This hotel is a great value for those who want to experience Hawaiian culture while staying at a comfortable hotel with beautiful grounds and the most lovely beach in Maui only a stone's throw away. The hotel isn't brand new and it isn't a place that gouges you for a high price because it is loaded with fancy pools and... More

The Ka'anapali has everything you need to have a "home away from home." The grounds are beautiful and the hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It is a clean hotel with a great restaurant. We will be staying here on our next trip to Maui.

We had the delicious opportunity of having a Mother's day champaign Brunch in the Tiki Terrace of this grand and beautiful Hawaiian hotel. The terrace specializes in serving regional cuisine with lots of seafood as well as the biggest assortment of pork, beef, lamb and chicken entrees I have ever seen. Add to this all the breakfast choices you could... More

This is a wonderful place to stay on Maui. We stayed for a week in April and loved it. I did not experience any of the negatives mentioned in some other reviews. Our room was clean and comfortable. The balcony or lanai was large and accommodating and that's where I'd enjoy my morning coffee, looking out over the lush courtyard... More

Just returned from 2 weeks (May 1 thru 15, 2013) this was our fifth visit, and counting the days until next visit. We were in the Kaui Wing 4 th floor,pool view, the staff is excellent, can't do enough for you. Whoever doesn't like the feel and atmosphere of this wonderful establishment doesn't know the meaning of "Ohana" which you... More

Ok. Maybe I'm a snob. Maybe I"m just more discriminating than others. Why is this place rated so highly? It's Motel 6 on the beach! A Dump! With a capital D! Admittedly, I usually stay in 5 star hotels but this was supposed to be a 2-night "place to crash." Well, I nearly cried when I arrived. The musty-smelling lobby,... More

Ka'anapali Beach Hotel is a relic from a by gone era that has seen better days and now resides in a the shadow of tortured slow death. It's lobby is musty and adored with outdated items. The rooms are dark and depressing. One can see the cracks forming in the walls and various parts of the campus are in need... More

This hotel has a wonderful location, but I wouldn't choose to return. Some people don't care where they stay, but for me and my family, the accommodations truly do play a role in the vacation experience. The room was dark, which doesn't feel very Hawaiian IMO. It was also stuffy/smelly when the ceiling fan was off and the sliders were... More

I researched several hotels on Kaanapali Beach before deciding to stay at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel. ( April-May 2013, 8 nights) I had a choice along the beach of the usual chain hotels. I chose this hotel after reading reviews on trip advisor and other sites. The reviews generally described exactly what I found to be true. This is a... More

KBH is what it says it is - the most Hawaiian hotel. It has the character of a time past in Hawaii and a wonderful location on Kaanapali Beach. We found the staff to be so friendly, the grounds beautiful (we could see the effort that has gone into the grounds compared to years past), and the Hawaiian activities to... More
