Kaanapali Beach Club

Ka’anapali Beach Club is my escape from every day life. I usually stay at Ka’anapali Beach Club in May and November. I love the location and the relaxing atmosphere. The rooms have a lot of space not confined like a lot of Marriott accommodations of same type of unit (I know from my personal experience). The beach is very nice: clean and not busy from foot traffic like Marriott property at Whalers Village (nonstop chain of people passing, next to your chair and constant noise). This is my primary reason to stay at Ka’anapali Beach Club for a very relaxing vacation. I am a runner, so every morning I am going for a 10ml run north to Kapalua. Beautiful road for running or relaxing walk. You will be able to see the residential area between resorts and very beautiful volcanic costal trail in Kapalua, please take advantage to see it... If you would like to see very busy life take a nice walk on the beach to Whalers Village: restaurants, shops. You will really appreciate the peace a quite after that visit… The resort has very accommodative customer service. I like the fact: restaurant has different menu every day, so a lot of verity. If you need any recommendations on attractions or local’s favorite places to see, have lunch or dinner- just ask, you will be able to discover more hidden secrets. Take advantage of your free time and see the nature, drive around. The roads not congested, so the driving will be fun. May vacation is coming up in three weeks and I can’t wait. I have the memory of ocean breeze on my face with sound of coming waives and intoxicating smell of tropical plants and Plumeria when I am running early in the morning.

Family of 4 stayed September for 10 days. Third visit to the immediate area. A very low key and comfortable setting. Staff was really outstanding, particularly the bell captain/parking staff. Our room was dated, but my sister's room on the other side was upgraded with flat screens, etc... Big difference. Couldn't leave windows open at night because of birds. Maybe something could be done about that. Food for kids was great and cheap, but I found adult food bland. Normally I spend alot more money at the pool but I found myself not wanting to order...the exception were the drinks, which were excellent. Seems that putting a strong free wireless connection in the building would be welcomed, I met several folks trying to find the "perfect spot" to get an outside connection in the lobby. Liked the pool and the slide for the kids. Resort is in an ideal location for trips to Lahaina and Kapalua. Would return but I am not sure if I would own.

I am a owner and my unit is located in the upgraded portion of the resort. Very beautiful. I love keeping my balcony doors open during the night and listen to the waves. During the day, I can watch the whales (during whale season) from my balcony - very entertaining. There is a fairly new walkway along the beach so I enjoy my morning walks for about 3 miles each day or you can also walk to a Luau (sp?) There is a grocery store within short walking distance and also a farmer's market. I do miss the complimentary daily cocktail reception with entertainment. A great way to meet people and talk about vacations and restaurants, etc.

A fantastic location with a great, attentive staff. Extremely family-friendly, BUT NOT overrun with kids ! The view is amazing, especially during whale season and the constant upgrades to amenities assure a room that is very up-to-date. The nicest resort on Maui that is not "stuffy."

Virtually anything you want to do is within close reach from this resort.

Perfect for newlyweds, adults and whole familes. Try to get Deluxe Ocean Front view whenever possible and request a corner room. you WON'T be disappointed.

Many of the units are very dated, it requires major renovations. As disappointing as the complex itself was, the location is good and so are the beaches in the area, keeping in mind Kaanapali is know to be very windy. I wouldn't recommend this place till upgrading has been completed. The pool is great for kids and is one of the only positive things I can offer.
