Honua Kai Konea Resort by KBM"This was our second stay here, the property was perfect in every way (again). It suited our family perfect, from the beautiful ocean view, two spacious bedrooms, kitchen, washer dryer, bbq, cleanliness, so many swimming pools to choose from, pool slide, so close to restaurants, dukes is a staple to eat at, beach rentals, and beach access. Best experience ever."




Maui Kai
Maui Kai"It is hard to imagine a better place to stay or better staff. Maui is expensive and there is not (and maybe should not be) a way around that. However, this location is fantastic--especially for adults. The beach is a bit of a walk, but the water couldn't be closer and there is a grocery store and food options in walking distance."

Top Kaanapali Hotel Reviews
The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka'anapali
"Everything was good except the open air restaurants could use ceiling fans if they don't have air conditioning. Most other restaurants had those which help on hot days."
Hilton Vacation Club Ka'anapali Beach Maui
"There was a hurricane when we got there no facilityโs or amenities were open for 3 day along with no power for the 3days! They also got our room messed up, there was construction going on and we didnโt get the room we paid for with no compensation! Over all we made the best of it but wasnโt the best experience!"
Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa
"Our room was clean, the staff very friendly, the balcony was great to sit and enjoy the sun and view!"
AEI at Maui Kaanapali Villas Resort
"I had a great stay in Maui! The location of this place is fantastic! The beach is quiet and beautiful. The grounds are clean and well maintained. The one time I went to the pool it was warm, clean, fun. My room was also wonderful, with a very comfy bed, kitchen, nice bathroom and view of the ocean from the balcony. I would absolutely stay here again!"
The Whaler Resort Kaanapali Beach
"Clean room, friendly staff, great location and views!"
Aston Kaanapali Shores
"Overall, staff was very friendly! Shout out to the female concierge! She is hilarious and knows how to deliver a good time. The two outdoor pools are gorgeous especially at night with the beachfront view. If youโre on a budget, I highly recommend. It is definitely an older establishment and the cleanliness of the rooms are a little subpar, but the staff and amenities make up for it. Also, the rooms have their own washer, dryer, full kitchen, and iron. It made packing so much easier."
OUTRIGGER Honua Kai Resort & Spa
"Know before you go which tower your in, this will help your check in process. Itโs such a big beautiful property so knowing this helps a ton. Great property with a restaurant and shopping spot downstairs in both towers. Also be sure to check the stores nearby, lots of places within walking distance."
