The Sheraton Maui at Black Rock is the best hotel on Kaanapali Beach. I've stayed at the Hyatt, Marriott and Westin in Kaanapali and the Sheraton is by far my favorite. Not only is their property on the best snorkeling spot along Kaanapali Beach, the Sheraton is a beautiful property with a true Hawaiian feel. Unlike the other hotels - the Sheraton is a low rise property that blends beautifully into the surroundings. The pool is very nice - it meanders through the grounds giving the guests spectacular views along the way. One big plus is the availability of deck chair and shade - unlike the other Kaanapali hotels where one has to arrive early in the morning to stake out a spot. The staff was very welcoming and everyone had a true Aloha spirit. Everyone we talked to - from the valet, to the bellman, to the pool staff, to the maids - they were all genuinely eager to do what ever they could to make our stay special. Our stay was indeed special and I look forward to returning.

My wife and I spent 7 nights (checked out May 2nd) at the Sheraton Maui and this resort was great. This resort seems like it truly belongs in Maui and was not one of the high-raise hotels so it fit perfectly on the beach.

The pools were great with lagoons connecting the two pools. The beach was great as was the fire cliff diving which occurred nightly.

The breakfast menu was fantastic, although a little pricey. Fresh pineapple and other fruits daily.

Truly a great resort in paradise.

For a day trip consider flying to Oahu (only an short 45 min plane ride) and take a drive up to the North Shore.

Wow, what a beautiful resort ! i took my best friend to Maui for her 50th birthday. We had a wonderful time from start to finish. We had our room up graded upon arrival. The whole staff was exceptional. The beach area was terrific ! The breakfast buffet was so delicious every day. We are already planning to go back in 2 years to celebrate my 50th birthday. The trip of a lifetime--stay at the Sheraton Maui, for sure !!! It can't be beat !!!!!!! BEST PLACE TO STAY !!!!!

We stayed at the Sheraton during our honeymoon and were upgraded to a deluxe ocean view room. We couldn't have asked for a better room- champagne on ice, huge bathroom and amazing view from the balcony!!

The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly, and everyone has the Aloha spirit that you read about. Nothing is too much trouble. The food and drinks that we had, although being quite pricey, were very tasty whether we ate from the pool bar or main restaurants. I'd definately recommend the Pina Coladas!

The hotel grounds were spotless, and beach on the doorstep.

The only downside was that it got very quiet on an evening and there was very little entertainment, something that I'm sure improves in peak period, however as we were there to relax it didn't really matter.
