Massage on the beach in Maui??

  We stayed here last October and the ocean front massages are right between the main pool area and the beach access area. The pool area is loud when it's crowded so that is something to consider. Also it can be hot (and sweaty) in the afternoon. If people noises would annoy you, then I would book inside.

  DH and I had ocean front massages at the Hyatt in Maui and loved it. Granted, we did it early (9am? maybe), so it was pretty quiet. All I remember hearing was the waves.

  I haven't done this but I can't imagine liking it.  There would be other people around and a lot of noise.  I just don't think that I could get comfortable and relaxed enough to really enjoy it.

  We had a couples massage at the Westin on Maui in October.  It was very hot in the tent between the pool and the ocean.  There was some noise from the people at the pool, but the heat bothered me much more than the noise.  When we go to French Polynesia next month I'll definitely opt for indoor massages this time.

  I'd skip it.

  We didn't stay at the Hyatt but saw a half dozen different resorts doing this and all of them had tents near pools, bars, noise, etc. Most also required you tromping around public areas to get to the massage area (vs. enterning through the spa and taking a private path to a secluded outdoor area).

  Just don't think 'tranquil' if you decide to do this.

  We've opted for the in-spa massage. Thanks...

  We had massage at the Ritz in Maui and they have outdoor cabanas. The cabana we got was near the whirlpool and waiting area. there was a couple out there that was super loud and it annoyed me for about half my massage. I'd  def do it inside next time. The cabanas were so far from the beach you couldnt hear any waves.

  At the Sheraton Black rock the outdoor massages were in a tent RIGHT NEXT to the pool. That I would never pay for. It was in public view and very very loud.
