"The view 😍🌅🐢🐳 incredible is right. We were originally in a partial ocean view (701), it was windy the week we were there, the first night was awful, I thought the sliding glass door was going to shatter and/or the building was going to blow away. I asked to be moved to a lower floor due to the wind, the gal at the front desk was nice and said she could get us a front facing view the next day so we took it. The second night in 701 was not building-blow-away bad but it was still windy, once we moved to the front facing, it took our vacation from good to epic. Oh that view, you literally felt like you were above the water. We watched so many whales jump from our balcony and a few turtles come hang on the beach. The beach was small and always wet but still a great little beach there. Both rooms were clean, the grounds are nothing to speak of but well maintained, the hot tub was a warm tub however they were working on it while we were there and on our last night the Jets were on, the pool was not heated and colder than the ocean. They have great sun loungers that were perfect for relaxing and whale watching. Oh and the BBQ's were great too and a fun hang out/meet other people area while making dinner. All in all it was a great stay for a budget place, I would stay here again. If you are looking for more amenities and nicer grounds with plants, ponds, restaurants and more this wouldn't be your place but if you want a right on the water experience, stay here! "

"Room was clean and had a good set up. We liked the big tub and the kitchen area and that the room had laundry machines. The view was fantastic and the pool was great."

"Great view with an amazing beach! No waves at all and great staff."

"Best experience! "

"Was great!"

"I prefer the smaller, family, not huge resort type stays when heading the islands. The staff is amazing and hospitable. The best part is they have a cultural center to learn about Hawaiian culture and have kept the old traditions of the original Kaanapali Beach "

"Loved every bit of this place!"

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The room was beautiful, very comfortable, and spotless. Housekeeping did an excellent job every day — everything was always clean and fresh. The resort itself is stunning and very well maintained. We loved everything here — the atmosphere, the service, and the attention to detail. The food was delicious with a great variety of options, and the staff were friendly and professional throughout our stay. It was so comfortable and beautiful here — we honestly wished we could stay longer. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this resort Hotel!!!"

"The whole experience was terrific! We loved the condo and we had easy access to all there is to do in Maui. The view was incredible!"
