Kahana Beach Resort Reviews & Ratings

My family and I stayed at Kahana Beach in March 07. The resort itself was small but the rooms are very nice and extremely comfortable. We had a beautiful view of the ocean (it is almost directly below) and there is a great beach. We would certainly stay here again. The pool is small, but heated and warm (unlike many in Hawaii).

The resort was also a 10 minute walk from Black Rock which is an excellent place to snorkel. We even saw several turtles!

My wife and I own 2 timeshares at Kahana Beach because we like the personal treatment that we receive when we come to town. The location is beautiful - yes the beach is small, but it is private and always offers great relaxation time. The hottub has always been a wonderful place for us to meet new friends and we often spend most of our time on the beach and then in everyone's rooms. Maui is paradise and your accomodations are just a part of the entire equation. You have to see it to believe it.

We stayed here in March 04 and had a great time. I really gotta laugh at other reviews. The hot tub is a 6-8 person "spa" that was always empty and is literally 5 feet off the beach and 15 feet to the waters edge... pretty cool!!! The pool is small but again , the ocean is 15 feet away. They have nice cabana chairs on the deck and every unit has at least an ocean view with the majority having direct balconies with the closest water on the entire island. The units are very nice and clean and well stocked with coffee, laundy soap and all other necessities. No nickle and dime BS. LIKE SOME OTHER RESORTS.I guess if you're going to Maui to hang by the pool ,this isn't the place but we go every year and that's not why we're there. management was also very nice and helpful in every way.

Stayed at this resort 1 full week in September of 2003 and found the resort to be in an excellent location. The rooms were like new. Most of the rooms are Beach Front so the views are wonderful and the convenience of having a sandy beach and a restaurant on the property was magnificent!

We highly reccommend it!

Spartan resort with bare minimum amenities: very small pool, tiny above-ground hot tub, and small strip of sand called beach. Timeshare salesman actually raved about no amenities keeping maintenance fees low! Room is small but comfortable – be sure you are booked in an Oceanfront room – 24 Ocean view units on side of building offer partial view of ocean and no view of sunsets. Upgrades to Oceanfront from Ocean view are rare to impossible according to front desk. As mentioned below, no maid service unless paid for (about $27/service); bathrooms are in need of a makeover, despite “millions” in renovations; Murphy bed seems like a joke but is actually comfortable – too bad the sheets are too small for the bed. Pull-out Sofa, coffee table, TV, nice mini-kitchen, good A/C round out the bill.

When visiting Maui, you will not spend too much time in the room – much to see and do on island. Truly great restaurants are a short drive away. You can also grab beach towels at the front desk and "sneak" over to Sands of Kahana next door – larger beach, pool, hot tub, & lots of lounge chairs for some R&R. Would we stay here again? Probably not. You get what you pay for, and ever though the prices here are not bargain basement, expectations were much higher.

I just got back from a week at the Kahana Beach Resort and I was disappointed. While the rooms had been recently remodeled with nice tile floors, granite countertops and neutral decor, the bathroom fixtures have not been maintained well. The mildew and mold is already forming and the bathroom faucet required a lot of fiddling to shut the water off completely.

The property is small and sparce with a tiny pool area and severe lack of parking. The services offered are "no-frills:" there is no daily housekeeping offered other than a mid- week replacement of towels and trash removal. If you are looking for a low-cost place to stay, it is ok, but I probably would pay a little more next time to get more service as part of my vacation.

Stayed at this resort October 2003. Excellent ocean front view. Excellent service received at all times.
