KAANAPALI RESORTS
|
Honeymooners and families are drawn to beachfront resorts and condominiums fronting the azure Pacific in Kaanapali, Maui's first developed resort area. A promenade runs the length of the beach connecting all the hotels and the very popular Whaler's Village shopping and dining complex.
There's more fun to be had in the nearby town of Lahina, once a whaling center and the capital of Hawaii! Charming woor housexs line tree lined streets leading to shopping, art galleries, and some of Maui's more notable eateries. There's even a gourmet luau! |

Hyatt Regency Maui Resort 4* Favorite
The original "concept pool" appeared right here at the Hyatt Regency. Beautifully landscaped, it remains one of this popular property's main draws. The hotel is notable for their high service levels. A honeymoon couple and family favorite!

The Beach Tower just received a renovation here. Home to Kaanapali's largest pool. Close to popular Whaler's Village for shopping and dining.
Spectacular gardens! CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Mahalo for reaching out to receive more information regarding The Westin Maui Resort & Spa’s current transformation project.

Kaanapali Beach Hotel Great Value for Families
The Kaanapali Beach Hotel is an affordable choice for family travel. What's more, the kids will learn a bit here as the hotel emphasizes Hawaiian culture. Lovely landscaping set on a spectacular stretch of kaanapali beach. High number of return guests.

Sheraton Maui Resort 4* Favorite
All rooms received a complete renovation in 2018. Dramatic setting at Maui's famed Black Rock, featuring nightly torch lighting and cliff diver.
Very popular with honeymoon couples. One of my top recommendations. |

Honua Kai Resort 4* CondominiumsHonua Kai is a newly built two tower condominium complex on the northern end of Kanapali Beach. Accommodations range from spacious 600 square foot studios to 3 bedroom oceanfront palaces. Currently villas are under construction in front of the towers, so I definitely recommend staying on the ocean side of the towers.
The grounds and swimming facilities here are simply gorgeous. You'll even find an outpost of the legendary Duke's Restaurant on site facing the Pacific. Accommodations, furnishings, and decor from the rental pool I use are standardized throughout Honua Kai. That means if a piece of furniture is worn out, it is replaced. These units are professionally decorated, so you don't have to endure an owner's bad taste during your visit. Prospective honeymooners, (I'm talking to you my dear brides), are sometimes put off by the sight of a kitchen in the unit. Do note however that sightseeing activities can start very early on Maui, often before restaurants are open. Active travelers will appreciate having the facilities to prepare a breakfast and a pot of coffee before setting off for the day. Grocery delivery services are available in Kaanapali. Just ask me. |
