Location was fabulous. Staff were all very professional and friendly. But certain drinks were unreasonably expensive! Example a glass of Lamarca Prosecco was around $24 a glass. At the nearby Country store the very same bottle was the same price as 1 glass at your hotel! That was infuriating.

The hotel was under construction. My room was surrounded by scaffolding. The walkway to the pool was closed. There were men working with drills and jack hammers working on the outside wall of our room. The shower was covered in Black Mold. The toilet had a sewer smell when it flushed. The room across the hall had sewer issues with guys working on it. The fridge froze everything g even on the lowest setting. There were used coffee pods that were never cleaned up from the previous guest. The elevator broke down and they routed us through a dirty service area to a back elevator. This was not at all what I expected from a Ritz Carlton.

We stayed at the Ritz for our 30th anniversary. It was absolutely fabulous! We were upgraded to a beautiful ocean view room. The entire staff were so welcoming, so friendly and called us by name. The pools are beautiful, the beach wasn’t crowded, the restaurants were wonderful. We absolutely loved the valet staff Nuti, Filau and Micheal. They gave us great dining and adventure ideas. We will absolutely be staying at the Ritz every time we visit Maui!!
