This is part of a continuing series of my impressions and experiences staying budget car rentals at various hotels and resorts while traveling to attend concerts worldwide. This stay was during my recent trip to Hawaii (Oahu and Maui) in July/August 2013.  This review is for the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort Spa in Lahaina, Maui in Hawaii.
I have stayed in Maui many times, and this is my second stay at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, where I stayed one night last year (I did a series of seven Hawaii resort stays over seven nights in 2012).
Currently and well into the future, there is a huge construction project going on in the open space between the Hyatt Regency and Marriott s Maui Ocean Club at the north part of the property.  Under construction is the Hyatt Residence Club Ka anapali Beach.  It is the size and scope of another full, single building resort, intended to be a timeshare as I understand it.
You can t miss this project, as it is quite obvious walking or driving up to the front of the resort.  There is a chain link fence running all along the front of this project, with vinyl installed on top of the fencing with a faux plant design over it.  But there is no mistaking the project, as there is a giant crane at work nearly all the time during the day, which can literally be seen from miles away on other parts of the island.  There is also the requisite construction noise as well, though that is limited to the rooms facing the construction with both the Hyatt (North Tower/Napili Tower Rooms) and the Marriott (a friend of mine happened budget car rentals to be staying at the Marriott at the same time and sent me a noisy video of her view from her room at that adjacent property).
I would like to underscore that the Napili Tower rooms facing the construction are overlooking a full construction zone with the giant crane, bulldozers, dump trucks, graders, and a lot of noise (beep, beep, beep, and scraping/pounding), starting at about 7:00 am.  I would NOT recommend a stay in these rooms really for any price.  Just my opinion.  But apart from seeing all this driving up or walking up to the property, you are pretty isolated from it in and around the rest of the property.
As was true with my past experience, the staff at the Hyatt were top notch friendly and professional.  Check-in was smooth and easy, and though I was originally slotted to be in a room in the North Tower/Napili (facing the construction), they moved me to the South Tower at the opposite end of the property without having to ask.
I did take note of different construction-related activity at the front end of my stay, and relayed this feedback to one of my contacts in their PR department, and every issue I pointed out with them was immediately rectified and never encountered again during my stay, so they are very responsive to feedback and super appreciative for pointing budget car rentals things out that might improve the stay of their guests, so big kudos for that couldn t ask for more on that front.
The resort budget car rentals features an open center area with the rooms circling around, going up many floors, so the hallways are all open and on the interior side of the building going up, and therefore all room windows point out (with view varying depending on which side of the building you are staying in).  In my photos below is a site map/property budget car rentals map to give a better idea of the layout, as well as the accompanying photos.
Some of the in-room amenities included a desk, two mini fridges (in my prior stay they would stock one with a pay per use feature, which is now gone), and a digital safe deep enough to accommodate a large laptop (17 screen) as well as many cameras and camera lenses I brought on my trip, which is amazing.  It is the largest in-room digital safe I ve ever found in all of my travels.
In addition to parrots that they bring out throughout the day, there is also a family of resident penguins, which were really neat to watch.  They have little huts to sleep in, and also go swimming in their pond.  Further down the property, closer to the beach, are some beautiful swans.
One of the resorts in Ka anapali budget car rentals that I ve stayed out multiple times is the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa. One big difference between the two properties is the beach area. The Sheraton is famous for Black Rock and snorkeling, and has a huge beach area.  Conversely, the Hyatt has a very short the beach area, with not too much beach/sand budget car rentals between the sidewalk running across the back and the waves of the ocean hitting the beach.  One benefit is that it is usually sparsely populated or empty, budget car rentals so you can enjoy some solitude.  I did spot several big sea turtles while hanging out on the beach.  The pool area and amenities at Hyatt, in my opinion, are superior to the same at The Sheraton (and the Westin, for that matter).
I had an opportunity to eat at their high end Japengo budget car rentals one of the nights, which was fantastic and highly recommended.  One of the big benefits of visiting Maui are all of the fabulous eating options throughout the island, so one might not consider trying one of the resort-based restaurants, budget car rentals but this one was really good.  The service and food was excellent, and they have a great menu with a lot of options.  There is also a nice view closer to the beach, and timed right you can enjoy one of the amazing Maui sunsets.
I did not attend the Drums of the Pacific Luau , though I kind of feel like I did, as my first room was overlooking the event each night, which appeared to be sold out every night with maybe hundreds of people, which is quite impressive.  I ve never been much of a luau person, so my opinion is sort of made up without seeing one, but if you have one of those adjacent rooms, budget car rentals there is no escaping the sound, up until about 8:40 PM each night.  Some might see it as a tremendous bonus, as you can sit and enjoy for free from your balcony.
I did have an opportunity to experience their on-site Tour of the Stars , which was awesome.  This is something that takes place on the rooftop of the one of the towers.  You can reserve one of three times each night (8:00, 9:00, and a special Romance Tour of the Stars at 10:00).  Their Director of Astronomy, Edward J Mahoney, M.S., is as fun as he is knowledgeable.  Our small group made our way out to the platform on the roof, and even without the telescopes it is a magnificent opportunity to see the beautiful Maui skies unobstructed.  He has three telescopes set up and literally gives you a tour of the sky, bringing up a number of objects in the sky.  It s definitely worth checking out if you can fit it into your schedule.
The last three nights I stayed in one of the ocean front Atrium Tower Rooms (Room #1518), which has one of the best views I ve seen on all of the Hawaiian islands.  The room itself was quite similar to the room in the Lahaina Tower room, apart from the view.  I took many photos, and will let them speak for themselves.  But there is definitely a view premium budget car rentals that I feel warrants the price difference of the rooms, if you can budget it.
All in all I had a very nice stay. For me, staying at resorts on Maui, I place a higher budget car rentals priority on the beach area, as opposed to pool area.  But if you are more pool/poolside-oriented and/or you have a family, I would recommend the Hyatt.  It is also a convenient walk to Whaler s Village, which is nice (and I believe that they have shuttle accommodations as well).

No doubt a beautiful resort. We stayed here for a week on the end of a 4 week holiday on the mainland. We weren t too happy with the Hyatt Regency and have to warn people of a few things .firstly this is an isolated resort with the closest non-resort shops and restaurants in Lahaina 12 minutes away in a cab. Not a problem until we realised that the food is grossly over priced at the resort. We tried to stay in the resort for the first 3 days but for 2 adults and a 5 year old it was costing us $370 a day without budget car rentals alcohol. Then there s the extra $15 charge per person to use the pool facilities after paying 5 Star rates to be there. We thought. Did we have a choice not to pay the $15 per person by saying at check out that we never used the hotel facilities? (no). Then there was New Hyatt resort under MAJOR construction directly below our room. We weren t informed about this until check in. There was no mention of this on their website and our travel agent had no idea. We complained about the noise and early start to construction but it fell on deaf ears. We realise that they have to build sometime, but for god sake offer us a free meal or something! Anywhere else is America this would never happen, they would compensate you in someway. We found this to be quite arrogant.
