It was a little more expensive but that's probably because everything has to be shipped from Oahu to Maui. The open-air restaurant above the pool is fabulous for a sunset drink or the strawberry parfait! The beach is a little rocky but there's still room to layout...or you could rent two cabana chairs with umbrellas for * per day. I didn't do the beachside massage but they were actually booked almost the entire three days we were there.

We stayed for seven days and can't wait to go back. This place is so beautiful. The staff is very friendly and treat you like family. Excellent food and entertainment. We will stay here again next year.

My husband and I stayed for 6 nights here on a business incentive trip and it was unbelievable. Our room view was right out of the brochure overlooking the pond and ocean. The room was big and comfortable and nicely decorated. The pool and waterslide were awesome even though you had to hunt for a chair that wasn't "saved" with a towel. The food was really pricey, but declicious. In whalers village you can find cheaper options just a walk down the boardwalk. They were starting construction on addding a restaurant, but they did the best they could to hide it.

My husband and I visited Maui last June and stayed at the Hyatt Regency. We loved it so much that we decided to return for a shorter stay this spring. The grounds are very nice and spread out enough that you don’t feel cramped, but you also only have a short walk to get to from one side of the resort to the other. We love staying on Kaanapali beach since there are so many ammenites and restaurants, but being at the Hyatt is the best because it is toward the end and therefore doesn’t have too much “beach traffic”. The other reviewers talked about how small the Hyatt’s beach is, but they have a big nice, quite beach right in front of the spa. They must have been walking toward Whalers Village and missed it. Speaking of the spa; check out their facilities! You can get a 25min beach front massage for less than in the spa and still use their facilities, or you can pay $15 for a day and it is really worth it. It’s a great place to relax and get cleaned up after a day at the beach. This is very handy if you have a late flight, but want to hang out at the pool or beach after checkout. It’s a lot nicer than the free locker rooms and you can use their body products, hairdryers and curling iron. Oh, don’t pay for the upgrade to a partial ocean view, we had more of an ocean view from our terrace on the first floor and the rooms are exactly the same. Besides, you will only be in your room when it’s dark.

The grounds are very,very well kept, with lots of eye candy. The endless stores and shops off the lobby were a plus.The front desk was friendly and service was prompt. Room service was always 30 min or less. Meals were $$$ (way over priced)but made up in serving size. The Regency Club Lounge offered a great relief in between meals. Its host, fresh snacks and endless Starbucks coffee was a great bonus feature. The free trolly to Whalers Village helped us since we did not rent a car. House keeping was hard at work all day, keeping linens fresh and changed. We didnt go to the pool alot but chairs were often taken. My 11yo son went to Camp Hyatt (6p-10p) but was bored. He did not want to go back due to the # of toddlers he was mixed with. My only complaint about Camp Hyatt is they need games/staff for the older kids they serve. We were treated very well and if it were not sooooo far from Richmond, Va we would return much sooner.
