Overall, I had a nice time at this resort with its pleasant vibe and beautiful grounds. The pool area was lovely, and the proximity to the beach made my stay enjoyable. However, I did run into some issues with the room and the staff's demeanor, which wasn't up to par for the price I'm used to paying. I think there are better options in the area.

This hotel offers a decent stay with its proximity to the beach and beautiful surroundings, although it has some issues with ants and parking. The updated rooms provide a modern touch, making it a comfortable place for families, but the constant foot traffic below the lanais can be distracting. Dining options were enjoyable, but improvements could be made in certain areas. Overall, it's a pretty good value but comes with its quirks.

Overall, I had a decent stay at this hotel which is a budget-friendly option in Maui. The beachfront location is stunning, and I enjoyed snorkeling right off the beach. However, my experience was marred by a lack of responsiveness from the staff regarding late checkout and a disappointing breakfast situation. Despite these cons, I would recommend it for those looking to save on accommodation while enjoying the island.

Our stay at Maui Kaanapali Villas was truly enjoyable overall. The spacious grounds and direct beach access were definitely highlights, making it easy for us to relax and soak up the sun. While the initial room we received was disappointing due to its limited balcony and noise levels, the staff was incredibly accommodating in helping us switch to a much better room. However, we did face some challenges with a lack of responsiveness regarding late check-out that left a sour note at the end of our trip.
