Here's the deal with the hotel: It's remote. It's quiet. It has beautiful views. The rooms are nice and clean. HOWEVER, you are in the tropics, and there are bugs. Not just ants! Mini-cockroaches and larger cockroaches. If you can deal with this, then you will enjoy yourself. I really liked the place, but could not deal with the bugs. They were mainly in the bathroom and near the frig. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well.

On the positive side: The food at the hotel is great. The lounge area was so much fun. The views are breathtaking. The service was friendly.

We stayed at the Hotel Hana for three nights during our honeymoon. I don't quite understand the other reviews, except to say that there are amazing views and the property is well-manicured. This place is like a fancy summer camp, but not that fancy. The rooms are infested with bugs. They actually give you a can of Raid in the closet. The rooms are sparse and are not air conditioned (our room was hot the first night). Our room had fixtures encrusted with dirt, damaged bathroom tiles, loud pipes, peeling paint on the lanai, and was very dark even with all of the lights on. The wood shutters had a faint mildew smell. The staff is not overly friendly or helpful, for the most part. They did not seem responsive to our concerns. We chose this hotel because it was supposed to be quiet and peaceful, but many of the rooms are right next to the Hana community center, which was filled with screaming children and loud music. It is worth spending at least a night in Hana because the near-by sights are great, but I would recommend checking out another inn or resort. The Hotel Hana Maui is overpriced and over-hyped.

We were looking for a couple of days of peaceful solitude and found it at the Hotel Hana. No TV and no radio in rooms. One rarely encounters other guests. Super helpful and friendly staff. Very good restaurant. Perfect location. Clean and spacious rooms. Well worth the long winding drive!

We stayed for 2 nights at the Hana Hotel after staying 4 nights in the more "tourist-heavy" Kaanapali. I wish we stayed longer in Hana. There is a unique feeling of being in a secret and remote area of the world when you're at this hotel. During the day we only saw a few couples (sometimes by the pool, walking the expansive grounds, at the workout facility, or the spa). During dinner there were basically 2 seatings (6-6:30 and 8-8:30) and there are about 14 couples during the heaviest times.

Spa: Expensive, but 1st class. Highly recommend the Lomi-lomi massage. 60 min was $140. Steam room, in-door and out-door showers, plunge pool and whirlpool were well maintained.

Dinner: Overall, a good experience. Most, if not all the ingredients are grown on the island and were likely hand-picked. This attention to detail does increase the cost of dinners. The $55 for a 3 course mean (appetizer, entree, and dessert) are not a bad deal for what you get.

Room: We stayed in the sea ranch cottage with hot tub with an ocean view. The feather-toped mattress was very comfortable and loved sleeping with the windows open and the ceiling fan on. Room has a fridge and was stocked with water and fruit that was including with the room price. The size of the room and the deck was large.

Outings: Recommend driving to the 7 sacred pools at haleakala state park. If your up to it, there is a 4 mile hike (round trip) through a bamboo forest to a 400 foot waterfall. Bring water and a snack in a backpack.

Certainly a 4.5 star hotel. Can't wait to be able to return.
