When the big bird touches down at the Kahului airport , and we’ve collected our bags, and completed all the paperwork for our rental car, we find our favorite island radio stations and let the warm, gentle sounds of Hawaiian music wash over us. Now, it feels like home. Our experience of the passage of time in the islands has... More

After reading these reviews, I knew to request an ocean front room. We arrived at the airport way before check-in (around 11am, check-in is at 4pm) and called the front desk to see if we could check in early and to request an ocean front room. They didn't have anything available at that time but said they would call us... More

Thank you for staying at Kahana Beach. We are glad that you enjoyed fantastic views of the turtles and whales right from your room! Your description of the patio feeling like you were right on the water sounds truly breathtaking. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you will return soon! More

My husband and I stayed here alone the first time. Great hotel for couples. The view is unbeatable if you get an ocean front room. Even those rooms on the side are still not too shabby view wise. The staff has always been friendly. The expedia desk is nice to access if need be right in the lobby. Swimming right... More

We purchased a one-week yearly studio unit at this resort in 2008 and were told that all studio units faced the ocean. These units have a magnificent view of the ocean: all you see is ocean and the islands of Lanai and Molokai. When we arrived this year, imagine our shock and disappointment when we opened the door to our... More

Thank you for staying at Kahana Beach. We appreciate your ownership and are sorry your last visit didn’t meet expectations. The first months of the year are very busy owing to the annual whale migration and Valentine’s, with numerous multi-week owners on property.

We bought two weeks of timeshare here in 2009. As owners we were told we always got an ocean view and that has been true. We love the higher floors but understand that we cannot always have them. This year we lucked out and we are on the 11th floor (out of 12) on the south corner with a 270... More

This is the first review I have ever written. I have been an owner of a one BR unit for many years. Every previous year the Kahana Beach has been awesome. However, this year has been aweful.
