Snagged Cabana #21 at the Grand Wailea today. It’s a nice spot to relax but it’s prohibitively expensive at $600 for the standard. It came with fruit and banana bread in the morning, and several hours later we received a bag of snacks consisting of chips, candy and cookies.

Check in time was at 7am. You normally get a choice of 3 locations but we didn’t get any of our choices as the top portion of pools had their cabanas closed today. I do wish someone would have let me know when we made the reservation. Still the spot we got was nice. It’s an easy spot to get in and out of the pool and close to the restrooms, water refill station and beach.

It’s a nice place to relax, just don’t expect the timelines the Wailea gives you to be met. We were told on checkin that there would be snacks every 90 minutes, but when that starts is a mystery. Their website and confirmation system also has conflicting times for what the hours of the cabana are. I’m going to trust the time the attendant told us of 5pm.

You can also order food from the poolside bar and restaurant, Surf Haus. It’s not cheap (nothing at this hotel is) but they have pretty decent food if you’re feeling lazy/want to enjoy being by the pool.

Overall it’s a relaxing place to chill by the pool and eat some snacks. Beware of the birds, they are always watching and waiting.
