Solid resort area with a great beach. Our condo was renovated and was comfortable. Great outdoor mall a short walk away with some coffee shops and restaurants. Fantastic sunset location!

Absolutely loved this place. Was looking for a perfect place for our first visit in Maui and found this place through Costco Travel. Were a family of 5 and needed enough space so we booked a 2 bedroom condo. We had a fully equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a separate living and dining room and a laundry room. Not to mention, the 2 couches in the living room had each a full size pullout bed. Needless to say, we had plenty of room. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Amenities include a gym which I did not get to checkout, grills by the pool so you can cook your own meal. The only thing I would say is that the pool is a bit small but the beach is steps away from the property so not a big deal. Also, there is no restaurant on the property but very close to the Westin and Whalers village where theres plenty of restaurants and shops. Did I mention that this resort is right across Kaanapali Golf Course. Was planning on playing a round of golf but did not get a chance to. Will definitely stay here next time.

Amazing resort! View is amazing, on the one side it has mountain view and on the other side it has a view of vast ocean.

I have never written a bad review. I wanted to warn others. My husband and I saved two years to take our family on this trip. We booked what we thought was the most expensive one bedroom with ocean view room they had. However, we had no view of the ocean. So we went down to front desk to see if we were put into the wrong room. Apparently, that was the ocean view room. We could have booked the partial ocean view room for much less. Anyways, we went down to front desk and asked to see a upgraded room with a view. The ocean view we were looking for is ocean front room. So pay attention note ocean view means you have a view of ocean if stand at the corner of your balcony and lean over. I have to say the staff was very helpful in getting us a wonderful room with a view. Their bellman and custodial staff were so nice. The lady at the front was very friendly too. But, when we went over the price of the upgraded room the lady at the front desk didnt explain the cost of the upgraded room correctly. When we got home from our trip, we were charged way more than was communicate to us. So, overall the staff and grounds were nice. We planned on coming back to the resort and making this our family place. But, after feeling blindside twice. We probably wont come back to this resort. So, just beware when staying at this resort.

Kaanapali Alii is a great option for any type of group and vibe. Nestled between the super fancy Westin and the crazy crowded Hyatt, this resort has access to everything while also feeling like an escape from the loud crowds. Staff was very friendly and helpful

We stayed at a one bedroom plus den condo with partial ocean view. Four adults and a baby slept very comfortably and all had good privacy. We especially appreciated the real crib provided for our baby, not just a pack n play. The grounds are beautiful and conveniently located walking distance to restaurants. Would for sure return to this place.

Dont get me wrong, this is a nice facility. Is it worth the price? A high price comes with high expectations. Here are a few points.....the resort is older than you would believe from the online pictures and description. Our Ocean View unit was on the first floor. There was really no view but was convenient entering and exiting the grounds. Our condo was in need of updating and upgrading the appliances, furnishings, linens, hardware, etc.It is quiet in part due to no dining facility as part of the complex. The location is close to activities, shopping and dining. We must have had the new front desk person on check in. She gave us the incorrect Wi-Fi password so was frustrating initially. She also made us show her our vaccination/Covid19 test results as we were trying to check in. Really? We could not have even boarded the plane had we not had the information in order. After a long plane ride and drive from the airport, we had to dig that out again. She informed us that some people had to be turned away if they did not have the paperwork. I doubt she had the authority to make us Show Ze Papers. I almost broke into my Humphrey Bogart Treasure of the Sierra Madre improvisation but decided against it.Will we come back to Maui? Yes. Will we come back to Kaanapali Alii? Not sure. Will do some comparison shopping first.

Review №13

I went to this resort about almost two years ago. It was very nice. It had everything you need, including good location, kitchen, tv, living room etc. When I went, they gave us the wrong room and our one bedroom + den turned into two bedroom + den and it was very nice and clean. They have grills on the beach so if you can go to the store and buy hot dogs or burger patties it is really nice to watch the sunset whole eating without having to pay seven thousand dollars to eat at some subpar restaurant. There is a pool, which I think is the most useless feature of the place- since your on the beach for crying out loud. But other than pretty nice condo, would definitely go back.

We are in a condo with another couple. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. A kitchen with a dining room and a living room. A nice sized balcony looks out over the beach and the ocean with other islands in the distance.The staff and facilities are wonderful and you can walk a couple of blocks and you have passed several restaurants on the beach.The facility is located on beautiful beaches and near to a lot of activities.

Great place to stay without the touristy resort feel. Right on the ocean front, nice pool and property. The place we stayed in was wonderful overlooking the mountains and ocean. Housekeepers were very nice and everyone got to know you over a couple of days.There is no bar in the pool area, so pack accordingly. Would recommend this place if you need the extra room and kitchen for the vacation!

Review №31

The location and views of the Kaanapali beach is so beautiful. The resort is clean and the staff is very friendly, however this facility is older and most of the units are in desperate need of updating. They are not bad, but in comparison to other resorts on the beach, it might be worth checking out the Hyatt, Marriott or Westin. They are much more modern and have amazing outdoor areas. We spent most of our time out exploring the island but if you want to spend much time at the resort, make sure you check out the other options before making your decision.

Review №32

Clean rooms, good central location to restaurants within the other hotels on the strip and Whalers Village. Basic pool/hot tubs but quieter environment than the other resorts rec areas and some sound and line of sight privacy hedges between the pools which helps make it feel less crowded and more private.

