A true beach vacation is a relaxing getaway to a sandy beach perfect for lounging in the sun, sipping refreshing cocktails, and forgetting about all your worries.  Beach vacations have become one of the most important milestones in some families’ annual plans.  Selecting a hotel-resort can make or break a beach vacation as there are so many elements that contribute to a trip’s success.  Many families choose to rent a vacation rental, usually a beach cottage, that is waterfront and includes all of the amenities travelers would expect from home.  However, the majority typically choose to stay at a hotel or resort.  This latter option provides a seamless experience that includes beach time, nightlife, and overnight accommodation.

The Grand Wailea is located in upcountry Maui and is one of Hawaii’s most renown beach vacation resorts.  Featuring stunning ocean views and surrounded by mesmerizing gardens and lush tropical greenery, the resort not only encompasses a beautiful white sand beach but also includes a renowned arty collection, 780 rooms and suites, a full-service spa, championship golf, a variety of dining venues, eleven tennis courts, and even a children’s camp.  A number of organized on-site activities, including water sports, cultural explorations, and lifestyle classes, can add to an already fabulous time at the beach.
