However, instead of making sails together, guests bond with their friends over crispy pork belly and grilled octopus. Guests can have a chef come to their suite and prepare a meal in their private kitchen (and enjoy it on their private lanai) or choose from the multiple restaurants on the property: Cane & Canoe serves gourmet Hawaiian fare inside a space that’s based on the island’s traditional canoe houses that function both as functional and social space. Beach access is found at the end of a lovely garden walk.

Aptly named Sunset Pool, the main pool cascades down the center of the property in a series of waterfalls, coves and adjoining pools. The huge three-floor spa includes a eucalyptus steam room and cedar sauna, an outdoor bamboo rainfall shower and a heated salt water infinity-edge pool that overlooks the ocean as well as a tome of treatments that range from the mani-pedi spa standards to ‘awa and cacao or algae and aloe cocoons that touch up sun-kissed skin. The resort also offers the necessities of the modern traveler albeit with Hawaiian flare.
MONTAGE KAPALUA BAY RESORT HOW TO
The resort relies on “cultural ambassadors” to inform and direct the atmosphere: guests are welcome to learn how to make lei’s, play the ukulele, learn the hula’s symbolic movements or tour the local museums to get a sense of the island. Local woods like macadamia, mango, and teak as well as bamboo and rattan anchor the spaces to the island, while color-saturated textiles in bright gold, coral and teal bring in the vibrant tropical landscaping outside. The suites are contemporary, but have the backbone of island authenticity. One to four bedrooms, the 50 suites vary in floorplan and size as well as view (garden or ocean) but all are rooted in the Hawaiian ideals of cultivating pono and hookipa- harmony and hospitality. The all-suite property sprawls atop 24 lush, tropical acres on the western coast of Maui. What it isn'tĪ boutique collection of bungalows nor a sleek, young party pad. Very convenient for dining and the occasional run up to the general store.Amidst abundant tropical flowers, it’s a sprawling, family-friendly resort with a sincere nod to Hawaiian culture. Loved the private transpiration within the Kapalua resort. Very helpful, always addressing us by name. In room dining food and service excellent.

Also, I found it odd the entire top level of the pool complex isn't adults only since there is a hot tub and a little lagoon area to the right of the Serenity pool which was full of families and loud kids which made the Serenity pool not so serene. Loved the adults only pool but no staff seemed to do anything to limit kids access so there were occasionally kids screaming through the pool. Towels poolside were the only thing I found lacking, stained and small. Loungers around the pool were outstanding. Very private with lots of hidden lagoons. The pool is the most amazing pool we've ever seen. Coffee was very good provided in the room with a very nice carafe style coffee maker. We could have cooked complex meals and would have had everything we needed. Beautiful decor, comfy furniture, and especially the amazing balcony with daybed, loungers and large dining table. The 2 bedroom ocean-view villa was exceptional. Our new favorite Hawaiian resort by far and maybe the best tropical location resort we've visited.
