Kaanapali Alii is a 5 Min Walk to Shops and Restaurants

As far as value goes for Maui - this was location, location, location!l.... at a lower price. Great value compared to other options nearby. Best place to stay if you want near shopping and on the sandy beach! Hotel staff is wonderful and property manager was very communicative. Will be back.

The property was perfect for our family of five with three teenagers. The pool and beach area was perfect and we grilled and ate in the community grilling area which was great.

The kids could walk to the shops and restaurants on their own and lots of activities were right at our fingertips. We had everything we needed!

Great location, roomy condo. Nice balcony. There are a couple of boogie boards, a small cooler for you to pack your lunches. So close to so many restaurants as well as a couple miles from Lahaina. Perfect. During our stay the adjacent apartment was being renovated 3 days of loud construction, water outages and window cleaning. But it was a rare event. The owner let us check out late, the hotel gave us cabanas on the beach to compensate.

Kaanapali Alii is a fantastic property with awesome amenities and walking distance to many more, including a Starbucks & Ululani's. We were able to look inside other updated units on-site, and given their higher nightly rates, this particular condo is a good deal.

Unit #133 is well-equipped in a number of areas. In the kitchen, we were particularly excited to see a double-oven, blender (for fresh smoothies), four-slice toaster, and crockpot (for making meals while we were out playing!). There are great beach toys, including boogie boards, folding chairs, and a cooler. It was great having thermostats in each room, which allowed everyone to control their own temperature. The sliding doors to the awesome lanai are also connected to the thermostats so the A/C stops when they are open. The condo has its own WiFi network, but it seemed spotty at times. Someone left hand-written instructions on how to use the living room TV, so we added to it. Finally, the unit also overlooks the Westin's Luau, which was fun to watch!

A few items of note: The third bedroom is a converted den, so there is no closet, and the doors are just sliders. There are two steps up to the den, and the corners of the queen bed stick out a bit past the mattress, so it requires a little caution to navigate. The master bedroom has a walk-in shower, while the 2nd bedroom has a tub. Some of the towels seemed unlaundered (they might just be old), but that was easily remedied by the in-suite washer & dryer. The living room is a great space for adults to converse after kids go to bed, but it would be nice if there was more light for evenings (there was an abundance of light switches in the common area that didn't seem to be connected to anything). The kitchen sink disposal and dishwasher did what they needed, but they felt like they were on their last legs.

The condo seemed tired and dated in areas, but overall this unit was just what two families with small kids needed in a great complex & location. I wouldn't hesitate to use Freida & stay here again!

The common areas at Ka'anapali Alii are phenomenal. Beautiful pool. Two spas. Very nice exercise gym. Our whole family plays tennis, so we enjoyed the tennis courts, which are immaculately maintained. They are clay, but it was fun playing on a different surface for a change. There are several grills near the pool/beach. When my husband took steaks, burgers, hot dogs to the grills, there was an employee there that helped him! The steaks, etc, came out perfect! If you would like to eat by the grills, there is a large shaded area nearby with several tables that will seat large families. The location of this property is superb. You can walk to Whaler's Village in 5 minutes or less. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful!

This particular unit is perfect for families (or traveling with friends). My husband and I traveled with 4 teenagers and grandpa. The unit was very clean. We found a couple of towels that didn't look like they had been laundered, but for the most part the unit was spotless.

This particular unit could use a few items such as alarm clocks (yes, people tend to use their cell phones these days, but some of us still use alarm clocks); a griddle for pancakes, another light for reading in the the bedroom w/ the 2 queen beds. The TV in the master was great, but we had major issues with the TV in the den. Sometimes we couldn't even get it to come on. The TVs in the other 2 bedrooms were a bit petite for the size of the rooms. We also had issues with the dishwasher and garbage disposal. It might be helpful to include a notebook with "how-to's" on running the TVs (maybe a listing of channels), dishwasher, etc. Just a thought. But overall, we enjoyed stayed here. Would definitely stay here again!
