Napili Shores Resort - C117 - 'A Tropical Paradise!'

The location of the resort was perfect. The actual room was dated and not the cleanest. There were a few things not working and the house cleaner/handyman was difficult to get a hold of and he did not return to fix things. Dishes were dirty and we needed to wash everything we used prior to using them.

The studio was well stocked with everything you would need, including spices, shampoo, paper products and many more items.

Theresa was great at communicating.

I needed a relatively inexpensive place nearby for my parents to stay while they were on Maui for a visit. This fulfilled all our needs and we were all very happy with it.

Napili Shores Resort reminds me of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". It's not too big, and not too small- it's just right! It has that "Old Hawaii" feel with it's beautiful gardens, the well-kept pools, and the breathtaking views of Napili Bay. During our stay in Maui we split our vacation with a big fancy resort in Kaanapali and here at Napili Shores. Oh-how I wish we had stayed here the entire time!

C117 was a dream to stay in. First of all, it was clean, well maintained, and had all the extra fixings! This condo is well stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, snorkel sets, and more. It also had a kitchen stocked with all the gadgetry you'd need- along with spices and other condiments that make preparing dinner on those gas BBQs a dream come true.

Our days staying in C117 included going for walks/runs along the oceanfront trail just up the street, lounging at the pools, snorkeling and boogie boarding at Napili Bay, eating at the Gazebo, cooking/BBQing, playing shuffleboard, searching for geckos, and heading down to Lahina, Kapulua Bay, Kaanapali, and beyond. You could also go and swim with the turtles...literally right below and to the right of the Gazebo restaurant that's on the property. Amazing!

What I really liked about Napili Shores vs. the big resorts was it's "coziness". We could park our car right by our condo and not have to valet-park it or our car be far away in some packed parking lot. We didn't have to swim in a pool with 50 other people or frantically try to search and stake out a chair near the pool. And, we could easily go for a dip in the pool, go to the condo, and then right over to the ocean without having to travel across an expansive resort property. Yes- maybe Napili Shores doesn't have the waterslides or the cocktail drinks by the pool- but it also didn't charge me extra to rent an umbrella for pool shade and swimming with those giant sea turtles was priceless!

The owners were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend C117 for your next Hawaaian get-away. You will not be disappointed!

We came in May of 2010 with our whole family! 13 of us. Children, spouses and grandchildren. We had the best vacation ever. The room was equiped with all we needed to enjoy the beach and pool. The family atmosphere and the barbeques made us feel like we were really there to relax and enjoy our family! We have been to Napili Shores 6 times and this was the first time going through VRBO. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I missed the little wonderful soaps and lotions, but the cost differncial was worth it. You can buy the lotions and soaps at ABC if you really consider that a deal breaker. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
