The Grand Wailea is one of the most luxurious resorts on Maui, and its pools feature relaxation and enjoyment for the entire family. Adults who are 18 and older can indulge themselves in the 4,850-square-foot Hibiscus Pool, which was named for its giant mosaic tile hibiscus on the bottom of it. This pool also offers two Jacuzzis. Kids and families can use the Wailea Canyon Activity Pool, which is comprised of nine free-form pools over six levels; they start at 40 feet and drop to sea level. A river that features many different water speeds, such as whitewater rapids and lazy currents, connects the different pools. The area includes four tile slides, a whitewater rapids slide, four jungle pools, a Tarzan pool with a rope swing, a sand beach, six waterfalls, caves, three Jacuzzis, and a swim-up bar. If that's not enough, the pool also has an infant pool and the world's only water elevator.
