Hawaii - enjoying Wailea


Ahead of flying to Maui we had to take another COVID test in Oahu and complete all of the forms again - we traveled on June 11 and the interisland test requirements ended on June 15 so we were on the tail end of having to do this. That said, we met some honeymooners who didn't know this was a requirement and were stuck in Oahu airport waiting for results to come in.

The girls sat together on the short flight to Maui, we passed COVID screening, picked up our bags, and picked up our rental car. Check in to the Grand Wailea was easy and we were greeted by another amazing view - we could watch sunset from our balcony. I also made a Shipt order for some groceries to be delivered to the hotel and this was a nice snack refresh. 


The Grand Wailea is simply an amazing property - there is so much art and beauty to admire. The girls were each given a hotel passport of things to find so we enjoyed learning a bit more about the art through this book.











We booked cabanas for two of the pool days and this was nice - we had a dedicated spot, shade, and spent pretty much all of those days at the pool and beach. S absolutely loved the slides and C enjoyed most of them through the week. S also liked the Tarzan swing and we all liked the lazy river area. S also joined a pool game of volleyball for a bit. 

We also enjoyed pizza and dinner at the hotel cafe a few days and also enjoyed the open air more casual dinner restaurant a few evenings. 

We found the closed kids club (boo covid) and played on some of their outdoor equipment for a bit.

All in all we loved our third visit to the Grand Wailea and can't wait to return.
