long return trip the same day. Staying at the Hana-Maui Resort was a great way to truly enjoy the area without feeling rushed—but be prepared for the price. It was more than triple what we paid per night in Lahaina, which definitely makes it a splurge. That said, the resort offers a lot. Parking was included, and the property has everything you might need for a comfortable and peaceful stay. The rooms are massive—more like mid-sized apartments than traditional hotel suites. The bed was very comfortable, and the space overall felt thoughtfully designed and relaxing. The grounds are expansive and beautifully maintained, with a quiet, tranquil vibe that's hard to find anywhere else on Maui. We especially enjoyed the infinity pool, catching the sunrise, and just taking in the peaceful surroundings. One highlight for me was the fitness room, which was impressively equipped with free weights, Peloton bikes, and more. Even better—it opens up to a second pool, allowing you to work out while still soaking in the tropical atmosphere. Dining options include an off-site restaurant and some fantastic food trucks just footsteps away—perfect for a flavorful and fuss-free feast. All in all, if you're willing to splurge for a serene, off-the-beaten-path experience in Hana, the Hana-Maui Resort delivers. It’s not budget-friendly, but it offers a unique kind of luxury you won’t find elsewhere on the island.

Grounds, pool, ocean view were all outstanding. Service staff were first rate

Beautiful resort in a peaceful town! The hotel room was clean and spacious. The resort is expansive with many amenities available to guests and beautiful views in all directions.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay, my favorite room is #215. You definitely want something with an ocean view. Make plans ahead and reservations for spa are needed just to use facilities. Yoga and meditation in morning, hike in the afternoon and a thick steak at the Ranch for dinner. You need at least three or four days to see this side of Maui, just breathtaking.

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.
