I thought that I would at least look into staying at a condo for our first trip to Maui. The problem I was having with condo sites was that they were normally run by resorts and it was not clear what unit you would get once you were there and what the amenities of that unit would be. I hate... more

The Grand Champions condominium complex is comprised of multiple buildings surrounded by a golf course. Each unit is individually owned, maintained, and decorated. Unit 50 is located in one of the interior buildings oriented to the pool and gardens rather than out to the links. Buildings heights are staggered – two and three stories. The Shops at Wailea Mall are... more

We stayed at this condo complex over Christmas. We had unit number 34. It was a 2 bedroom with a (very) partial ocean view. The Good: The service from Destination Resorts (the booking agency) was very good. The condo was very big, we are 2 adults and 2 teens and we had plenty of room. The bedrooms are roomy, there... more

My 2005 review on Grand Champions goes into more detail and what I said in that favorable review is all still true of our 2007 stay. We had no problems with construction nearby. However, I do see the validity of other people's general comments, in the sense that the Destination Resorts rental pool condos can be treated as neglected cash... more

recently my husband and I stayed in two of the most beautifully appointed condos that I have ever stayed in. The unit numbers are 171 and 70. We were expecting my parents as well and therefore spent some time in the smaller unit before heading off to the larger one. both condos are decorated in an island, relaxing theme. it's... more

Of the five lodgings we stayed over our 2.5 week Hawaiian vacation, this one was the least memorable. Pros: Clean, tastefully decorated, and well stocked. Quiet neighbors. Air conditioned! which turned out to be a lifesaver as there is little or no breeze to cool down the condo (in contrast to oceanfront lodgings). Reserved parking. Best of all, affordable! Cons:... more

We stayed in a 2BR/2BA poolside unit last summer and had a good experience. It was an affordable, basic way to stay in Wailea, walking distance to the Shops, Grand Wailea, etc. Our 4th night was free from Destination. We jogged down to the hotel/beach path every day. Since we enjoy exploring lots of different beaches, this property made sense... more

Because it is a timeshare rental, it seems the Grand Champions can be a hit or miss. Some are better kept than others. As for ours, it was okay. A good value for the space (we got a 2 bed/bath w/living room and kitchen for less than most one room hotel rooms in the area) but a bit outdated and... more
