We were recommended to Ritz Carlton Kapalua by Greathawaiivacations.com. We were not disapointed. The beauty of the area coupled with the service cannot be surpassed. We spent most of our time just drinking mai tais and hanging out in the pool. What a relaxing time...... Can't wait to go back.....

Breaking away from our norm...
My wife and I are big fans of Maui but have generally stayed in Kaanapali. We were absolutely delighted that we chose to stay at the Ritz Carlton Kapalua. We had a suite on the 8th floor with perfect views of the sunsets and the perfectly manicured grounds.
The tiered pool that seemed to flow infinately into the ocean. Food and Service continually exceeded our expectations. And, we were still on Maui, able to visit many of our favorite island places. Thanks Great Hawaii Vacations for, what you have called, an excellent 'vacation in paradise.'

Best vacation ever!
We had a great time in Maui thanks to everyone at Great Hawaii Vacations. They really put together the best package possible and saved us a lot of money over trying to do things ourselves. Moreover, they were extremely accomodating in changing our dates without any trouble. I can't thank them enough.
The Ritz-Carlton is definitely my favorite hotel worldwide, hands down. Beyond the top of the line room and beautiful views, it was the concierge that really put them over the top. These guys were able to get us reservations at the busiest restaurant in town for the 4th of July, right on the beach to watch the fireworks presentation while everyone else waited hours to even get in... I still can't believe it. They also booked all of our activities and gave us recommendations for all of the best places to visit.
Overall, there isnt' one thing I would change, except staying longer of course. For anyone looking to vacation in Maui, I don't think you can look anywhere else than the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua.
Again, great trip, and we can't wait to see you again soon.

Thank you so much for helping me book my hotel through Great Hawaii Vacations. I originally booked the Aqua Wave Hotel, and you offered a recommendation on the Resortquest Waikiki Beach Hotel. I took your advice and cannot thank you enough. The location was great, as well as the amenities & services the hotel had to offer. I would definately stay at that hotel again.
