Kaanapali Shores

Kaanapali Shores is an older, mid-size beachfront resort where condo guests share two pools, hot tubs and a poolside bar with hotel guests, with a grocery store and food truck park steps away. It suits families and repeat visitors who want easy pool-and-beach days more than polish.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Two pools and a beach bar. A lively garden pool for kids and a calmer oceanside pool by the restaurant and bar, where guests praise the mai tais, happy hour and live music.
  • Groceries and food trucks next door. A supermarket sits across the street and a food truck park is right next door, so cooking in or grabbing dinner on foot is easy.
  • Ground floor, straight outside. Ground-floor units open from the lanai onto the lawn, pools and beach - families with small kids and guests traveling with older parents love it.
  • Whales from the lanai. In winter many guests watched whales from their balconies over morning coffee, and some spotted turtles right off the resort's beach.

Worth knowing

  • The beach out front is small. Some guests found the beach narrow with rocks in the water, better for looking than swimming; wider sand is a short walk away and others snorkeled happily.
  • Condo guests aren't hotel guests. A few reviews say front desk and bell staff wouldn't lend luggage carts or help rental guests, and parking and the gym cost extra per day.
  • Parking-lot side hears trucks. Units over the parking lot and delivery area pick up truck noise during the day, and loud birds in the trees wake some guests at dawn.
  • Roaches turn up. Guests in several different units reported cockroaches despite traps and pest control - one reviewer traced them to the garbage chutes.
Choosing a unit: Ground-floor units by the lawn are the favorite for walking straight out to the pools and beach, and guests on upper floors love the views over the courtyard and ocean. Rooms on the parking-lot side sit over a delivery area, so guests suggest booking closer to the water.

Excellent location. We loved views from the sixth floor overseeing the property and ocean. Condo was very clean and nicely stocked. We had a wonderful stay.

The property was in a good location if you like being away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist area as the pools were not overcrowded. Thomas' studio was amazing with all the little details and amenities most hosts don't consider. My wife was very impressed with the thoughtfulness included with the brochure created. Thomas was an excellent communicator and made sure our stay was top notch We stayed here as part of our 40th anniversary year and would stay again.Dave and CheryleJuly 26

This condo was great, especially for the price, and we would definitely book it again. First of all, KBM is very easy to work with and very accommodating. They always answer the phone which is rare these days. When asked, they upgraded our free car to a luxury SUV easily for a small fee. Our only negative was when we arrived at noon we called and asked that they let us know if the room was ready early. Well, the room wasn’t ready and we sat outside the door of the condo for over an hour. At 4:25 we finally asked the cleaning crew if we could just sit on the sofa and wait in the AC because we were so exhausted from travel and hot. They were reluctant but let us. The condo was very comfortable and has a nice view. The location is great! You can easily walk down to your car or the beach within a minute or two. The balcony has boogie boards and beach chairs that we used so you don’t have to rent. I do wish the bedroom windows opened so we could have slept hearing the ocean waves. This complex is great! Restaurant is good, gym is good, not just a room with a treadmill, and shops are cute. The grounds are beautiful. The food trucks are a 5 minute walk and the grocery store is across the street. The beach in front of the resort are really nice to just float and hang out. You won’t be disappointed with Kaanapali Shores.

Nice view! Condo was cute and comfortable! Had everything we needed! Only negative was closet with all the beach equipment had sand in and on the equipment probably left by last guests! I took an hour and cleaned it! Don’t know if the cleaning was supposed to have handled it! Didn’t spoil our great time by any means! The beach and pool were so enjoyable!!!

The View was obviously fantastic. Getting in and out of the room was extremely easy. The only thing we had trouble with was getting in and out of the gate with the scan code. And the TV was a bit hard too navigate. But the room was just perfect for us and the beds were very comfortable we weren't happy with the two twins being pushed together in the other room

I have been coming to Kaanapali Shores since I was a kid, so I have stayed in a LOT of units. This was our 2nd stay in this condo, and it never disappoints. The 8th floor view is absolutely amazing, overlooking the entire property and ocean. The interior is beautiful and comfortable for a family of four. Lisa is a joy to work with and truly cares that you have a great stay.

Mostly one-bedrooms, many with two baths, steps from Sugar Beach. An oceanfront lawn has loungers, umbrellas and gas grills, and a small pool overlooks the ocean. Book ocean-facing to escape road noise; the water suits long walks more than snorkeling.
