I booked my condo through VRBO and was very happy with it. My room was Banyan 130 and it was very nice, clean, roomy and so easy to come and go from. It was a corner unit on the bottom and I never used my actual door, I just came and went through the sliding glass doors which made it feel like home. All units are decorated different so make sure you get some pics of your unit but all are roomy and seem to be nice.

The beach in front of condo's is perfect, and I went all over the island, and it can't be beat. Make sure you go down towards to the new Westin to Snorkel, it was terrific and just off the beach!

You can walk to the more well known Kaanapali beach with all the high rises. Great walk along our beach, go through the Sherton parking lot and there you are, so convienent and easy, loved it.

I ate at Castaway twice, it was good but there are so many other places to eat like BJ's Pizza in Lahaina, YUM! Also Breakfast at Seahouse on Napili was nice. Gotta do lunch and dinner at Hula Grill and Lelani's everything is good and reasonably priced there.

I drove around a lot and it a perfect locaiton from Napili/Kahana/Kapalula area as well as Lahaina. Make sure you take the great lower highway to Kahana, fun scenic drive. There is a wonderful farmer's market open each AM just before Kahana that has GREAT local fruit, bagels, breads, avacodo's etc, gotta check it out.

I loved it so much I will be back for sure!!

BTW, the new pool is done and it very nice but never used it b/c the beach is MUCH better.

We had stayed here a few years ago and came back. We like the low profile of the hotel near the uncrowded beach (a building towering above as I sunbathe is a bit unnerving). The beach is beautiful. The room was clean and spacious enough for two. The staff was pleasant. The location was excellent. For the price we were pleased.

If you don't mind staying at a low end Hotel for the Money you could still probably find a better deal somewhere else. The rooms (or most to my knowledge) are privately owned. In most cases this is common in Maui. The problem is that each owner designs their condo to their own taste. In our case this meant everying including kitchen and bathroom fixtures. This is evident when you walk around the resort at night and can see inside some of the condos' from the outside; and there lies the reason why some reviews are favorable and some are not. Some rooms are good and in our case horrible. The outside of the resort, OUTDATED. Problems with our room- kitchen that was hip in the 80's, bathroom that Jack tripper would have loved, clogged tub, dirty tile floor, broken fixtures, scary smoke detector, insects (not the cute kind), dirty stains on carpet (which showed up in photos), television with bad reception, far North Kaanapali location (although they do have a bus that will take you to the main Kaanapali hotels so you can catch thier bus to Lahina). Get the picture, we only stayed one night. This is not what you pay for when you travel to Hawaii. On the plus side the beach is beautiful.

Maui Kaanapali Villas was awesome! Joe was the" best " @ the front desk. The location was perfect on Kaanapali Beach it was quite, yet close to plenty of activities. The resort was undergoing renovations on the grounds. Will stay here again!
