This was our second spring break joining the Fairmont family at Kea Lani. The moment you walk onto the property the pleasantness of the staff and the surroundings puts you at ease immediately. Our family of five fits perfectly in the suite - one room and one living room with a pull-out couch. There is a large balcony to relax on to enjoy the peaceful silence, a nice breeze, and a great view. The bathroom also provides so much space. You can snorkel right off one of the best beaches in Maui, take an outrigger trip for an early morning snorkel, or take a long walk around the pathway along the coast, and then come back to the small cafe for the best orange juice in Maui. Great shopping at the Shops of Wailea is near by and then head back for dinner at their new sushi bar overlooking the sunset and then the stars. I could go on and on and we will be back next year.
