We loved the Wailea resort. Rooms are nothing special, but the grounds are beautiful. We went early February and never had any issues getting a great seats at the pool and one of the nicest beaches is only a short walk. I found it to be one of the best point redemptions per dollar as well, especially if you get the 5th night free.
