*Effective January 1, 2024, guest parking at Royal Kahana will be $18.00 per day, plus tax.

Royal Kahana #409 offers stunning ocean and sunset views and features comfortable high-end designer décor. It is the perfect place to watch whales breach (during season) from your oceanfront living room or lanai. The islands of Lanai and Molokai are just across the water. The kitchen and bathroom are newly remodeled and modern. The bedroom features an ultra comfortable King size bed. There is also a new sleeper sofa bed. The kitchen is fully appointed and features top of the line appliances and a full set of dishes and cookware. Enjoy dining indoors at the dining area or outside on your private lanai. If you prefer cooking outdoors, Royal Kahana has oceanfront BBQ grills available to use. Both the living room and the bedroom are set up with flat screen TVs. Beach towels and a cooler are provided in the condo for your convenience.

The Royal Kahana Resort is situated on lush tropical grounds in beautiful Kahana. It is an ideal place for turtle sightings, whale watching (during the winter months) and simply relaxing. The resort features a swimming pool, shuffle board, a fitness center, an activities desk and much more!

Just north of Royal Kahana is the famous Kapalua Bay. Kapalua Bay is always voted as one of the top beaches in the world by Conde Nast Magazine. Honolua Bay is just a bit farther north and is a marine reserve that is a must see and snorkel destination!

*Please note: This is an ocean front resort on a volcanic island. Due to oceanic and environmental conditions, we can not predict the amount of beach front (or access to it) will be available at the time of your visit. Sometimes Royal Kahana has a beach, and sometimes it doesn't. Rest assured, there are exceptional beaches nearby (if not directly in front of the resort).

Bed was very comfortable loved falling asleep every night listening to the sound of the ocean. Pull out couch was comfortable for my daughters. Kitchen had everything we needed as well. It was great we had a boogie board, beach chairs, & cooler to use!!! We even added to that, and left our beach toys behind for someone else to enjoy.

Home away from home

We had a wonderful 7 days! We loved the layout of the condo. It was bright, open and airy, with beautiful views of the ocean from the living room and the bedroom! Each room was a nice size. Lots of closet space in the bedroom. Washer and dryer was greatly appreciated, as was the beach chairs and cooler! The extra fans worked wonderfully along with the air conditioner. The building itself was easy to get through via elevators. The pool was a wonderful place to relax, and had a great view to the beach. If you got tired of the pool area, you can just walk a few feet to the beach. All in all, a wonderful place to be, It was great! We will definitely be back!

Even better than the listing!

We loved this property. It was in an area that wasn’t quite as busy so it made getting in and out super slick! Checkin in was super quick and easy! That view when you first walk in to the rental…Wow!!!! The ocean and the whales 🏝️🐋 were my favorite part! We watched whales right from the lanai. The room was nicely remodeled. The bed was comfortable. They left a cooler, beach chairs, snorkeling equip, and boogie board so that was awesome and used. I can’t really speak much to the property outside of the room as we were out exploring while we were there instead of hanging out in one place. We did use the pool once and it was good. I saw several people people using the grills. I already referred a friend to use this place. We loved our time!

All The Turtles & Whales Blocked Our View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Royal Kahana 409 Was a Royal experience to say the least! To start, the property management company made it all so easy and quick. Check in instructions were thorough and its nice to have all the info you need in one email. The span of views from the unit were second to none and we watched huge groups of turtles come up on the beach daily. We were a little early for whale season but they started pouring in near the end of our stay. The kitchen, Bathroom, all of it were not your typical resort amenities, they rivaled most high end homes. We will be staying here again, maybe for years to come. A blessed experience!!!!

Nice older condo with great ocean views. Condo was right on the water, clean and had decent finishes. The unit washer & dryer was nice. Pool was nice but the complex didn’t turn the heater on until the last day of our stay. The one issue with the unit itself was that it was really windy for parts of our stay and the wind whipped through the vented windows next to the entry door creating a loud whistling next to entry door. I called management about the issue but they never responded. Some of the neighbors who live there stayed it’s because the windows are old. It was an issue for me as the whistling made it hard to hear when I was on my phone taking work calls.

