South Maui hotel guide. Fairmont hotel in South Maui, Hawaii

"It was just... okay. Friendly staff, room was average, kinda dated, location was great, easy to find. For what you pay I'd expect a nicer experience but I guess everything in Hawaii is outrageously expensive. Wifi also didn't work which they kindly refunded the hotel fee for, but still, I wasn't impressed. "

"Very nice hotel with clean rooms and great location. Would stay again. "

"Best spot for us in Kihei! Walk to beaches, great food nearby, shuttle driver to take us to shopping, further beaches & restaurants. Beach chair rental at hotel. Super friendly staff. I love the pool and pool bar with food. Live music that sets the mood at night. I can't wait to return. Our trip was perfect. "

"Great. "

"From the moment we arrived, Maui Banyan exceeded every expectation. The property is immaculate — our unit was spotlessly clean, thoughtfully appointed, and felt like a true home away from home rather than a generic hotel room. The location in Kihei is unbeatable. You’re steps from the beach, walking distance to great restaurants and shops along South Kihei Road, and perfectly positioned to explore everything South Maui has to offer. We never felt like we needed to drive far for anything. The pool and amenities are outstanding — well-maintained, never overcrowded, and a genuinely relaxing place to spend the afternoon after a morning at the beach. It’s the kind of resort where you don’t feel the need to leave. What really set this stay apart was the responsiveness of the host. Every question we had was answered quickly and warmly — it made the whole experience feel seamless and stress-free from check-in to checkout."

"Slightly wear down property, especially bathroom Rooms were fine Also not much insulation between the rooms so it can get noisy "

"The room was very clean, bed was comfortable and the extra amenities in the room (beach chairs and towels) were a welcomed added touch. "

"Beach chairs cost $150 per and you have to get up at 5:45am if you want a pool chair. The pool was dirty"

"We were unaware that house keepers would be coming while we were out. Would have preferred they did not. Grounds and pool very good. Condo was specious. Bed comfortable. Could not lower shades in larger bedroom so we slept in smaller on. Overall we would stay there again"
