Our trip to Maui at the end of March was outstanding. The Kaanapali Ali was the best choice for our…read morevisit. Our condo unit was perfect - spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and outfitted with upscale equipment and supplies. Each and every staff member (almost) we passed or sought for info was courteous, friendly, and helpful (the two concierges at the pool, not so much). We arrived the day the second Kona low passed, yet somehow, the property looked unscathed. Management was exceptionally communicative about minor issues as they arose - everything was handled quickly. We look forward to returning and plan to stay in the same unit - none could be better!

Let me set the stage. It's not a five star hotel resort. We rented it as an AirBnB managed by a…read morefront desk. No daily cleaning. Dump your own trash, etc. So for this type of rental, it's top notch. Here's why: The location is perfect. 5 min walk to Whaler's Village. Only 20 min walk all the way to Black Rock, the furthest beach away in the cove. Quick drive out to Highway 30. Easy, and I mean easy access to Lahaina (south) and Honolua or Kampala Bays (north). Choose if you want to shop grocery at Times or Safeway, same distance. Really perfect location. Our apartment was incredible. It didn't face the ocean but that's ok. They have some that do, or the pool. It was huge. Nicely decorated and clean. Lots of space. Two bedrooms and sofa bed. Foosball table. Beach stuff to borrow and even a wagon to haul stuff. Parking garage right there. Always found an open space. Bell hops were helpful and friendly. They got nice gym, clay tennis courts, swimming pool, hot tub, and BBQ grills. All well kept. I could go on but why? It was great condo to stay.

We booked our stay at The Whaler through Costco. The units they offer are managed by Aston. We…read morebooked a Premium Ocean View Studio and receive unit 915 in Tower 1. The unit was pretty well appointed but the owners must be quite tall. The toilet is really high and my feet dangled several inches off the floor while using it. The jetted tub was hard to get into and the bed was rather high too. If you are petite like me and get this unit, you will have to contact Aston to get a change, the front desk can't help you. Maybe we should have done that, but we arrived after Aston was closed for they day and once unpacked we didn't want to move the next day. Our unit did not have many electrical outlets and no USB ports. Luckily we brought along an extension cord and USB power adapters. The unit was equipped with standard plates, glasses, utensils, blender, toaster, coffee maker, stove, microwave, refrigerator with ice dispenser, and dishwasher. Kleenex, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher soap, one package of laundry soap and plenty of bathroom towels. The grounds are well maintained, gardeners were trimming and sweeping most of the day. The lobby has hot coffee urns in the morning and delicious pineapple iced tea in the afternoons. The location is fantastic, steps away from the beach, next door to Whalers Village for shopping, right along the beach walk. We didn't use the pool but sat by it once chairs became available in the late afternoon (there were lots of chairs but even more chair hogs.) My husband did use the hot tub and reported it was quite hot. The pool area has coffee in the mornings and iced tea in the afternoons. I used the fitness center a couple of times. There were dumbbells of many weights and other great strength training equipment. There were also treadmills, ellipticals, and exercise bicycles. Water and towels were provided. Overall, we feel we made a great choice in booking The Whaler.

It was beautifully decorated. It had a spare room which was a nice surprise too!! There was a large wrap around lanai with plenty of space for entertaining!

We will definitely rebook this unit in the future! Many thanks always to MKVR for taking such good care of us every time! We will be back. ...e hoi mākou. Wendy & Jac San Diego, CA

We stayed at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club again a couple of weeks ago, this time in the Lahaina…read moreTower--one of the newer, more recently built/renovated towers. I was hoping to stay in the Napili Tower, mainly because I liked the pool area better--longer, more spread out, and largely oceanfront. That said, the Lahaina Tower ended up having its own perks. The biggest one is that it's right next to the self-parking structure that's used for the whole resort, which makes coming and going incredibly easy. If you're staying in the Napili tower, self-parking is all the way on the other side and I would recommend using valet instead to save you the walk. Our room was spacious and comfortable, technically "oceanfront," though it felt more like oceanview. Still, no complaints--the view was lovely, and the room itself had a convenient kitchenette with a fridge, sink, and all the basics (plates, utensils, etc.), which made snack time quick and easy. The Lahaina Tower also has its own smaller pool area, plus a few fun extras like ping pong and foosball. It's also right by Longhi's, if you're looking for an easy meal. If you want more action, the main pool area--with the large, winding pool and additional dining options--is just a short walk away. The weather during our stay wasn't the best--it was actually pretty chilly by Maui standards following the heels of two major storms--but we still had a great time. Between the comfortable room, convenient location, and easy access to everything on property, it made for a relaxed and low-effort getaway. While the resort may not be the newest, we really like the main pool area. I'll definitely opt for the Lahaina/Napili towers again next time. This is a great resort, especially for families looking for a laid-back Maui stay with nice views and plenty to do.