Review №33

The flats were spacious with well equipped kitchens. Loved having grill access near the pool. The ability to BBQ beachside was an unexpected treat.Since it isnt a big resort the hub bub of activities at the pool was kept to a minimum, which was a plus for us. Would return to this same place again in the future.

Review №34

This review does not take into consideration price, merely the experience. The unit was immaculate, with newer appliances and granite counter tops. The feel was contemporary and had all amenities I have at home. The only caveat was the small washer/dryer, but that is better than nothing. No bar or restaurant but the options are plentiful and within walking distance. There is a fantastic grilling area that is complemented with a herb garden. No need to buy a whole container of thyme or rosemary when there is a large bush growing in the garden. The view is spectacular. The beach is sand, but only about 50 feet deep. This is great for Maui but a lot less than what is expected from other tropical destinations.

This is an amazing condo association! The rooms are excellent and ours has a full kitchen two beds and two baths. Outside one bathroom they have another sink which helps when multiple people have to get ready at the same time. The beach view is amazing and the pool is top notch!

Fantastic condos that feel like a home away from home. Garden view, mountain view, ocean view it doesnt matter all views are great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pool area was nice and I appreciated that both the pool and jacuzzi were equipped to be handicap accessible. Beach was steps away and Whalers Villages shops and restaurants were a short walk away.

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed as family. Diana checked us in taking extra care to ensure we were comfortable and had everything for our stay. Then Chris took us to our room unpacked our groceries, showed us around, ensured we had the WiFi password, and knew how to wirk the TV, thermostat, fridge etc. our room is beautifully furnished. It’s very roomy, a master bedroom, a den with sliding doors, two bathrooms and a laundry room. We have a beautiful ocean view and it’s very peaceful on our lanai. We’re so thankful to spend this time unwinding and filling our souls with the Aloha spirit

The resort itself is beautiful. Older structure but clean and well kept. The staff is amazing. The location of my room was the problem. Construction. Caused me so much stress. Could not open windows, for fresh air or to hear birds. Could not be in our apartment during the day! Front desk did not care. Heartbroken.

Review №42

Placed on a beautiful beach. Not very friendly personnel at reception desk. Our suite with a so called garden view was actually a suite with a garage/parking view. The fact that the resort does not have a single restaurant or a bar at least is a big minus. Luckily enough stayed there only for three nights. Will certainly not go back to this place.

The condo was very large with all the amenities. The furnishings were a little dated, but acceptable. The service was great. Ive stayed at majority of the resorts along the kaanapali strip and this is probably one of the quieter ones which is perfect as we came here with a 11 month old infant. Overall I have been very pleased with this condo/resort.

The 2 bedroom condo we stayed in had a gorgeous view and lots of amenities. The have some book and dvds (although a little outdated) you can use. The pool is nice, not as impressive as some of the neighboring hotels but still good. It closes at 9 every night, which sends a little early. They have grills and if you provide the meat, the on staff grill master will cook your meal. Overall we have enjoyed our stay.

Not as good as the previous times I was here. The place above was under construction the whole time. 1000$ a night to here power tools all day. They shut off the elevator without notice and told me to walk up 6 flights of stairs with my luggage. I was happier at the Ritz

Review №68

We have stayed at the Alii twice, and we will probably return. The location on Kaanapali Beach is great, and it is nice to be able to walk to Whalers Village for dining and shopping. It is basically a condominium complex, and I think some of the units are even used as full-time primary residences by their owners. The units are large and nicely furnished. We dont usually want to cook very much while were on vacation, but we used the fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals for our son instead of worrying about finding something for him to eat at the restaurants. There are several large resorts adjacent to the Alii, and they seem much more crowded and noisy by comparison. The Alli feels more laid back, quiet, and casual to us. There are no on-site bars or restaurants, but apparently a limited room service menu is available for delivery from the adjacent Westin. There are several nice grills in the pool area, but weve never cooked on them. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pools are great, but not as huge or fancy as some of the neighboring resorts. The property is also beautifully landscaped. The Alii is perfect for us.

Some of the best rooms Ive ever stayed in. Very clean. All the staff are nice. Be aware they do not allow floats or inflatable rafts in either pool. I wish they allowed them in one of the pools because young kids like them. WiFi uses a four character password which some android devices will not support. They should up their encryption and increase their password length. Proximity to Whalers Village makes the location excellent for a Kaanapali vacation. They have a bunch (eight?) grills near the pool which are a nice amenity.

Ive been going here since before I could even walk and am still impressed with it today. Theyve remodeled their pool a couple times and make significant improvements every time. I enjoy hanging out in the hot tub late at night, as many others do too, and Ive made lots of new friends. The proximity to the (very well kept up) beach with great snorkeling is a very nice feature. The rooms were incredible, and included all the amenities needed (plus a gorgeous view). Staff friendly and made conversion during all elevator rides. Overall nothing new and crazy but what they do, they do incredibly.

Review №99

Overall the rooms and accommodations are nice. Two pools are also nice, one is more kid friendly and the other is geared toward adults with a bar and towel-swap near by. One thing I will say is that the suite we stayed in was a bit dated, and the front door stuck along with two outlets dying in the bathroom. When we checked into the room we were met by a maintenance man trying to fix a leak, and since we were about to go in the room he said he would fix it when we checked out, so we had a puddle on the floor the entire stay. Im not super picky, but Im sure these experiences would turn some people off so I thought I would mention them. Beyond that its relatively easy to get in and out of if youre going out on activities and such. Lyft picks up at the lobby.
