I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Fairmont Kea Lani Mauiin the island’s Wailea area. As you’d expect from a Fairmont property, the facilities were all quite well done, the grounds beautiful, the staff intent upon accommodating guests. But one area where this hotel surpasses many of similar caliber I’ve visited is with its environmental initiatives. All the rooms have both trash and recycling receptacles - ideal for all the water bottles I was going through each day. Another cool feature I noticed: the air-conditioning in our suite would not run when the sliding glass doors to the balcony were ajar. The closet lights also shut off automatically when you close the door. And like many hotels, the bathrooms are outfitted with little signs suggesting that guests use their towels more than once.
