We
had
an
epic
trip
to
Maui
at
the
Hyatt
Regency/Residence.
I
have
a
family
of
7.
Rooms:
the
rooms
are
beautiful.
They
are
in
excellent
condition
and
well
maintained.
We
had
a
two
queen
room
connected
to
a
king
with
hide-a-bed
couch.
The
two
queen
room
had
two
excellent
beds
and
my
big
kids
had
no
complaints.
The
king
was
fantastic
(I
often
struggle
sleeping
in
new
beds
and
it
was
great
right
from
the
start).
The
hide-a-bed
was
pretty
mediocre.
I
would
not
have
wanted
to
put
anyone
over
10
or
so
on
it.
It
was
floppy
and
the
support
bars
could
be
felt
through
the
bed.
The
room
has
a
nice
little
fridge
we
used
to
store
some
snacks
and
breakfast
food
(no
freezer).
It
would
have
been
great
if
they
had
included
a
small
microwave
to
warm
up
some
of
our
leftovers.
Our
were
hotel
rooms
and
did
not
include
a
kitchenette.
For
timeshare
people
this
was
a
big
change
and
makes
food
much
more
expensive.
Service:
every
interaction
we
had
with
the
staff
was
excellent.
They
were
just
generous
and
attentive
at
every
front.
We
attended
the
Hyatt
Luau
and
the
service
there
was
excellent
as
well.
We
didn't
eat
in
any
of
the
Hyatt
restaurants
so
don't
have
perspective
on
that
side
of
the
service.
Location:
This
Hyatt
location
is
fantastically
positioned.
I
think
Hyatt
may
have
the
nicest
overall
pool
configuration
of
the
resorts
we
saw
(I
walked
through
4
or
5
neighboring
properties
one
evening).
There
are
3
distinct
pools
one
especially
designed
for
kids
with
a
toddler
area
and
slide
and
a
larger
slide
for
bigger
kids.
There
is
a
large
more
traditional
pool.
The
third
pool
is
on
the
back
side
of
the
Hyatt
Residence
building
and
has
numerous
shallow
pools
connected
by
waterfalls
and
a
slide.
It
is
a
really
neat
configuration.
There
are
plentiful
chairs
and
shelters
to
provide
a
place
to
relax
and
get
out
of
the
sun
when
you
need
to.
Overall
the
location
maintenance
was
probably
the
weakest
element
of
the
property.
There
were
fraying
covers
on
a
cable
bridge,
cracking
and
peeling
on
fixture
floats
in
the
toddler
area.
None
of
these
things
seemed
big
or
costly
to
repair,
I
was
surprised
they
were
not
better
maintained.
While
pools
are
open
long
hours
the
slides
are
only
open
from
10a-5p.
Given
our
adventurous
approach
to
vacation,
this
meant
our
kids
often
missed
the
part
of
the
pool
they
were
most
interested
in.
It
is
also
notable
that
the
property
is
quite
dark
after
sunset
so
the
pool
areas
don't
feel
accessible
even
though
they
are
open.
I
assume
the
lack
of
lighting
is
ordinance
driven
to
reduce
light
pollution
(the
stars
are
amazing
even
in
populated
areas).
That
said,
it
would
have
been
nice
to
have
a
little
more
pool
lighting.
The
beach
at
Hyatt
was
the
weakest
of
the
Kanapalli
resorts.
The
sandy
part
of
the
beach
was
very
short
and
was
in
process
trying
to
be
protected
from
washing
away
with
an
ugly
canvas
type
cover
on
the
hill
between
pool
area
and
beach.
The
waves
often
washed
right
up
to
the
protected
area
leaving
little
or
no
sand
to
lie
on
or
leave
towels,
etc.
Everything
will
eventually
get
wet.
Other
resorts
had
much
deeper
sandy
areas
and
much
nicer
beaches.
There
is
a
reef
in
front
of
the
hotel,
but
it
appears
to
be
pretty
well
destroyed
by
years
of
tourist
abuse.
If
you
plan
to
snorkel
I
would
recommend
other
places.
In
any
case,
don't
walk
on
the
reef,
Maui
is
working
hard
to
protect
and
restore
the
reefs,
do
your
bit.
Last
I
need
to
mention,
the
Hyatt
is
very
expensive,
everything
is
expensive.
Non-valet
parking
is
difficult
to
use
and
hard
to
access.
Valet
parking
is
expensive
and
should
be
tipped.
The
restaurants
will
be
greater
than
25
per
person
for
both
breakfast
and
lunch,
dinner
will
be
more.
For
a
family
of
7
it
was
generally
too
expensive
for
our
budget.
We
did
order
some
pizza
and
burgers,
both
were
excellent,
even
exceptional.
Overall
the
Hyatt
was
an
exceptional
experience,
so
appreciated
the
staff
and
beautiful
facility.
