Maui Revealed: "I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for all of your suggestions in your book, Maui Revealed. My fiance and I just got back from Hawaii (literally) and had a fabulous time. We joked that your book had become the center piece to our daily activities in Maui... Thanks again, cant wait to come back!" |
Diamond Resort Hawaii Resort & spa (800) 800-0720 or (808) 874-0500 555 Kaukahi St. ![]() 72 rooms, pool, keiki pool, spa, day spa, sauna, fitness room, free valet parking, 2 restaurants, room service, empty refrigerator, 24-hour business center, 2 conference rooms, Wi-Fi, free room safe, laundry facility, free daily coffee and green tea. This is the forgotten Wailea resort. Most who live in South Maui have no idea that this place even exists. Instead of an oceanfront location, they're up the hill, affording sweeping ocean views. Molokini and Kaho'olawe look incredible from up here, and most rooms take advantage of these views. The resort is owned by Japanese, who represent about 30% of their customers. Since the resort used to have even more Japanese visitors, many amenities are still geared toward their needs, such as the nude baths in their spa. (Don't get too excited. It's divided into male and female only.) The view from those baths is like none other we have seen--an absolutely spectacular open-air ocean view. They even have Toto toilets that do...a lot for you that you'd normally do for yourself. They have a free shuttle to take you to areas of Wailea and the beach. The rooms, which are all suites, are simple, clean and very spacious. They don't have full kitchens as they lack an oven. The baths are large and combine the deep tub and shower into one efficient, enclosed space. The grounds are very quiet and serene. In fact, they are almost too quiet. We have been to this resort at many times of the year and rarely find anyone in plain sight. That's great if you want to get away from everyone. The waterfall running down the property is really all you hear, and that has to be turned off at night because it is "too noisy" for some guests to sleep. There are some steps leading to all suites. Rooms (a spacious 900 sq. ft.) are $320-$525. |