Maui Ocean Club - Beautiful Resort with a Few Pricey Spots…read more Stayed at the Maui Ocean Club and overall had a great experience. The property has everything you could possibly need -- pools, beach access, restaurants, shops, BBQ grills, valet parking and activities all within walking distance. It's a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the island without ever having to leave the resort. That said, some common items are definitely overpriced, and you can find better deals just a short walk or drive away. Still, the $50 all-you-can-drink option (coffee, tea, juice, and soda) was absolutely worth it -- super convenient and a great value for resort guests who want unlimited refills throughout the day good for the entire stay. Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, and an unbeatable location right on Kaanapali Beach. Just be prepared to spend a little more for the convenience.

But it does have a lot of other things going for it. Our favorite is the location to the boardwalk and the super easy access to the most beautiful beach. Perfect for morning walks. Snorkeling is incredible there. Also turtles, sometimes dolphins, monk seals and tons of whales during whale season. You have to pay $90 for two beach chairs and an umbrella. $36 for just an umbrella. Parking is $35 a night. It all adds up quickly. If you want a lounge chair at the pool, you have to get up by 5 AM to get the one you want. They have activities all day and live music most nights- really enjoyable to sit by the fit pit, watch the sunset and live. The rooms are hit and miss. Sometimes we get an ocean view where you can see a sliver of water. Another time we were next to their laundry units, which were loud. Other times we were ocean front and it was incredible to watch the whales. The little kitchenette is perfect. They are well stocked. And I love that you can do laundry. They clean the rooms every two days but you can ask for supplies if you need anything.

The property is run down. Like they are letting it deteriorate…read more The staff is is the rudes. I have treated poorly last year and thought it was a fluke. My sister called me crying today because the treated like a criminal. She received a text at 1:30 while on the beach telling her that she had to get out of her villa. She ran to the front Bobby and was told that she had 20 minutes to get her stuff out of the villa and was escorted to her to her Villa by security. They made her move rooms and then charged her 2600 for two nights. Of course she is disputing it because they're crazy. Erwin the manager of kaanapali Ocean resorts was rude also. He told her he would be back and left my sister sitting in the lobby. Then somebody named ryland came over and she was also more rude than the next person and actually turned her back and walked away. If you have a choice DO NOT stay at the Westin kaanapali Ocean Resort. There's plenty of other nice resorts where you'll be treated with respect and not a criminal. This is the kind of stuff you can't make up. Absolutely a true story. Worst vacation experience ever!

It was a studio room, still has wonderful ocean view BUT you cannot hear the ocean because the fans from the restaurants down below (Whalers Village) are on & are LOUD. This time, I did my research & called in advance requesting to have a view facing the north (either side - tower 1 or 2). I was told they cannot guarantee a specific room. Which I understand, it was just a request to have a different view. They gave us room 1164 (Studio room in tower 2). The views from the balcony is beautiful. You CAN hear the ocean from your balcony. There is a small table to eat meals in your balcony & a lounger chair. We did not pick a Premium studio so that is why the furniture, kitchen and bathroom is dated. But we were only there to eat and sleep. The bed was too low but was comfy and soft. There is a small sized tv facing the bed. Hawaiian tropical decor all around. The bathroom was ok. The kitchen is fully stocked. Dishwasher and stove works. There is a shared washing machine & dryer in each floor by the elevators. They provide just enough dishwasher pods, soap, and laundry detergent. Again this hotel is a nice gem. Steps away from the Whalers Village: Restaurants & ABC store is walking distance. Hotel grounds are immaculate. Every morning, you can see the workers cleaning or pruning the trees/flowers. You get what you pay for, if you want updated/newer furniture, pick the Premium.

