Short Review

I went to the Fairmont Kea Lani and conducted a site inspection. Overall, here are my impressions.

I think the Fairmont represents a very good value for Wailea -- each of the accommodations are suites and the Ocean views are, in my opinion, on the whole better on the highest floors due to the gentle concave structure in which most of the accommodations are housed.

The corner Kilohana Signature suites are the nicest suites in the hotel, occupying the corner facing the ocean. The Villas are nice for extended stays with family. The decor of all suites and villas are being updated as they are a very corporate design which has very little sense of place. Not that the FS has a sense of place in the rooms; I think the Fairmont is worse.

I think the Fairmont is perfect for families as the pool is perfect for children. The Pool view suites on the ground floor are perfect for their proximity to the pool. The Resort is very laid back and is about a third less expensive than the FS which is right next door.

The Fairmont also operate a house car for shuttle service within Wailea.

Virtuoso amenities are: Daily buffet breakfast for 2; upgrade if available at check-in; and $100 worth of welcome amenities upon arrival.

I am sorry I have no photos as I completely forgot to take some!

All in all, a very good value alternative to the FS, especially if the Ocean View is of importance to you.
