Beautiful Resort

Sun Aug 17 2025 12:44:04 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by CNTX

Beautiful property with relaxing atmosphere. The beach was pretty and very calm, great for snorkeling. We hiked to the beach through the trail but wasn’t worth it. The wind was blowing sand and we weren’t able to stay for more than a few minutes. The pool area is nice and has a variety of different areas to enjoy.

Exemplary Service

We came to the Montage Kapalua Bay for 3 weeks in July 2025 with 5 family members: 2 vegan (fairly straightforward); 1 with severe diverticulosis who must not have anything with seeds, nuts or kernels (even cucumbers and tomatoes) or a hospital visit is on the menu; 1 with burning mouth and throat syndrome who must eat totally plain food prepared on a clean pan or grill with no salt, pepper or even garnish, or the chronic burning escalates for several days, and 1 teenager who can eat anything. I spoke with Sous Chef April before we arrived. She entered extensive notes in the Montage computer system and assured me that wherever we went in the Resort, the chefs and servers would access these notes/requirements and deliver meals without any difficulties (even at the pools). She also gave me her mobile number. On our first night, Executive Chef Justin, took our order, and adjusted menu items to fit our challenges. Everything was perfection (even the stir-fried breaded tofu, and I don’t like tofu). Sous Chef Zach made dishes for us that were not on menu. He took our order and came out 2-3 times to check on us. On the last evening, the 2 vegans had a craving for vegan burgers, but it was not on the menu nor was anything similar. Chef Zach made the best vegan burgers we’d ever had—terrific seasonings. Three times we got a whole Maui Gold pineapple sliced into chunks and placed back into the pineapple that was Not on the menu. We can still taste the sweetness. One night we went to a special event and Chef April sent a beautiful large fruit plate just for us since we couldn’t have the regular menu for this event. One day we made guacamole in our unit, and I decided I’d ask the pool server for a bag of their homemade fresh corn chips (not on the menu). We had them hot in less than 10 minutes. For the entire 3 weeks, we didn’t have any eating problems (which is rare for us, given the difficult challenges), and we felt like we had our own private chefs. We can’t wait to return. Art Gechman

Montage Kapalua is a 5 Star Gem on Maui

Sun Aug 10 2025 17:38:42 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by AndreaLW_3

Our family had a wonderful and extremely comfortable stay at the Montage Kapalua. We have stayed at several resorts in Maui but the Montage was by far the most special. The concierge/front desk was attentive to our situation and upgraded us to a beautiful and extremely comfortable residence that really enhanced our stay. We are so thankful for that. We loved our pool experience at the Montage Kapalua and found the pool to be so lovely, serene and fun for adults and kids alike. The adult pool at the spa is also wonderful and so serene and lovely. The spa rocked. The breakfasts, poolside drinks/snacks and dinners were all delicious. The easy beach access was awesome. The concierge also accommodated our late checkout request with ease making for an extremely comfortable end to our trip. The construction on the property was handled well, didn’t interfere with our stay at all, and the resort on its own initiative offered a $200 daily credit to compensate for it which was appreciated. The Montage Kapalua is wonderful and we definitely plan to return whenever we come to Maui again.

Great experience - definitely will be back

Wed Aug 06 2025 21:24:54 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Mobile406739

We go to Hawaii every year and we have stayed at many of the 5 star resorts on the various islands. The Montage was truly an amazing experience and one where we will certainly go back. First, the rooms are very spacious and clean with all the amenities since many/most are residences so that lends itself to larger living spaces generally. Rooms are very up to date and we had a huge lanai with grilling appliances, couches and chaises with a 180 degree view of the ocean. The resort felt empty even though they said that they were close to capacity so we never had any issues with getting great chairs by the various pools, the waiters/waitresses generally remembered what we had eaten the night before and had recommendations accordingly. Scott at the front desk was very helpful with all of our asks and needs - felt like a personal concierge. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't been before ..we'll definitely be back!
