One of us, not saying who, cried when we had to checkout of the Wailea Beach Resort. Saying we had fun is an understatement. Learn more about this resort here prf.hn/l/WoQNQ5X (partnership link so booking using this link helps us out!)
Does Wailea resort let you in without booking the room to swim in the pools or no? Or you just have to pay for the pool? We have same here on the Big island where you don't have to pay to get in to resort, you can walk around but you have to pay for the pool. So I was wondering about the Wailea resort. :) Love your videos! So much info :)
My wife and son stayed there back in July 2019. We love that resort it was perfect. It was our last vacation together. Who would of ever thought it would be our last, rest her soul. Kids and I went to Kauai in July of this year and we are going to Maui in December for two weeks. My wife’s favorite islands. This August will be a year with out her. I think traveling the world is how I will remember her because that’s what she loved to do.
Out of the many videos you guys have done this is one of two videos that makes me feel like I'm on staycation with you! Narration, music and the general vibe feels like so much Aloha. Thanks for elevating my Tuesday after a hectic two days at work!
I'm glad we could help you with those hectic days! I hope this week will go better for ya. I enjoy editing these vlog style videos. They don't do as well but they are my favorite.
What a beautiful recap. We just returned from a week stay. We'll certainly try to do more snorkeling next time. Our host Terrence was wonderful and the staff was amazing.
When we were in the process of planning our June 2021 vacation, we discovered your channel and loved watching you guys. We actually stayed at the Wailea Beach Resort and enjoyed watching your family’s experience there. Thank you for the amazing content.
Great video! We love the Wailea Beach Resort - your video brought back wonderful memories of our Honeymoon there in 1979! We have plans to return soon - Mahalo🌴
We love that resort! Adjacent to Wailea Shops! Also attended their amazing luau Te Au Moana. BTW, your ohana is beautiful, especially your kaikamahine Edith! Mahalo for sharing your great videos!
We just returned from the big island and Kauai and we use so many of your suggestions and tips during all of our Hawaiian adventures! Thank you for sharing your sweet family adventures in paradise! This looks like a wonderful place to stay next trip! ❤️
Love Maui. Though I am partial to the West Side, each vacation there always seems to include at least a few nights in Wailea- though usually at Andaz. Always great getting to see you guys enjoy a much needed break.
Thanks for the great video! My husband and I are staying here in November and I was SO happy to this on my feed. Loved that you captured the resort activities - I didn't know the canoe was included! Is the food also included with the stay?
Thanks for the comment. Glad you’re staying. The activities are included but not food. Hawaii doesn’t do all inclusive resorts as they want you to go out and explore the island!
I’ve never been to Maui but I’ve been to Kona and Waikiki beach in Honolulu. I had so much fun but Maui looks fun! Also we did the manta ray night dive which was fun! Love ur videos!
Henry has zero fear of water! Will he be going to kindergarten this fall, or does he have another year? It is going to come as quite the shock to the system, because he has had one heck of a kick butt childhood. 🤙 Edie was just so stinkin' cute with those flowers! 🌺🥰
We’re you guys just there this month? It doesn’t look nearly as crowded as I’d expected it to be in august- so much to do there wow! It looks like your family had a great time!!
We were there in the late spring. The hotel was full though as there was a large yoga conference in attendance. It has large grounds so doesn't feel crowded.
Great Video! Very informative. I need a favor though. Help me decide...Thanksgiving week with my family, 16 and 10 year old boys, and my folks coming...Looking at this Marriott vs Grand Wailea and/or Fairmont resorts? Right now this one looking great.
Excellent. Thanks sooo much. I have more videos to check out, and once I can zone in on a location, I'm eager to get an itinerary from you all. i wish there was an equivalent of@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide for Cabo and others. Keep it up!
Hey guys, great video as usual, my wife and I are heading back to Oahu and Maui in February of 2023, I have a question in regards to Pearl Harbor, we did the tour of the Arizona but that’s when the ramp system was damaged and we weren’t able to get on the memorial. My question was,is there a tour which we only can go to the Arizona and the aviation museum available? Thanks.
During our tour, our guide was able to help us move through the historical sites at a different pace than the rest of the folks on the tour to help with filming. You can talk to your guide (hint, tip nicely) to see if they can have you spend more time at PHAM. See our page here for the tour and our experience. thehawaiivacationguide.com/activities/pearl-harbor-tour-from-maui-kauai-or-big-island/
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Hey Guys, like I said in my previous response my wife and I are coming back to Waikiki in February for 4 days and we wanted to go back to Pearl Harbor, the day we chose was February 21st. I spoke with Hawaii tours yesterday and unfortunately they do not do that tour on Tuesdays, can you recommend another tour group since they cannot accommodate us. Thanks Steve & Lori.
Hi !! What was your room that you had in this video ? I’m going in April and I booked the premium ocean view. Was wondering if that was the room you were in ??
Would you recommend bringing DJI Mini 3 on vacation? Always wanted to buy a drone and a trip to Hawaii would probably be the best reason to buy it but not sure if I can actually use it at lot of places. Thinking about doing Maui for 5 days and maybe 3 days on either big island or Oahu for reference
I wouldn't recommend it. The weather can make it hard to fly. if you haven't flown a drone before or don't know where to fly legally, then I wouldn't recommend doing it in Hawaii
Your closing shot, you launched from your hotel room? I've always wanted to do that, but was worried about trying to land back on the balcony, also worried about how the hotel management would feel. How did you manage that? Did you have to turn the sensors on your drone off? Thank you!
Thank you for the video! My husband and I are booked in here shortly. How do you book the boat trip and activities? Do they book up fast? Also wondering about pool chairs. Lots of places allow people to throw a towel down to “reserve” the best spots at 6am and then no one comes back until 11am. So frustrating.
they don't allow pool chair saving as I agree, I don't like that. They will give you access to The Hub, their booking tool when you make a reservation. It is easy to book but book more than 3 days in advance during the busy season as they can fill up.
It is one resort with three pools. Two of the pools have infinity sections with ocean views. The #2 highlighted pool is the main adult pool. Thanks for watching as always!
I am staying here in a month and I have been told that you have to pay for the outrigger and kids club and the prices are insane. Was this not the case when you stayed?
the tight curls grew out to wavy hair. We hear from a lot of parents that it is common. we never cut the curls so we got to see the change when he was 3
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide my Grandbaby has curls like that but he is one year old now, I hope he gets to keep them, they’re so cute! Wavy hair is nice too, lol.

