Or to mention red sand beach a 5 minute walk away from your room which is the best part of Maui! I worked at this hotel and lived in Hana a couple years and was a great experience. Walked the whole island and explored the non tourist areas and found what I needed. Life changing the longer you stay!
Its one thing to get supplies to Maui, Its a whole different thing getting supplies to Hana. Thats why expensive - not captive audience. And Hana/Maui Resort owns the Hana Ranch Restaurant. Breakfast on Hotel Grounds - lunch dinner at Ranch Restaurant up da road.
Really appreciate this review, as we will be staying here for two nights in February for our honeymoon! We reserved a studio with partial ocean view with points and, like you said, I’ve heard we should decline an upgrade to a garden suite room and cross our fingers for an upgrade to an ocean view suite.
Excellent review of the property. We were there in December. We, as Globalist, were given the same room and we were not happy. When on the lounges you cannot see the ocean and we had a great view of the service road and trucks. Complained to Hyatt Globalist line and on our last night we were moved to the handicap room next to the pool and it was much more modern and looked directly out at the ocean. Occupancy at the hotel was very low when we were there. I felt that Globalist meant nothing to them and they only gave benefits when they had to. It took forever to get a buggy ride. We had been at Ventalla prior to this and Ventalla in everyway was much, much better than this location. You think as a Globalist they will give you the really nice ocean front room, but if you do get it, you were much more lucky than my wife and I. The view there is awesome, but lots of better places to spend your Hyatt points in my opinion.
I hear you. I do wish they’d open up the ocean view suites as upgrades, or proactively offer ocean views as the upgrades. Overall, I loved the feel of the place and I was happy to be on that side of the resort. Food was great too

How did you get room upgraded?
I have globalist status with Hyatt!
Do you know if you can use points to book and then upgrade to one of the ocean view bungalows with cash?
Usually that's possible at resorts!
so is it an all inclusive? food/ booze?
no
I heard a rumor that the Hana Maui resort is being renovated and turned into an Alila property. Can you confirm this rumor?
I can’t confirm that
Unfortunately they won’t let you book a family room with points👎
That’s a bummer!
