Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa offers a variety of green attributes as detailed below.

The sheets and towels were of high quality and 100% cotton. We were a bit disappointed to see vinyl shower curtain liners, but at least the shower curtain was fabric. And the wastebaskets weren't lined with plastic bags! There weren't any bulk amenities in the bathroom, only individual, non-refillable ones (though they looked like they were very nice). CFLs were in all of the lamps.
The housekeeping carts we saw had Green Seal approved cleaners, giving us confidence that the cleaning was fairly environmentally friendly. But there also weren't any fresh glasses for the rooms, so we used our own rather than their "sanitized in place" glasses. We found no evidence of a sheet/towel reuse program so we denied housekeeping or turn down during our stay (to keep them from changing our towels when we didn't want them changed).
The food was delicious, and we couldn't beat the views and ambiance of ocean-front dining. We felt as if we were in paradise with an courtyard open to the sky and filled with tropical plants and a variety of birds.

This website is for you and your fellow green travelers. You can make it more useful by sharing your travel experiences at the different environmentally friendly hotels or eco-lodges you stay in. The more comments and reviews we have on the hotels in the database, the more you and other environmentally conscious travelers have to go on for making decisions.
When you review a hotel, the information we are looking for is what your experience was; how you felt about what you saw and did in regards to the hotel. Did you notice any environmentally sensitive steps taken that aren't covered by either the attributes list or the hotel's website? For example, were the shower curtains fabric rather than plastic, the wastebasket unlined, or did the room smell fresh without having been perfumed? Does the housekeeping staff honor the towel/sheet program? Are Styrofoam products offered at any food establishments connected to the environmentally friendly hotel? We want the good and the bad so other green travelers can make informed decisions.
There are lots of little things that go into making a great experience, and lots of little things that go into making a great green experience. That's what we are looking for in the reviews we receive. All comments and submissions become the property of HealthyStays.com, LLC and may be published.
