The Grand Wailea provides this service to guests so they can continue to enjoy the resort amenities throughout the day even after checkout. Many Maui flights do not leave the island until after dinner, but checkout is at noon. With this amenity guests can continue to enjoy the pools, waterslides, beach, and lazy river well into the evening hours. An hour before heading to the airport guests visit the front desk and request a key to a hospitality room where they can shower, change, and enjoy one last island view before departing.
