"The island’s only all-suite-and-villa oceanfront resort wins big on space—suites start at a generous 850 square feet and comfortably fit five, while three-bedroom villas stretch to 2,200 square feet with full kitchens, expansive living areas, private plunge pools, and outdoor barbecues. Family-friendly touches abound, from full-size cribs and travel-size baby gear on request to a lively family pool with a thrilling 140-foot waterslide and basketball hoop, plus cabanas stocked with snacks and unlimited nonalcoholic drinks and a separate keiki pool for the littlest swimmers. Polo Beach fronts the resort for easy snorkeling, and in winter you can often spot humpback whales playing offshore." - Catherine Toth Fox

"A family-focused Wailea retreat offering some of Maui’s largest accommodations—413 one-bedroom suites (starting at about 860 sq ft) and 37 two- and three-bedroom villas (starting around 1,800 sq ft)—with separate sleeping and living areas, furnished outdoor spaces, kitchen facilities, and villas with plunge pools and barbecues for group gatherings. The property recently opened an open-air cultural center, Hale Kukuna, developed with a cultural advisory board to host lei making and Native Hawaiian artisan displays; recreation includes two lagoon-style pools connected by a 140-foot waterslide, an adults-only pool, outrigger canoe journeys, and locally inspired treatments at the Willow Stream Spa, plus multiple on-site restaurants including an oceanfront bar serving sustainably sourced sushi." - Jill K.
