Four Seasons construction/arrive 6/15-6/20

We%26#39;re debating on whether to book the FS after reading about the construction that appears to be going on. I am travelling with a good friend and both our daughters and want this to be a really special trip (it%26#39;s been a difficult year). Any advice on room requests if we stay at FS? GW full. Fairmont full. Have never been to Wailea and would appreciate advice. Am willing to spend whatever it takes to make this trip memorable. Thanks!

Maybe you are set on Wailea, but if not, you could always try Kaanapali. Don%26#39;t know about availability, but The Sheraton, Westin and Hyatt are all very, very nice and consistently get raves here on TA. The pools, particularly at the Westin, are spectacular and very fun. Plus, you would be within walking distance of Whaler%26#39;s Village for the girls, and also much closer to Lahaina, which has fun shopping and plenty of restaurant options.

Just an alternative if you decided you don%26#39;t want to deal with construction at the FS.

Thanks for your reply. Both the Westin and the Sheraton are sold out. Have read extensively about the Hyatt and it sounds just okay - good pools, beach so-so. Sounds like a very busy area. It is only a bit cheaper than the rate we are getting at the FS but that being said, I%26#39;m not opposed to checking it out.

I%26#39;m a hotel snob and customer service is very important to me. I don%26#39;t think the Hyatt rates well on that. Any other info is always appreciated.

I can%26#39;t give anything but very high marks for the customer service at the Hyatt Regency. They always go out of their way to help us with anything we ask and we%26#39;ve been there every year since 1982.

I%26#39;m a construction snob-Why oh why do these resorts have construction on property in peak season!~!!!

Aloha! I just returened today:( and we stayed at the FS. The construction was very minima. In fact I didn%26#39;t see or hear anything.

The service there is amazing! The only thing I reccomend is that you get up early to get a pool chair or see if you can reserve one for the week or however long you are there. You won%26#39;t be dissappointed with FS!

I stayed at the Four Seasons for 4 nights during my honeymoon in the first week of May---simply the best hotel I%26#39;ve ever stayed at, and the construction was barely noticeable. I only noticed it because of some previous postings that I read on Trip Advisor discussing it. I think they are making a real conscious effort to shield their customers from it..

stay at the FS. There is no better service anywhere on the island. Just stayed there in October and the construction was at it%26#39;s peak and still was not that bad. I don%26#39;t know if your kidding when you say ';money is no object'; but if your not, book a oceanview room in the FS and you couldn%26#39;t do any better. The FS service is out of this world and the rooms are spotless. The food is way overpriced and not that good. The fitness area is the best and the service you get from the beach boys is always over the top.

Going back the same time you will be there but staying in a condo up on the hill by Joes. Over the crowd at the hotel and just want a little more room.

The GW is not that nice and has really turned into convention hotel. The Fairmont is nice but the beach out front is not half as good as the one in front of the FS. The Fairmont also nickel and dimes you to death.

I%26#39;ve been to maui at least 15 times and if staying at a resort the FS is where i stay.

I just arrived back today and just finished a long review. I actually forgot to mention anything about the construction as it was not intrusive. I heard a little bit of chipping duirng the day and one of the stores was in a temporary location. Seriously this was it, not sure what the other complaints are about. I would call the resort if you are concerned they seem very happy to help and I am sure they will let you know what the schedule is for the week you are considering, We were actually given a letter at check in describing what was being done that week and what to expect.

BTW this was our second trip in 1.5 years to FS Maui and we loved it!

My family has stayed at the FS twice during the renovations (Oct 06 and Apr 07) and never felt inconvenienced or bothered in any way. These renovations have been very well planned and the impact on guests has been minimized as much as possible. Contact the FS and ask what specifically will be going on during the period you want to stay then make your decision. In my opinion you can%26#39;t go wrong with this hotel.

If money is no object, why not book a Wailea Beach Villa Penthouse??

I don%26#39;t think it gets any better, and you%26#39;ll have an extra 2000 sq ft or so!!
