Hampton Inn & Suites Maui North Shore

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed this hotel. The room was very spacious, the staff was very friendly and I loved the location. There is actually a hidden private beach and I love that the parking was super convenient for my rental. The location is great and there are many food options nearby and it s located perfectly 10 min from the airport, 20 min from the road to Hāna and 20 min from the harbor to go whale watching. Overall I loved this hotel !"

Maui Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a room that had an ocean view and it was great. The room was smaller but as expected for a smaller hotel. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The beach access was great, it was like a private beach and the hotel had a cute common area inside and outside for guests. The staff was super friendly. Tiana was the best! Everyday she was friendly and engaging, had the great recommendations and would always check in to see how my day was. I would definitely stay here again. "
