Situated on the harbor in Kahului, the Maui Beach Hotel is a favorite with Hawai‘i residents and business travelers. (Just don't let the name fool you—there's no swimmable beach here.) Despite its age, the property is well maintained, clean, open and bright. (The...
This local hotel chain always has clean, tidy rooms and grounds, and this location is no exception. Though on the beach, it's actually on a commercial harbor, and the water is not recommended for swimming. The rooms have been nicely updated since our last review,...
Wow, where do we start? This is one of the biggest resorts on Maui, sitting among 40 acres of spacious and exotic grounds. The two outstanding pools are large with waterfalls, and one has a fast 150-foot waterslide (users must be at least 4 feet tall), a swinging...
This is a very well-run condo property with particularly competent staff. Their beach is a winner. The pools are pleasant with a designated quiet pool. If you don’t love to cook but love to eat, some weekend nights they have a grill master who will season (from the...
This resort prides itself on two things: their pools and the beach. And their boasts ring true. Their part of Ka‘anapali Beach is outstanding. This is the kind of beach scene you’ll always remember. The pools consist of an outrageous 87,000-square-foot water...
This condo property consists of two towers on delicious Ka‘anapali Beach. The resort is well-run and friendly, and the services are admirable. Staff is excellent; many of them have been here for a long time. The pool courtyard looks very dreamy with large koi ponds...
This is sort of the forgotten condo resort of Ka‘anapali. It’s far from the beach and is very quiet (except for some traffic noise from the nearby highway), and you may not see many people. The 2/2s are huge—1,434–2,032 sq. ft. with split-level layouts on...
This is one of the early Ka‘anapali resorts, and it shows. It shows in the look of the buildings, but it also shows in the warm hearts of the employees. This isn’t the place to go for the jaw-dropping opulence of some of the other Ka‘anapali resorts. You go here...
This was the first resort built in Ka‘anapali on a property that does not feel particularly Hawaiian but more modern and a tad spartan. It lacks the same splash offered by other mega-resorts. (Well, except for the cliff diver who dives into the ocean every night at...
The condominium is a mix of good and bad. Their location is long walk from the beach, but, if you like, they’ll ferry you to and from there up to 5:30 p.m. Also, the layout is such that you can’t drive to most units. They’ll take your bags to your room on the first...
