wailea beach resort, maui

Once a year, my family goes to hawaii to celebrate my brother’s birthday. I guess all those years of being sad in school for having a birthday in the summer is really paying off now, because hawaii is the place to be on your birthday. Well, anywhere on vacation really, but Hawaii happens to be the best.

The wailea beach resort is part of the marriot chain hotels and is absolutely fabulous. Multiple restaurants on the property, an adult only pool separate from the kids pool, plus right on the beach next to all the other awesome resorts.

I truly love coming back to this hotel. My day looks like this I wake up, 7am yoga class (because I’m coming from CA 7am is 9am, so i’m awake and ready!), breakfast at Humble Market Kitchin (that is not a spelling error, it is Humble Market Kitchin, spelled with an “i”). Then a shower and off to the adult pool to read, swim and nap. There are servers walking around checking on everyone and handing out frozen pieces on pineapple. Such a refreshing treat! Lunch is usually poolisde before we all get ready for dinner. Like I said, there are a lot of options for food at the hotel, but a little walk or hop in the car are there are a ton of delicious options. My favs include: Ka'Ana Kitchen (Andaz Hotel), Monkey Pod (kihei & Kaanapali), Lahaina Grill (in Lahaina) and Leodas (also in Lahaina, famous for their pies). This day on repeat for a week.
