This was one of the best travel videos I have ever seen. Great detail of all the amenities this hotel has to offer, I felt I was there. Great job and thanks.
Marvelous video footage. What an amazing property. I love the music as well. I worked at this Resort in the 90's before it was renovated. I worked 6 months busing tables at what was called the Palm Court restaurant and 3 months in the beach and pool department.
I remember watching this video (and all your videos) during the lockdown and saying to myself "one day, I'll be there", well fast forward a few years later and I just returned from getting married and honeymooning at the four seasons in Maui. So thanks for the inspiration and getting me through some tough and lonely times during the lockdown!
I watch your channel when I am stressed because it's so relaxing. Everything's perfect. It feels like I traveled to those beautiful places personally. I also like that you accompanied your videos with relaxing music, and just put subtitles instead of talking endlessly or taking videos of yourself like some of the TH-camrs I've seen. :)
My family and I just spent four days at this hotel and, I must say, you did an excellent job capturing the spirit and ambiance of the resort in your video. My congrats and a hearty "well-done" to you...
I like all the music in your video. I really like the song that starts at 12:58 and ending at 17:08...It has the island scene of your stay there so much!!!!!!
Hey doc. It felt good to be in Hawaii for a change. Far from Italy the videos of which I have been feasting on for the last couple of weeks. The palm trees dotting the ocean front , the pristine beaches, the tiered swimming pools, the feeling of openness in the hotel makes this property a class apart. Hawaii in the tropics is a destination worth visiting and dreaming about.
I've never been but have always dreamed of visiting Hawaii. ...I'm watching your video on a bitterly cold day here in Iowa...Christmas Day....Thank you for the lovely views....I'll keep dreaming & saving....At age 64 I better get busy...Thank you again....
Loved the video.. However no video would do justice to this resort. I stayed here for a week on my last trip, every day I was watching whales from my balcony. Definitely my favorite resort in Hawaii. I can't wait for my trip again in Feb... Counting down.
My wife and I stayed here for or honeymoon visit to Maui and absolutely LOVED every minute!! Felt so much like home the way we were treated to the feel of the property!!! We will stay again next time we visit Maui without a doubt!! Great video!!!
I could swear I was at this resort 32 years ago for a company event: I had won an award. The towers and location of the suites are the give away for me. 30 some years ago it was a resort with good bones that needed to be remodeled. I was in the towers for the company event, then upgraded to a suite when I stayed over. The suite was as wonderful then as now. It is gratifying to see the resort’s revivification into something glorious. It makes me want to go back, though the sheer number of people there gives me pause.
Stephen It was the Stouffers Hotel back then. I worked there for 25 yrs. I liked it much better then this ..... they took all the Hawaiiana out of the decor plus they didn’t hire anyone over 35! Real shame there were a lot of good ppl that worked there for years .... a real Ohana!🌺
DV 121 Thank you for confirming this. Back then, MAUI, and this hotel were my introduction to Hawaii. My experience could not have been more beautiful. I told people that Hawaii was one of the few things in Life that totally lived up to its reputation.
I would like to say thank you "the Luxury Travel Expert" for replying to my comment on your other Hawaii video. Secondly I can see why you really like this resort. I will have to start checking into this property. And can you do a "Behind the scenes" video on how you make the decisions on where you plan on vacationing and where to stay? And maybe include who you travel with? Like the "Green Shorts" people.
Thank you for your suggestion. Maybe I can do that one day :-). My hotel choices are mostly inspired by the Kiwicollection and Virtuoso websites (which list the world's most amazing properties). Safe travels!
@Luxury travel expert, I love your videos and the relaxing music. I would highly appreciate if you would share what music this is what you are using on your videos. Thank you.
The Andaz hotel in Papagayo, Guanecaste (Costa Rica) has all the Andaz features, but in my opinion is way calmer and nicer than this Andaz. You should check it out!
One thing im wondering for each video is why you don´t mention somewhere how much the prices is for the hotel, the food breakfest, dinner etc. Im trying to pause everytime I see the food menu, if I see a price tag :D
We flew from Louisiana and for 5 nights it was a little over 5k back in 2015. We purchased the breakfast package as well so breakfast was included in our overall price. You still receive the receipt and for me and my wife if we had not already prepaid it would have been $149.00 for the 2 of us. So you better believe we got up every morning and ate breakfast.
Because if he told u how much u would shit yourself how much not paying those prices u would be making up your own prices for Breakfast and staying there. No not paying 😒😑that DEAR. That is not worth it. U would be wanting it for nothing. Then when something went wrong u would be telling them i have paid a lot of money for this. (YEAH).not staying there at those prices. Next thing u will be wanting something knocked off the BiLL what comes in mind to me is Dont Ask for credit or a smack in the teeth offend affends. Ok now do u know the prices. Right glad we sorted that out. 👍in other words it is out of your League. And price range. U may have to Dream a Bit Longer ✨💖💕❤💙. ✨
La plage est très belle avec cette harmonie entre la couleur du sable et celle de l'eau Très beau coucher de soleil en 29.41 Mais de mon point de vue, ce gigantesque bâtiment qu'est l'hôtel gâche vraiment le charme de cet endroit.
This is a bit more like the high end Asian resorts you've filmed (although still not as good). Much better than the other ones in Hawaii in my opinion. Nice. 😊 The green swimshorts were in the Maldives with you. 🤣 PS! I think I'm a bit allregic to American English. 😳
Grand Wailea beats this in my book - lovely open-feel lobby leading to circular bar in the middle of a soaring atrium, with sculptures all around. Fantastically-fun pools with water elevator, tarzan swing, pool bar, adult pool with beautiful fountain, multiple water slides; nice beach front, large rooms with spacious lanai, concierge tower, etc.
When I click the links to your videos from your emails, it always jumps me in part way through the video. Can I suggest you use the shortlink youtube gives you when you're uploading? I think you're using a link from when you've already played it half way through or something. Might help improve your viewing figures!
Thank you for telling me about this. I was unaware of this. I am not aware of the existence of TH-cam shortlinks. Will have a look into this. Kind regards
Love to watch your videos. I know it's just a matter of personal preference, but the look of this hotel doesn't appeal to me much. Everything inside is so brown! Nothing in the decor suggests "Hawaii" or even, really, "tropical resort." The rooms you show are nice, sure, but they look like they could just as easily be in Copenhagen as Maui. Maybe I'm too old, and prefer more traditional (read "cliche") design. Glad you liked it. Happy Holidays.
Smooth move on LTE not doing a stay at the Grand Wailea Resort..the service is subpar. I am a party planner and while I was there I was scouting the site for future weddings and the catering mgr was very 'unaccomadating'--seriously!?--I'm trying to bring you business and you ignore me? Unless I was handing them a deposit check..they went about their business. Although a nice property and beautiful pools..I do not recommend it. The subpar hospitality & service did NOT jive with the amount of money I doled out and there are many other nice places to stay like the Four Seasons and Fairmont.
I've stayed here...not impressed. Yeah, it looks cool, but its loaded with bored 30-somethings staring at their cell phones. Mediocre drinks are $18 in a plastic cup. Need to go to the Grand Wailea for a real class Mai Tai. Also, if a group is there they take over the hotel and treat other travelers second class. If this is your favorite on Hawaii then you either haven't been anywhere else, or more likely, you're on their payroll.
Watching your vids is almost like being on vacation, very relaxing.
RE'LAX'ING'--Rose at, the left, self-- and said. Technically-- Royal family.
I realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online ?
This was absolutely heaven to watch. I have fallen in love with the resort. The style and ambience pure perfection.

