West Maui hotel guide. Highgate Independent hotel in West Maui, Hawaii

"Very nice"

"Non paying customers using pool area . Limited seating for guests.."

"Check in was not smooth. They asked us to pay more resort fee than what was clearly written in our booking. In "

"Resort was beautiful! However, there was just one small inconvenience which was the lost of internet connection and so we were not able to stream YouTube for 2 days. Other than that the resort was awesome in every way. Staffs were super friendly and helpful!"

"Perfect beach view. We got to see whales everyday from our balcony! Binoculars are a plus. Only complaint would be the bed was uncomfortable and the pool needed to be cleaned. Loved everything else! "

"My husband and I had a great experience overall. This was our second time staying at this specific resort (first time was in 2022). Our room was clean, the outdoor pools were good, and the staff was nice and helpful. This resort used to have a shuttle that would take guests to specific stops in town as part of the resort fee, like the Cannery, but when we were there in March 2026, we learned they no longer run that shuttle. If I had to guess, it is likely because some of those shuttle stops no longer exist sadly due to the 2023 Lahaina fire. Small things we noticed: the elevator lights weren't working for several days of our trip, but the staff hung a lantern temporarily and the lighting was fixed eventually. A few tiles were loose around the pool area. Not the resort's fault, but it seemed that several activities that are usually offered as part of the resort fee were canceled while we were there due to the rain storms that happened during our trip. Guests should keep in mind that a lot of activities are very much dependent on good weather and be ready to find alternative plans in case of rain. "

"Property was in excellent shape. Drinks were excellent, especially the spicy Bloody Mary. Beach very accessible and clean."

"What i liked most about this property is ALL rooms have a beach view. Even the non beach view rooms have a good view of the beach and the room i was assigned to had a mountain view aswell"

"Check in was fast and easy. The room was very nice, clean, comfortable and the area was beautiful."
