The hotel property is truly beautiful and the service was exceptional, but the beach experience was disappointing. We had issues with noise from neighboring rooms which affected our sleep, and the food was quite good but expensive. Overall, it's a beautiful location but may require a reconsideration for the beach access next time.

The Ritz Carlton in Kapalua offers stunning views and has a beautiful setting, but I found the overall experience lacking compared to its luxurious reputation. The staff is attentive and friendly, but the rooms and facilities felt outdated and not up to par. Dining was average, particularly the poolside options, and additional charges for amenities were disappointing.

The amenities were nice but the pool scene felt overcrowded, and there were frustrating policies around reserving sunbeds. Overall, it lacked the attention to detail one would expect from a luxury resort.
