Kaanapali Beach Club

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!!!

We have stayed at the Embassy Vacation Resort for the past 10 years. It is absolutely great for families and vacationers that do not like snobby people. We have also stayed at the Westin and Maui Marriott - both are beautiful but hotel units are very small. The bartenders at the pool bar are very friendly.

We did not go this year. Can someone tell me if "all" of the elevators are now working? Did they ever re-open the nicer restaurant or is it just the Ohana Grill outside area by the bar? Do they still have pool side beverage and meal service?
