User reviews
"The beach in front of the Andaz Maui is a lovely spot, frequented by both hotel guests and locals. You can enjoy stunning views of the West Maui mountains and Lanai from the beach, and the sunsets are simply breathtaking every night. Plus, the snorkeling right off the beach is great, with plenty of marine life to be seen."

"The morning brought calm, crystal-clear waters, perfect for snorkeling. There were plenty of fish and turtles to be seen. It was a short walk from the parking lot and the shower facilities. I arrived at 8am on a weekday and there was no one around. By noon, there were a lot of swimmers, but it was still a pleasant atmosphere. This is one of my favorite spots on the west side."
