The hotel

Something of a state treasure, Ka'anapali Beach Hotel truly captures the spirit of Hawaii, teaching guests the true meaning of ‘Aloha’. Warm and extremely welcoming, you’ll feel like one of the family as soon as you arrive. Guest rooms are large and spacious, with original artwork and island-style wicker and rattan, as well as a furnished balcony from which to admire stunning ocean, courtyard or garden views. The courtyard is something of a sanctuary, shaded by Kukui Nut Trees, ever blooming Plumerias and 6-storey palm trees. Kids will love the whale-shaped swimming pool as well as the Aloha Passport for Kids program. Adults, meanwhile, can engage in Lauhala weaving, Ukulele lessons, Hula lessons or Hawaiian language lessons. Hawaiian entertainment is offered in the evening on the Tiki Courtyard stage, and can be seen from the Tiki Terrace Restaurant, home to Kaʻanapali Beach Hotel’s award-winning Sunday Brunch. Every Friday night not only are you treated to local song and dance in the Tiki Courtyard area, there’s a local Maui halau (hula school) too, highlighting the hula of past and present. Every Monday, embark on an exciting journey as the story and history of Kaʻanapali is told through enchanting hula and narration at the Legends of Kaʻanapali Luʻau.

This was our first vacation in eleven years and we picked the perfect place to go with all the activities there is to do and sights to see . It is an experience we will never forget. We have so many pictures to share and adventures to tell our family and friends.

There are many things we have enjoyed about our stay. But there are also some things that need attention at this hotel. Our kids loved "the aloha passport" which provided them with the opportunity to learn more about Hawaiian culture and earn great little prizes along the way. The girls that run the Activities Centre were delightful. The pool is far too small, but the surrounding grounds are incredibly beautiful. The trees provide beautiful shade from the heat of the day. The room we stayed in had a nice outlook but was much smaller then the other hotels we stayed in during our holiday in Hawaii. I don't think our bathroom has been updated since the hotel opened. Needs refreshing urgently. Having said that, our room was very clean. The Tiki Terrace restaurant also desperately needs a refresh. Are plastic table clothes part of Hawaiian culture? No service around the pool for guests. The Tiki bar staff seemed as tired as their uniforms and our bathroom. Read less

The location of this hotel is unbeatable right near Whaler’s Village. Many of the staff are great! The facility itself is old, with old linens, and decor. The room stunk like mildew. The pool was tiny.

Overall it was a wonderful hotel. The location, however, was farther from the areas I frequented, but I enjoyed staying there. The direct beach access was perfect, it was close by other restaurants and shopping and the nightly entertainment was soothing. Finally, the view of the ocean was incredible.
