The detailed program offers authentic Hawaiian experiences that range from educational classes, to cultural music and celebrations, to local dining experiences, all available within a luxury hotel setting.
The Hawaiian Canoe Experience teaches guests Hawaiian traditions while offering a fun adventure. Participants learn the basics of paddling, as well as the history of the canoe and its importance to Hawaiian heritage. Used by native Hawaiians to cross the rough channels between the islands, the outrigger canoe was built out of koa and other hard native woods. Not only an instrument of fishing and sustenance gathering, the outrigger became the long distance means by which Hawaiians, and the greater Polynesian society projected both settlements and conquests. The Hawaiian Canoe Experience fills up quickly and advanced reservations are required.
However you choose to spend your time, be sure to open your mind and your heart to the Hawaiian culture. Hawaiians believe that we need to be conscious and grateful of all the things around us: our health, our family, and nature. The incredible culture is based on the fundamental principles of love, support, hospitality, and giving without the expectation of receiving.

Apr 07, 2025Best property in Hawaii!
Outstanding resort - the amenities, the room, the service, the views, the beach, and the food. All five stars. Best vacation we’ve ever had! Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Hawaii. We had a one bedroom ocean view for three nights and it was so spacious - our three kids slept on the pullout soft and chaise lounge comfortably. Bathroom is huge - large enough for my three daughters and me to get ready each night. The texting feature with staff for room service or a shuttle to/from town was so easy and efficient. We will be back for a longer visit soon!

Apr 01, 2025Strongly consider the Four Seasons
We are currently staying here. It is a nice hotel but for the cost, the Waldorf (grand Wailea) or Four Seasons are probably better. The Kea Lani closes the beach at 4:00. Rodney, the beach guy is going around at 3:45 saying 30 minutes until closing time. At 3:50 he saying 15 minutes by 4 pm he is saying time to take the chairs in. I asked the manager why they close so early, he starts to say something about the law and they have to close then. Then I asked how does the four seasons get to keep their chairs out until sunset and he responds with well we had problems with people partying and we have to close now. Not sure what to believe. On April 1, 2025 at 4 pm there were probably 50 Kea Lani guests being asked to leave since they wanted to clean the chairs up. We have stayed at the hotel for 5 days now. They have a sign up that states no chair saving at the pool, if you leave your items unattended for over an hour we will move them and give the chairs to someone else. We are rule followers and don’t save chairs since they ask you not to. Although the Farimont Kea Lani rewards the non rule followers. We have yet to get chairs at the pool. On a typical day the chairs are about 25% populated and none available. I would strongly consider the four seasons next time, especially if it was only 25% more or less.

A vacation in paradise
We spent 7 wonderful days enjoying your hotel. We had been to the Fairmont two previous times, but this was our first time back since the remodel. It is stunning. We enjoyed our days by the Adult pool on chairs in the grass area. The service was incredible. A huge shout out to Maddy who helped us for several days, her smile and personality were wonderful!! The staff in general go above and beyond.. One comment we do have is that the pool chairs need an upgrade. Many are coming a part.. We enjoyed the Pilina Bar, Chris and Leslie are fantastic! We look forward to returning!! Thank you.

Perfect Family Beach Vacation
One of our most memorable and amazing family trips yet at Fairmont Kea Lani! This was our fifth trip to the hotel in the past 10 years. Thanks to Christian at the front desk for assisting us with our paid upgrade to the ocean view two bedroom villa, it was beyond our dreams and expectations. The villa private plunge pool was incredible after spending hours in the ocean and the family pool. The villa’s kitchen and living space served us well as we hosted friends and family for meals. The service and attention to detail by staff were impeccable; the text messaging response was timely and accurate. The breakfast buffet is amazing. The variety and food quality is excellent. My personal favorite is the Maui Moco! Always a pleasure to see Chris every morning at the Kea Lani Restaurant. He has a heart of gold and provides service with a smile. Seeing him over these many years is like visiting a friend. Until next time, Chris! The snorkeling to the north of Polo Beach is fantastic if you can make it almost all the way to Four Seasons Resort. We saw turtles every day. We are impressed by the recent property-wide renovations. 10/10! We look forward to returning to the Fairmont Kea Lani. In the meantime, we will be dreaming about this perfect family beach vacation for many years to come. Thanks to the wonderful staff at your beautiful hotel!

Wow Maui Stay
The resort was everything we hoped it would be , and more. The grounds were extensive with multiple pools and the location of the property on Polo Beach was perfect. Restaurants are great (like other restaurants in Maui, they're pricey) , a good option if you have kids is the Market - ice cream and food ! The rooms are huge and recently renovated . At the end of it all , it is truly the staff that make the experience undeniably amazing. You can't go wrong staying here !