Aloha Rick, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We value our guests feedback and the opportunity that it gives us to provide even better experiences for our future guests. We do encourage our guests to reach out during their stay if there is anything needed that we could assist with and would have sent maintenance over to take a look at the issue with the windows. This is a privately owned unit so any reports made directly to the Resort does not make it back to us. We will reach out to the Resort and let our maintenance team know about your concerns. We are very proud of our Team and the timely manner in which we respond and rectify situations with our guests. We built our business reputation on solid business principles and a strong work ethic. The views from the lanai are nothing short of magical. From sunsets to whale visits, this condo offers it all. The central location makes dining, shopping and activity excursions very convenient. It was our pleasure to host you. Mahalo Nui Loa

I wish I could write a good review

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We checked in at about 10pm on Sunday and the room temp was in the mid-70's even though the thermostat was set for 66 degrees. Contacted Epic Realty the next day and someone came out the day after but was unable to fix the problem. It wasn't fixed for another 6 days during which time the temp never went below 74 and ranged as high as 81 degrees for.Contacted Epic numerous times and they indicated that the Royal Kahana staff would have to fix the problem as it was with their ‘chiller’ system and indicated that I wasn’t the only one experiencing the problem.Finally, more than a week after checking in, the system started blowing cool air. However, it never got below 71 degrees for the remainder of our stay.When I asked if Epic could re-imburse us for some or all of those days I was told unequivocally that there would be no refunds and we would not be moved to another condo.In addition to the air conditioning problem, one of the windows was broken and wouldn’t open, and the screen door to the lanai was crooked and not close properly.Overall, the condo was clean however the windows were filthy, and the sliding glass door was hazy. I was able to clean the sliding glass door but couldn’t do anything about the windows.The location of the condo was great, and we actually saw sea turtles laying eggs on the beach outside the condo. When the weather permitted, we had great views of the whales and sunsets.While the staff at Epic tried to be helpful, they couldn’t fix the air conditioning problem and took a hands-off approach to getting the Royal Kahana to fix it until many people reported the problem. They did forward my request for re-imbursement to their leadership who promptly rejected it. The leadership never reached out to me preferring to make their staff do that. Clearly, they prefer profits over customer satisfaction.

We do encourage our guests to reach out during their stay if there is anything needed that we could assist with and would have had maintenance take a look at the issue with the window and screen door while we were there to assist with the AC. We are very proud of our Team and the timely manner in which we respond and rectify situations with our guests. We did explain to you that the AC is a water chilling system, which works differently than split air conditioning units. The temperature will cool between 72-74 degrees. It is maintained and controlled by the Resort. During your stay the entire Resort was experiencing issues with the AC chilling system, it was not isolated to just this unit. We do encourage our guests to keep the blinds, windows, and doors closed to assist with keeping the condo cool. We did look into moving you to another property, but there was no availability for the duration of your stay. We built our business reputation on solid business principles and a strong work ethic. The Resort controls and maintains the chilling system and our Team worked with you and the Resort to rectify the AC issues you experienced as best as we could. This unit has a great location and is a direct ocean front unit steps away from world famous Kaanapali Beach and the Whalers Village. It is has a newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom. We do our best to provide all the home away from home feels for our guest during their stay with us so they can enjoy their time exploring our beautiful island Maui. We wish you the best. Mahalo Nui Loa

1 week stay in 409

Pictures are accurate. Toilet paper is worst grade and they only offered 2 day supply. There was no tissue. Other supplies were adequate. Plenty of closet and drawer space. Unit is on northwest side of building so sunset is viewable only from lanai in October. The neighbor directly below on 3rd floor is hostile.
Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2021
