Marriott Vacation Club Hotels in Kaanapali

We had a brief but really fun stay here at the Westin Maui Resort and Spa. We were warmly greeted by the sweetest staff member, Megumi. She heard that it was our dream one day to stay here and for our 16th anniversary we made it happen, and she surprised us with Leis! It was incredible. The staff here are attentive and kind and so welcoming! Michael with Maui Gold pineapples made sure to tell us all about the resident HUGE fish in the Koi pond, a cousin to the piranha, whose name is “Mitch”. The kids loved the fun facts he shared, as well as offering us some of his delicious Maui Gold Pineapple and some chocolate buckeyes he generously shared with us. The lobby had our complimentary coffee for guests from 6-9am, and a fun flamingo (yes, there are FLAMINGOS!) and koi feeding at 9am. Upon arrival we were also given two complimentary tickets to grab a cocktail or mocktail at their poolside bar. There were other complimentary offerings as well that we did not take advantage of. The kids spent most of their time on the waterslides. Poolside seating can be difficult to find if you arrive later than 10am, but if you’re patient and keep an eye out, a space usually opens up. The location can’t be beat as it’s directly next door to Whalers, which has great shopping and restaurants that are beachfront. Awesome snorkeling at Black Rock is a short 5-7 min beach walk from the hotel. We were really happy with our stay! Our room faced the mountains and we had a gorgeous view of the sunrise. There are private adult only hot tubs (one infinity sand bottom!) and pools as well. Water bottle filling stations are found on the lobby floor. Excellent choice for families. $35 self park fee or $45 valet.

We stayed five nights at Honua Kai. The exterior grounds were well kept though the pool was cloudy on more than one day. I’d say the pool was average+ compared to others I’ve visited. Hotel was on the beach so it was nice to have that as an alternate swimming option- awesome views too! Barely any drink waiters around the pool which wasn’t a huge deal but gives you an idea of the level of service available. We didn’t have room service the entire time we were there which was annoying. Maybe that’s the new norm post-Covid but it would’ve been helpful with five people in a room. And honestly, it’s a cheap way out for hotels IMO. Fitness room was over 80 degrees. There were only large fans; no A/C in half the gym. There was one yoga mat for the entire room. One day I went in, there were no water cups. Just felt the overall attention to interior maintenance was average at best. The place is massive. Half are condos and half are rentals. Nice space available in the rooms for families. Having the kitchen and two bathrooms was a bonus. Average, clean rooms with nice views. In a scale of stars, Id give it a solid 4. Nothing special, but clean and good for families.

The location is OK, the hotel has a shuttle bus to the shopping center, about 7 or 8 minutes drive. But you can't walk, there is no sidewalk on the main road. The service is normal and the facilities are a little backward to be difficult to understand. As a four-star hotel, you don't provide toothpaste or water. You also need to buy it yourself. The convenience store of the hotel is not open 24 hours a day. It would be very troublesome if you did not rent a car. The overall hotel in Maoyi Island is much more expensive than other well-equipped islands such as Oahu Island, and things are not complete. I would suggest that considering renting a home will be more cost-effective.

The environment is beautiful, the beach is in front of it, and it is very convenient to go to the nearby shopping village through the beach path, and the LV goods are really complete. There is a yoga class worth experiencing in the morning. Overall good, although the hotel is a bit old, it is still very clean. When I first arrived at the hotel porch, the attitude of the parking guys needs to be improved.

I booked a garden view room for 3 to 4 people. The room is huge and beyond imagination. In fact, it is a two-bedroom, one living room with a corner balcony, and a kitchen dining table. Although it is not facing the sea, the mountain scenery on the opposite side is extremely beautiful, the sky is high and the ground is wide, and the clouds are floating. In addition to the large room, the rest is lackluster, the overall is outdated, the swimming pool is average, the beach is narrow, and the infrastructure is still being constructed between the two to block the passage, which makes the space on the seaside cramped. Downstairs, there is a small night market square consisting of several food trucks, and there are also several businesses selling T-shirts and handmade wood carvings. The overall grade of the hotel is 3-4 stars, the experience is average, and the price/performance ratio is acceptable, so I don't recommend it.

The environment is not bad, it is cost-effective, very close to the mall, no parking fee, very warm, a welcome necklace is sent as soon as you enter the door, recommended. And there is a refrigerator, microwave oven, suitable for supermarkets to buy things to live