Great hip action on your dance Jordan. Thanks for mentioning to snorkel with a buddy.

Thanks for showing us the hotel and activities. Henry looks like he had tons of fun and both of you too. Does he ever wear shoes? LOL
no he doesn't unless we go to a grocery store, restaurant, etc. He has tough feet!
Very informative and I can’t wait to stay there.
Fantastic video! Thanks for keeping us dreaming. 🏄

Love this one! All the activities sounded great!! 😍😍😍
Awesome video we’ve never stayed on that side of Maui maybe it’s time to explore other island options with all you have showed
It is worth a visit as it is nice to spice things up.
I miss Maui! 🏝 Wailea Beach Resort was awesome this past May. So glad your beautiful family had a fabulous staycation 💛 ~Andrea🇨🇦

Agreed, West Maui is a fun place to stay but Wailea always feels like a welcome retreat.
We did a luau there last week and when we saw that adult infinity pool we said we need to stay here next time we come to Maui!
The luau looked like a lot of fun! It is a great location! Yes, worth going for that infinity pool and there is a bar at the pool too...
Love Wailea!! This resort isn't bad. The Wailea Beach Villas next door though are Amazing

The Whaler is a great location!
Love this type of video!! Please do more at various places in Maui!
We have a few in the line up! Oahu resort videos coming too. We've had a busy summer.
Totally thought u hit that white suburban with your car door at the very beginning of the video, couldn’t know for sure though😂
haha, I missed them! The Nissan LEAF has tiny doors.
Henry has zero fear of water! Will he be going to kindergarten this fall, or does he have another year? It is going to come as quite the shock to the system, because he has had one heck of a kick butt childhood. 🤙

Last time we stayed here back in March 2019 you could relax in the infinity pool and watch the humpback whales breach off the coast. So awesome!

ALoha~ Could you tell me type of camera/settings you have used to record this walk~ so clear~ Mahalo for the Video!

Have you ever been to wakiki if so where is a good place to stay not looking for high dollar
we have a video on that: th-cam.com/video/1r0lNYPf760/w-d-xo.html

Is all the activities and swimming pools/slides all inclusive?
Yes, they are included with your stay

i see it's 1000$ per day.... i little too expensive for me.... :(
a very expensive place, like most Wailea resorts. Prices are dropping for the fall.
Omgoodness, Maui is not a stay vacation for 99% of us, lol
We're at Ventura, California beach today, not a resort we have sand and waves!
Ventura is a beautiful place. Drive into Ojai!
