Floods in Maui

Question

Does anyone know if the Ritz Carlton sustained damage from the floods that just happened?

Answer

Aloha,

As of now, there has been no official confirmation of significant damage to the Ritz-Carlton in Maui from the recent floods. However, the floods caused widespread damage in some parts of Maui, particularly in areas along the north shore and other low-lying coastal areas. The Ritz-Carlton, located in the Kapalua area on the west side of Maui, is generally situated in a more elevated and less flood-prone area, but like many resorts in Hawaii, it could have experienced localized water-related issues such as flooding in the grounds or other amenities.

It's important to keep in mind that flood damage can vary depending on the severity of the rain, the location of the property, and its infrastructure. The hotel could have experienced temporary closures or disruptions in certain areas while repairs or assessments are being made, but these impacts would likely be communicated directly to guests if you're planning to stay or are affected by the current conditions.

If you're planning to visit the Ritz-Carlton or any other property in the area soon, it's best to contact the hotel directly or check for updates on their website or through local news outlets. The hotel may also be providing information regarding guest accommodations or cancellations if there has been any significant damage. Additionally, you can check local weather sources or the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency for up-to-date reports on any ongoing flood conditions on the island.

Stay safe, and if you’re traveling soon, it's always a good idea to confirm the situation with the hotel directly to ensure your plans are not disrupted.
