What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 821 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Kaanapali Alii consistently earns rave reviews for its unbeatable beachfront location and relaxed, upscale vibe. Guests love being steps from a beautiful swimmable stretch of Ka’anapali Beach, with easy walks to Whalers Village, Black Rock snorkeling, restaurants, coffee, and excursions. The resort grounds are lush and impeccably maintained, the staff and bell team are friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere feels peaceful and family‑friendly without the crowds of big hotels. Many reviewers highlight unforgettable sunsets and seasonal whale watching right from the lanai.

The condos themselves are a major draw: spacious, comfortable, and well equipped for longer stays, with full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, and large lanais offering ocean or mountain views. Many units are newly remodeled with comfortable beds and thoughtful touches; hosts and managers are frequently praised for responsive communication. Onsite amenities are strong for a condo resort—multiple pools (including quiet and kids’ areas), two hot tubs, a large, modern fitness center, tennis courts, towel service, and a popular BBQ area with a “grill master” on select evenings. Beach chairs are typically easy to get, and concierge support for activities is often noted as excellent.

A few caveats come up across reviews. As individually owned units, décor and upkeep can vary; some are older or have minor maintenance quirks. Many “two‑bedroom” layouts are actually a 1BR plus den with sliding doors and limited privacy—fine for families, less ideal for two adult couples. There’s no daily housekeeping or on‑site bar/restaurant (most guests cook or walk to nearby spots), and the pool area keeps a quieter tone. At times, natural beach erosion has temporarily affected the boardwalk and direct sand access, though usable beach is usually a short walk away. Parking can be tight for large SUVs, and a few units near service areas or luaus report occasional noise. Overall, traveler sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many repeat stays and comments that it’s one of the best places on Ka’anapali Beach for space, convenience, and a low‑key luxury feel.

The property is beautiful and well kept. You are within walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach and pool. Maui is the most beautiful place I have ever been and is heaven on earth!

We stayed at two neighboring condos and it worked perfect for our family. We have teen and adult children, with a little one of their own and it enabled us to have plenty of “joint” space and private space.

I cannot love this property anymore! What a delight to see the beautiful resort it’s located in and the unit itself was well maintained and clean! Located right on the beach with the most gorgeous pool and spa! My family and I will definitely be back here! The staff were so warm and friendly as well.

Spotlessly clean and in a great location with good views of both ocean and mountains, this property was a pleasure to stay in. However, listing should make clear that there is no closet in the second bedroom.

Unit was as listed with stunning view of beach and sunset. 2nd bedroom with seperate beds worked great for our teenagers. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking evenings.We stayed for 12 days and what we paid was not advertised as having no cleaning service nor was there a vacuum available. For what we paid we should have had some form of cleaning or restocking services.

Everyone has their own opinion as to what is considered clean. For us, our initial impression was the condo was not clean, at least in our minds. Hair and finger prints everywhere from the tubs to the bathroom walls. Bedding was stained and musty smelling as well as the towels. We did throw the towels and some bedding in the wash while we were there to help out. That said, the condo was well equipped for the cost of the week, especially compared to other condos in the building. Yes it is dated but it was well equipped and we expected it to have the dated charm of 1980’s Hawaii. The safe in the unit was also of vintage 1980 and it required a quarter to use it ….which actually jammed the safe and we could not get the key out. Luckily we did not have anything in it as we did not trust it just by how old it was.The condo owner/host, Regan, was fantastic to deal with. She was mortified when we contacted her upon our arrival with our concerns. She did what she could from afar for us and we did appreciate her prompt communication with us. She even tried to get a new digital safe for us to use but it would not have arrived in time. She did give us a little refund which was not necessary but appreciated. She also followed up with her cleaner and then circled back to us to let us know. Either way, our vacation was still fantastic and I am satisfied the owner will take care of these concerns for her future guests.

Very spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped condo - two separate bedrooms each with bathroom. Laundry room, kitchen. Free parking. Great condo complex - well maintained. Great location, beachfront. Beautiful garden and pool, no problem with deck chairs. Nice welcoming owner - I appreciate free late checkout. Cons - service area around the corner (linen,trash) which wasn’t disturbing though. Overall, we had awesome experience.

Having stayed at various units at the Alii this by far was the best unit we’ve stayed at. From the owner to the unit itself we had the best 10 day vacation. We couldn’t have asked for anything more in a condo. We will be back soon!

Great location & condo.

August 2025

Picture perfect beach front condo that made our family vacation into a life long memory! The condo looks directly at the ocean and palm tree lined beach. Wonderful amenities at the property and in close walking proximity to Whalers Village for shopping and Black Rock for snorkeling with fish and sea turtles. Surf lessons directly by the condo was amazing for the kids and allowed the parent to watch from the condo.

I had some concerns about noise with a first floor unit but it was not an issue at all. The unit was well insulated from sound. It was very convenient to the pool, beach, and parking. There was an issue with a clogged drain the first night but it was taken care of the next morning with excellent communication throughout the process.

Everything was as wonderful as we saw on the website. Location was fabulous and close to everything. Check-in was simple, as was checkout. Parking was easy. Kitchen was well appointed and we appreciated having the washer dryer as it allowed us to pack lighter.