Stayed here on vacation and loved it. You show cased this hotel very well and it brought back memories. Time for another Maui trip!
This was one of the best travel videos I have ever seen. Great detail of all the amenities this hotel has to offer, I felt I was there. Great job and thanks.
That view is why I love Hawaii so much. Also that resort is spectacular I'm tempted to try it out in April.

We are currently staying here. After watching this video, we booked right away. Also huge fan of your videos.
Ah, glad to hear that. I loved the property. I hope you like it as much as I did. Enjoy your holiday!
Beautiful! There are certain design aspects of the lobby that remind me of AMANERA
Merry Christmas 😁 thank you for your reports this year, simply stunning. My favourite has to be the Santa Rosa on the Amalfi coast!
The sun looks so different. Beautiful place, weird sunsets you’ve captured.
Weird in what way?
the Luxury Travel Expert sunrises and sunsets are clouded over...during the day, the light appears dimmer...but white instead of yellow.
Hotel resort looks very very nice..I like the sand design which is done every day....Nice...
Very nice tour as always 😍😎
Lovely vlog as usual. First time seeing people in spa while you're filming.
Loved the video.. However no video would do justice to this resort. I stayed here for a week on my last trip, every day I was watching whales from my balcony. Definitely my favorite resort in Hawaii. I can't wait for my trip again in Feb... Counting down.

