OUTRIGGER Kaanapali Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed in one of the oceanfront rooms. We loved being so close to the ocean and watching the sunset from our balcony! We also really enjoyed the beach walk right outside the hotel. We would happily stay again!"

Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone one was extremely helpful and friendly…even the penguins!"

Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 location. Had the best view of the beach with the closest access compared to other resorts. Very close to the beach wall that takes you to other resorts for restaurant access. We stayed in the partial beach front room and it was breathtaking. Bed was comfy, shower was hot, room was cleaned every other day. Only downside was our toilet was a bit finicky. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The restaurant inside was wonderful from the staff to the food. The resort credits were easy to spend on food and non-alcoholic drinks. They automatically apply. Some reviews said they were charged an arm and a leg at checkout and that was not the case for us. The detailed receipt was spot on. The complimentary trolly was the cherry on top. It was a 5 min ride to whalers village. They give you a schedule for pick up and drop off when you check in. The grounds were very well kept and clean. Pool chairs had lots of options and were never crowded. Would have liked an extra pool towel card, but not a big deal at all. I could not recommend this place more, we will be back!"

The Whaler Resort Kaanapali Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds of this property is meticulously landscaped and maintained providing an oasis atmosphere. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and well maintained. The beach, several restaurants and Whalers Village are all a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again."