A downside I had with the property was not the property itself, but the people staying there. Most of the people staying there were elderly and white, and nearly everyone working were Filipino. I'm Filipino. I got into an elevator and a white lady looked me up and down and asked if I was working. When I was at the pool, as the only POC, I felt like eyes were on me in a judgmental way. Maybe it's nothing and it's just in my head and everyone at the pool just had a RBF. Another downside is that the lobby didn't have coffee available all day. Since I'm under 50, next time I'll stay in Kihei.

Review for Branches - free music under the Banyan Tree onsite at Royal Lahaina…read more I love this venue! Free, great local musicians, comfy seats, instagram worthy when lit up at night, cheese boards and cocktails available from a cute little blue truck (Barbara is the best server! 10/10, she knows how to make someone's day by creating a fab cocktail with excellent customer service). Sometimes there is a little craft market beforehand too. Dance under the stars to the music and enjoy a warm evening :)

Fantastic resort. We had such a great experience. It was a short visit but we would love to stay…read morehere again. Staff is so friendly and attentive! Our room was cozy and comfortable. Even with our south facing tower room we had peekaboo views of the ocean, it was great sitting on our balcony. The room had a small fridge, a keurig a blow dryer and a safe. If you're a light packer, they have hand soap, lotion and shampoo/conditioner in large bottles. I typically pack my own but didn't this trip and it wasn't terrible using what was there. The restaurant/bar on site are fantastic. Sometimes there is a line but they usually move quickly. They have lots of food options and we ate there a few times because of the horrible storm. Power flickered a few times but the generator works and seems like even if power is lost you still have a place to eat and the elevators remain working. There is also a small coffee shop with pastries available. We went here when the restaurant had a long line and found they actually have a little breakfast trays for purchase. We tried the bacon and eggs and with a pastry on the side it was perfect. They host a luau, along with other entertainment on site including a spa! It's a great location if you don't have a rented vehicle. There is an outdoor band with a tiny bar trailer and a pool bar. There is a trolley service that travels to the nearby mall. With vehicles, you do have to pay for parking $40/day and $45/day for valet. We chose valet for convenience but the parking lot is not far, just a short walk. It was our first trip to Maui and a bummer with the storm and all the outdoor excursions cancelled but the fact that I can still give this resort 5 stars says a lot.

We stayed in the middle tower with a glorious view that made the stay so magical! Shower pressure was amazing, housekeeping was efficient and thorough, and the room and balcony were plenty of room for the three of us. There's a beautiful mini waterfall as you enter the lobby, complete with flamingos wading and colorful birds on display in the daytime. Tip: at 9 am you can come down and have your kiddos feed the koi! There are water refilling stations all over the property, including one on every floor next to the ice machines. There were only two elevator cars in our tower, but I never waited long for one which was great. At check in you are given towel cards which you trade for towels when using the pool: return the towels, and you get the cards back, then come back and do the same next time. You can also trade towels for fresh ones any time. A couple of restaurants onsite / adjacent to the hotel which were equally good. It's also a hop, skip, and a jump to Whalers Village, so very convenient location. Valet parking was a bit steep, but only $5 more than self park so we opted for it. As busy as I imagine they get, I never had to wait more than 5 min to get my car. And the attendants were probably one of the nicest and friendliest I've met. We really enjoyed our stay here and wlll be back soon for sure!

They have almost nightly Luau activity till later than we sometimes stay up after getting up at sunset and a Long Beach day. It's fine to see and hear once but this is ridiculous. They also host huge corporate events that literally take over the whole place and make late noise. Rooms are tiny that we saw others in and staff is clueless. They let people have room parties until well into the morning keeping the whole floor loud even after asking their feckless security to handle it. Like 2am with 20 plus people in a little room and slider door open. Staff just began to hang up when called and it took going to the front desk and yelling a lot to affect the closure of one of these room parties. Good luck with the sea of crap around the pools too! We have stayed at the other Westin North before and it wasn't much better so we won't be staying at a Westin anytime In the future.
