Kaanapali Beach Club

The first time my wife and I visited Kaanapali Beach Resort was in 2008. This place has an incredible location, on the beach, near a market/shopping center, and just of the main drag. The rooms are huge, we had a 1 bedroom suite with a kitchenette. If you have 2 kids, a 1 bedroom would be fine. The room that have mountain view futhurtest from the beach and the best views. The balcony was at least 300 sq/ft, you could have had a party of 20 out there. We enjoyed the pool area very much as well, but why would you do that when the beach is 100' away? I would most definetely come back here again. By the way, the TIMESHARE GOONS did not bug us, I have no tolerance for the timeshare presentations. I am actually in the process of buying a timeshare here on Redweek.com. My only compliant was the required breakfast fee we were charged. The service here was non-existant, this is typical for most of timeshare in Hawaii. For the price, I will deal with awful service and adequate food.

For the price, there is not any place nicer on Kaanapali. The rooms have been redone, are very large and have lots of light. Compare this to the others, where the rooms are dark and like being in a cave. The 2 bedroom corner units have walls of windows on 2 sides.

While there one year, my dad drowned when snorkeling with my sister. He drowned and consequently died. My sister was running over coral to get dad to the shore for help. She got all cut up and was hysterical (understandably). I held my sister for a while and told her dad was dead. I rode in the ambulance with my dad and the resort doctor took good care of my sister.

The Resort personel were so kind and understanding. When I came back to my room the manager was there to let me in my room and extend his condolences. When I got in the room, there was a huge gift basket the Resort got for us on a table. They also gave us free food & drink for the rest of our stay. They went out of their way to make the rest of our stay bearable. They extended this offer to my friends also.

The next year I was remembered and they asked how my sister & I was doing. One of the reception desk ladies was very friendly to me. That year I learned how to snorkel and SCUBA dive from the Resort's trainer. I wanted to do this the year before but for obvious reasons I didn't. I am sure my dad was happy I didn't let his death stop me.

This Resort and personel are a class act! They comforted people they didn't really know. I now have 4 timeshares there. I do recommend Kaanapali Beach Club. It is also a very beautiful place!!!