Ich wird dort unbedingt gehen
Danke schön
Beautiful resort!
As usual superb review and footage !!!!!

NICE HOTEL I will stay at the KEA LANI MY FAVORITE ❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
Loved your video, an odd question but do all the rooms have bidets toilets?
I wonder if we were there at the same time. Love that place 🥰
It looks awesome .. wish we had went there I stayed at the Hilton
Was bad rooms dirty most restaurants were closed
You need to go the Grand Hyatt Poipu on Kauai.
Love the infinity pools
sublime hotel
Beautiful 😆
i wise you yall merry christmas to you hotel was so col swim pool also eating place that is so cool ty RR :)
@Luxury travel expert, I love your videos and the relaxing music. I would highly appreciate if you would share what music this is what you are using on your videos. Thank you.
The music is from Epidemic Sound
We prefer the Grand Wailea -- larger and less crowded although Morimotos was our favorite place to eat.
MORi'--My ship!
Wonderful video!
enjoyed the video!
The beach is very beautiful.
Beautiful 👍:)
Notts boy24
Me and my husband are going to Maui next week. And wanted to know if you would recommend getting a massage here at the four season resort?
Here 😉
@@luxurytravelexpert thanks so much! Is there any places that are a must eat or go in your opinion outside the hotel!?
@@RaymeDavis there are plenty of excellent restaurants in the Wailea area … Enjoy your trip!
Very busy lobby! Did you take the video during check in time?
Yes ;-)
The Andaz hotel in Papagayo, Guanecaste (Costa Rica) has all the Andaz features, but in my opinion is way calmer and nicer than this Andaz. You should check it out!
My favorite is the Mauna Lani on the Big Island of Hawaii
Wow! The Luxury Travel Expert! So you s you travelled between hotels in your holiday on Hawai?

oh, service includes renting GoPro camera? i'm going there! 😆
Not to many kids! I'll stay here this winter
Very nice, not bad for an American venue. Good lord, we Americans are LOUD!
The Luxury Travel Expert, Do you know what island is there far away next to Lanai Island?
La plage est très belle avec cette harmonie entre la couleur du sable et celle de l'eau
Très beau coucher de soleil en 29.41
Mais de mon point de vue, ce gigantesque bâtiment qu'est l'hôtel gâche vraiment le charme de cet endroit.
Gorgeous
Прекрасный ролик! Спасибо!
That is nice with two Queen Beds...

Noticed that guy with feet on the sofa in the lobby. It might be a very informal setting but please leave the lack of etiquette at home!
I agree, so rude, disrespectful and classless.
@Adam Efimoff I guess you’re just another one of those classless, rude and disrespectful guests, probably raised by a pack of wolves.
O’ahu: biggest city
Maui: best resorts

Why your videos has so many dislikes?.. Let me guess, people are jealous because can't afford to travel and that's why they dislike your videos?
Love to watch your videos. I know it's just a matter of personal preference, but the look of this hotel doesn't appeal to me much. Everything inside is so brown!

lovely resort but its just looks to busy not as great as the other ones
Are there safes in the rooms?

We r going to Hawaii LOL ;)
Big chain hotels just have no soul,,like this one, u,must search for that great small-mid hotel ,they are there.
If you want, and conform to the Corporate Formulaic Holiday Resort, this is ideal for you.

Looks like a prison complex - "modern" usually means 1960s square throwbacks because architects can't come up with anything new.
Americans seem so loud and crass. Granted there are many Canadians like that but i didn't expect the people attending there would be.
Ive always felt that any deserted beach is for lovers and the very depressed
Unfortunately, these american beach hotels are always too noisy for my taste.
I've stayed here...not impressed. Yeah, it looks cool, but its loaded with bored 30-somethings staring at their cell phones. Mediocre drinks are $18 in a plastic cup. Need to go to the Grand Wailea for a real class Mai Tai. Also, if a group is there they take over the hotel and treat other travelers second class. If this is your favorite on Hawaii then you either haven't been anywhere else, or more likely, you're on their payroll.
I suspect there is a lot of urine in that pool - with many carbs!
Must have more money than sense to stay here
Crowds of people EVERYWHERE. Not my idea of a relaxing vacation..
and SO many fucking kids, UGH
AN'DAZ'--And, I did. Hawaiians-- don't use: upscale ever-- bad citizen identity.
Beautiful video!
