Kaanapali Alii

A low-key, family-focused complex right on Kaanapali Beach, with garden courtyards, poolside grills and calm pools a short beach-path walk from Whalers Village. Best for families and multigenerational groups who want a roomy condo kitchen and resort grounds without the bustle of a big hotel.

What guests say

1 in 4 reviews mention kids or family

Guests love

  • Walk-out ground-floor units. Ground-floor units open onto a lawn and garden courtyard steps from the pool and beach, a repeat favorite with toddler families.
  • Whales from the lanai. In winter and spring many guests watch whales breach from their balconies over morning coffee, and a few spotted dolphins too.
  • Resort grounds, not the crowds. Pools, hot tubs, a quiet adult pool, kiddie pools, a towel cabana and BBQ grills, yet guests say they could usually find a chair.
  • Luau shows from the balcony. Units facing the Westin next door look down on its luau and hula shows, which guests count as a free evening bonus.

Worth knowing

  • Pools are on the modest side. A few families found the main pool smaller than expected and short on slides or features for older kids, though toddlers love the shallow pools.
  • Older, split-level layouts. Many units show their age, with steps between rooms, louvered interior doors and some second bedrooms that are dens behind sliding doors.
  • No food on site. There is no restaurant or bar on the grounds and beach umbrellas are rented from the resort, so check what gear your unit supplies.
Choosing a unit: Ground-floor units are a repeat favorite for families with little ones, since they open straight onto the lawn, pool and beach path. Upper floors are where guests describe whale watching and ocean-and-mountain views, while back-side units trade views for quiet.

The condo is gorgeous and as shown in the pictures. It is a quiet property with comfortable bedding. The kitchen has all the equipment needed to make great meals. Washer and dryer also worked extremely well. The owner is very nice and easy to communicate with. Easy to walk to great restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed our visit.

Great experience with our family! Plenty of space to relax and recharge with teenagers and everyone had their own space and the room was very quiet..views were amazing and loved the reading selection!

Beautiful location with view of the beach and mountains. The Condo was large enough to host 7-8 people and had good amenities. Outside of one issue with dishwasher the stay was smooth and comfortable. Will recommend the property and location overall.

Communication with Maui Rentals was great! Prompt communication reduced any stress while checking in or needing anything during the stay.

Great location and liked that it was not a big resort pool with all of the craziness. No views from the lanai but it’s quiet because it’s on backside of the building. AC was strong. Appreciate that they had snacks and coffee for us.

Broken AC in the living room with no repair in the week that we were there. Otherwise was a nice place on the beach.

We had the best time and will definitely be returning Loads of extra pillows and blankets. Washer and dryer were so awesome to have. While beach day set up in the hall closet, so you don’t need to bring anything. Clean, amazing views

★★★★★ July 2026

Overall we were very happy with the unit. Fit our needs perfectly and loved being on the ground floor. Excellent condition and beds were comfortable. Our only comment would be on the kitchen utensils and supplies. We like to cook and the pots/pans as well trays were limited. We made it work but think that a review of the inventory would be good. Plastic glasses and plate ware would be nice since we were going outside. But overall, we loved it and would book again.

We had a wonderful 1-week vacation at the Kaanapali Alii. The room was clean and the property is beautiful. The condo was nicely decorated and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view of the green hills as well as the ocean. The kitchen had everything we needed. We mentioned that the mattresses were not the most comfortable and the management company said they would look into it for future guests. This is the perfect location for a family with small children or teens. There are plenty of restaurants and stores in nearby Whaler's Village.