The condo was as specified. It was on the ground floor, a very convenient location for coming and going. Yes the view could be said its the parking lot but we didn't care - you aren't in the room much and there is a lot of vegetation around the cool and comfortable lanai so you don't really see the cars. The condo had everything we needed, umbrellas, chairs, boogie board, cooler. It was just like the posted pictures. BBQ area and pool was great to use as well but does get a bit crowded. Close to everything!

If I cold give it a 100 stars I would. This is the 1st time using VRBO and couldn't be happier with the host and property. Check-in at the main office was super easy and we entered the condo. Just our style. It felt like your aunts house, cozy, inviting, comfortable. Weren't afraid to kick off shoes and jump on the sofa. Full sized kitchen which made it perfect for morning breakfasts. saved lots of with being able to eat in. Had a patio looking out at the gorgeous mountains. Also a bin with boogey boards, umbrellas, chairs in case u wanted to take them to the beaches. The property is like a resort with 2 swimming pools, 2 jacuzzis and several grills. They even had a father/son duo grill for you if u wanted to chill. Great, great family environment. Location and actual condo could not be better. The host was the best. Easy to communicate with. Wanted us to relax and didn't have a problem when we had the whole family (7 total) over for breakfast. The host could not have been sweeter and kind. This condo and property will be our go-to for now on. not one negative thing to say about any of it.

I hesitate to write this review because I don't want to let everyone in on the secret....but this unit (and property manager) are simply the best value you can get in Ka'anapali. I have been coming to this beach for 40 years, and this is simply the best location and best set-up for a multi-day vacation - a large spacious condo with a kitchen. Other units may be more modern or have better views, but will run you double the price. Other hotels will be similar. This exact location on the beach has the best depth, the best waves, and best proximity to Whalers village. The property manager is lovely and highly communicative. Thank you.

Hotel - convenient location - friendly staff- clean and spacious- easy check in- plenty of parking- great BBQ area- small pool, but never overly crowdedRoom- exactly as pictured- clean- tons of kitchen necessities- SO MANY linens. We couldn’t possibly run out- great viewsOverall it was an incredible stay. The beach access could not be beat and the easy proximity to shopping at Whalers was awesome. We could have never left the area and had plenty of activities and relaxation to last us all week. We will for sure come back and if this condo is available, we’ll stay here every time.

Everything was exactly as described. We also asked in advance about baby equipment and the owners responded promptly and with all relevant details.Our only issue was that the actual person who made the reservation (me) was not present at check in. Even though we had supplied all of the names of folks who were staying in the unit -- and we all had the same last name -- the staff at the front desk would not let them check in without contacting me (I was not reachable) or the owners.

Absolutely beautiful maintained property with a resort feel without feeling overwhelming huge. Loved the pool area (also had nice sections of grass for kids to play soccer, spike ball, other games) and of course the amazing beach. Such wonderfully friendly and helpful staff too! Perfect location as we loved walking to Whalers Village and Black Rock. It was very easy to get to the pool area, the beach (neither which ever seemed too crowded) and to our car which was so convenient. Condo was spacious, nicely laid out (bathrooms were also great), super clean, comfortable beds. It was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations!! Our group of 6 (3 young adults, 2 adult sisters and our mom) were very comfortable here. I much prefer a condo over an hotel and this was the nicest I have ever stayed at. Our stay seemed too short and everyone wished we had a few more days to enjoy the property and the area.

Our family was so blessed by our stay at Kaanapali Alii! The unit is amazing! The layout is very open and has top class decor! The bathrooms are beautifully designed. The kitchen was fully stocked and the large dining table fit us all very comfortably for card games and meals. Having the washer and dryer was so helpful! The lanai was very relaxing to read in the morning and enjoy meals in the evening. It is the perfect location with easy first floor access to the pool and incredible beach, and just a 5 minute walk to Whaler’s Village, which we visited multiple times! Delicious restaurants are within a few minutes of walking. I highly recommend staying here, you will be so glad you did!

Excellent condo on top floor with views of both the ocean and mountains. The condo was well stocked with dishes and housewares for the full kitchen. Perfect size place for my family of 5 (2 parents and 3 young adults). Ali’i pool was never crowded and we were always able to find a poolside chair. Would absolutely recommend and will be my first choice for future trips to Maui.

This place was perfection for us. It had everything that we wanted to make our vacation fabulous. Views of the beach and the mountains were breathtaking. Walking distance to restaurants and shops.

This unit is well equipped and as advertised. We spent very little time here (primarily for sleep) as we used another unit in the complex as our the for family gatherings.Our group included family ranging in age from 3 to 67 and we all had a great time at Alii.The grounds and facilities are fabulous! This particular unit is dark and there is no view, but we weren’t expecting a view so that was fine.

Unit is fabulous!!! Beds are comfy. Location is perfect. Patio views are the incredible, breezy and cool and you can see forever! Bathrooms were clean and spacious. Family room carpet is in terrible condition; Filthy, so wear your shoes. Washer dryer needs maintenance due to smell from washer and lint and sand build up in dryer.
