We stayed at Royal Kahana Mar 19- 24. We booked through AAA/Pleasant Holidays. We were allocated Room 904. This place and room was much better than we had expected. My wife and 3 yr old daughter was with me. The view from Lanai was awsome !! I dont know why people are complaining about parking. There is ample parking in front of bldg and also in basement. The basement was 70% empty all the time we stayed there. Checkin was a breeze. Hotel staff was very nice and courteous. They missed giving my daughter the beach play kit. However when I told them the manager came up next day and gave it to us personally. The daily cleaning staff did a great job..they even cleaned our dished. We had a oceanview studio with a King size bed. i would highly recco room 904. The only issue we had was old carpet and old tiles in bathroom but they were clean.

Great location..walking distance to Mcdonalds and other food places, gas station and even a bank and a grocery store. the beach is not big but good enough for kids. Daughter loved the swimming pool ..They cleaned the pool every morning...kahana is pretty close to Lahaina which has a mall,savon and safeway....

The only way to find a parking space is by cutting your evening short. There are fewer parking spaces than guests at the hotel. There are no other options for parking, not even street. It really put a damper on the evenings. Also airconditioning doesn't cool below 73. Capet was very dirty and cabinets peeling. The staff didn't care about anything or anybody.

We were in unit 914 from March2-March16, 2008. We rented from a private party (VRBO #136021). Newly remodeled. Travetine floors and lanai. Granite countertops. New bath fixtures and shower was upscale. Brand new Hawaiian style furniture. Very clean when we arrived. No daily housekeeping so you have to keep it clean yourself for the duration. Great view of Lanai and perfect spot for sunsets. Only downside was the noise factor of 30mph tradewinds blowing thru the back louvers. Sounded like a good old fashioned WI blizzard for five days.Undercover parking always available. Pool area neat and clean and not very crowded, even in March. Favorites were the macnut/banana pancakes at the Gazebo at Napili Shores, the mango daquiries at Hali'imaile General Store, and the fish and chips at Kimo's in Lahaina(lightly breaded Mahi, best I had in Hawaii). We experienced the same front desk treatment that other reviewers noted. NO ALOHA SPIRIT THERE!!!

We rented a one bedroom directly from owner (#812) and it was very nice...recently redone, very clean, comfortable bed, kitchen with everything you need. View was incredible. Beach is not much, but there are plenty of other beaches that are bigger if that's what you're looking for. Nice but not large pool, but never seemed to be crowded. Limited interaction with staff but check in was the least friendly I have ever experienced in Hawaii. Parking sufficient (all lots in Maui have small spaces). Location not in the midst of the resort areas but plenty of amenities in neighborhood. Quiet -- very family atmosphere.
