Grand Champions 55, Beautifully Renovated Single Level, Ocean Views, Split AC vs Similar Hotels

Rooms are well-appointed and comfortable; however, some initial rooms could be noisy.

Mixed: Deluxe Ocean View Suite receives glowing feedback for views and balconies, but another stay reported an extremely small room and a problematic, uncomfortable rollaway that cramped the space.

Rooms described as dated with appliances not working; once excellent but in need of upgrades, so below top tier but still functional.

While the property is beautiful, noise from kids and chaos off the lobby indicates some cleanliness issues with managing common areas.

Dusty bedding reported on the rollaway bed and worn appearance of that extra bed lowered cleanliness perception, otherwise no widespread cleanliness complaints.

Multiple reports of filthy rooms (bugs, cockroaches, hair left in bathrooms) and ants in a restaurant indicate below‑average cleanliness.

Excellent beachfront location with access to beautiful snorkeling experiences and amenities nearby.

Repeatedly praised: excellent location (Wailea area), quick walk to shops and great grounds — consistently strong location sentiment.

Repeatedly praised — Wailea Beach location is a clear strength.

Staff was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and dedicated to ensuring a positive experience for guests.

Mixed: multiple reviews praise attentive, friendly and exemplary staff, but one detailed account describes rude, unprofessional and confrontational front desk interactions during check-in that significantly affected that guest.

Mixed but often very strong: one rave 10‑star account praising front desk and management contrasted with reports of rude pool/beach staff and missed birthday acknowledgements; overall leans positive based on standout front‑office experiences.

On-site restaurants are high quality with excellent service.

Standard quality for this hotel tier

Food is frequently noted as good, though pricey; isolated hygiene issues reported at one restaurant (ants).

Good amenities, though the beach chair situation was problematic during peak times.

Positive mentions of pool, plentiful activities and a well-regarded spa support a strong amenities rating.

Pools, slides and beach access are major positives (slides are fun and pools are beautiful), though they can be very crowded and occasionally have equipment issues.

On-site dining is expensive, but alternative options nearby offer good value.

Described as expensive but worth it for the Deluxe Ocean View Suite and overall experience by returning guests; generally perceived as good value when expectations are met.

Many comments about extreme pricing, nickel‑and‑diming (parking, chair fees), and declining value compared with past visits.
