Top Kaanapali Beach Hotel Reviews
Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa
"wonderful"
The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka'anapali
"The property is beautiful and the staff is super helpful. The beach was beautiful but very strong undertow. The rooms were nice and clean. On the other hand, there is no nightlife (bars, music etc.) past 10:45pm. The food is incredible but very very expensive. Overall we loved the hotel, but we need to hit the lottery to ever come back."
OUTRIGGER Kaanapali Beach Resort
"Location was perfect, lots of beautiful beaches around this area. Huge perk is location right on the beach, walkable beach to Whaler’s Village and Maui Brewing onsite. Luxury pricing but hotel is dated. It was clean and comfortable. Pool was looking pretty old but we still swam in it. The grounds were nice, all staff were helpful and very kind. Parking is $26 a day in garage on top of resort fee of $45 which I thought was steep, but it was secure and convenient. The luxury is the location, though rooms are dated, they were clean and comfortable with decent shampoo/conditioner etc… so I would possibly stay again. We enjoyed our time."
The Whaler Resort Kaanapali Beach
"Terrific property. Great location next to Whalers village with multiple shops and restaurants. Beach front and great rooms and nice beach front pool"
Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa
"Staff was excellent, getting close to needing a remodel Beach area was awesome"
Marriott's Maui Ocean Club - Lahaina & Napili Towers
"Everyone was friendly, efficient. View from room was excellent. Everything was very good."
Aston at The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach
"My wife and I are 100% satisfied with everything. The cleanliness, the friendliness and most of all the location. Specifically, the proximity (short walk) to Whalers Village and restaurants. And of course the beach, which is literally right there :) where we sat and watched some pretty amazing sunsets."
