What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 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.

Guests love Napili Shores for its setting right on beautiful Napili Bay. Reviews rave about ocean and sunset views, whale and turtle sightings, and the easy walk to snorkel-friendly Napili and Kapalua bays. The vibe is laid-back “old Hawaii,” quieter than high‑rise resort areas, with two pools, a hot tub, BBQs, tropical lawns, and a handy on‑site surf shop. Having The Gazebo (beloved breakfast/lunch spot) and Kitchen 5315 on the property adds convenience, and parking is generally easy.

Condos are individually owned, and many feel newly remodeled, very clean, and well stocked for cooking and beach days (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkel gear). A/C (often mini‑split units), comfy beds, and responsive hosts/managers are frequently praised, making it popular with couples and families—many are repeat visitors. That said, quality can vary by unit: a handful feel dated or need minor TLC, some beds (especially Murphy or older mattresses) divide opinion, and a few bedrooms back toward parking or the pool where sound carries. Most guests recommend enjoying meals on the lanai, timing Gazebo visits off‑peak or ordering takeout, and taking advantage of the grills and the coastal trail.

Common friction points are more about resort norms than deal‑breakers: “starter” supplies only (limited TP, paper towels, soap), fewer towels than some expect, and no mid‑stay refresh unless you do shared laundry. Check‑in can be firm at 4 pm, front desk hours are limited, and there’s typically a separate registration/resort fee; some thermostats cap how cool the A/C can go. Noise can be noticeable near the pools, hot tub, parking, or along the busy walkway to The Gazebo; tropical pests occasionally appear; and at times there’s maintenance work or temporary changes to beach access/stairs and propane for grills. To set yourself up for a great stay, book a recently updated unit that suits your priorities (oceanfront for waves-and-views vs. garden/poolside for convenience), confirm A/C and bed type, plan to grab a few basic groceries (salt/pepper/oil, extra TP), and hit The Gazebo early or order to‑go.

Recent Napili Shores Reviews


Great location with nice grounds and shuffleboard. Nice folks in the office. Place was clean and bed comfy. Nothing but salt and pepper and some cooking oil spray, so you'll have to buy your own spices if you plan to cook a lot, but that's okay. Appreciated the extra paper towels, TP, dish soap, and laundry pods. We'd stay there again.

We have stayed at Napili Shores several times, and this unit was by far our favorite. The decor and upgrades installed in the unit made this the perfect home for my husband and I for the 8 days we were visiting Maui. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and the property management was extremely accommodating in allowing us to check in a bit early once the unit was ready. We liked being on the ground floor with such close access to the pool! We will definitely return on our next visit.

Very clean condo, AMAZING views from the Lanai… Would stay there again.

July 2026

This property, location, accommodations, literally has everything and anything one could ask for. Gorgeous grounds, two restaurants on site and nearby the Sea House. A walk-in-warm pool, hot tub that serves as the local hangout to meet others, top notch beach only a 5 minute walk away, turtles galore in a bay right next door also a 5 minute away, rental store on site for all beach activities, but most condos provide all the chairs snorkel, fins and floaties for kids you could need. Great stores nearby within a 5-10 minute drive: Lahaina, Whaler's Village, Black Rock, Kapalua world class golf, Kanapali. Location, Location, Location.

Great unit stocked with all you need for cooking and enjoying meals on the patio. The view from the patio made us feel like we had the whole place to ourselves most mornings and nights. Two pull out beds made it extra nice for the kids. Bathroom was well done also. Kind and quick communication with host as well !

The condo was clean, well stocked and had all of the amenities we needed for the week. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We absolutely loved the location as it was within walking distance to the beach and 2 amazing snorkeling spots, as well as the wonderful view from the lanai. It was so nice that there were beach chairs and an umbrella for us to use on the beach. It was so convenient to be able to walk to a couple of nice restaurants and snorkel gear rental shops in the area and it was just a short drive to many others.

Lovely little studio with a Murphy bed and everything you need to make your visit comfortable. The complex is beautiful with flowering trees and bushes, birds and bright green geckos completing the tropical setting. The 2 pools are nice, as is the view of Molokai. We loved visiting Napili Bay 12 years ago but it was very crowded this time. Lots of rain for July but really, who can complain in Maui?

We have stayed at this property many times and this particular unit twice.Simply cannot beat the location, overall property and value.Napili and the surrounding area are simply a different side of Maui in so many ways and this property is a great place to call home for a while.

What a gem! A201 has an amazing view of the ocean and is easy to navigate to. Anne and Ken provided everything needed for our stay. The condo was perfect for our trip! Clean and very well maintained! The pools onsite were both excellent. Sitting on the balcony listening to the waves was an excellent way to end our evening. Laundry onsite as well as a full kitchen which was very helpful for our stay. Restaurants nearby were plenty. Please visit The Gazebo which is located within steps of this incredible condo! What a blessing to have found this beautiful place to stay on an amazing island. Thank you for sharing your condo with us while we explored this amazing island.

We had an amazing time staying in Evelyn’s property for our time in Napili Bay. She was an excellent host and was very responsive to all our questions and needs while we were there. Even before our trip she went above and beyond by purchasing a pack and play for the unit, which made traveling with our 1 year old so much easier. The unit was very clean and well situated. There are a handful of great food options within walking distance any many more a quick drive away. We would absolutely stay in Evelyns place again if we ever return. Thanks again for being an amazing host!

Can’t beat the view! Turn off the air-conditioning and open the sliding glass door and sleep, listening to the waves crash on the rocks at Napili. There’s nothing better :-)

It was our first time in Maui and we fell in love instantly. Our extended family stayed in other condos around the property and kept saying “you have ___ in yours?!” Because it truly has everything you need. It is beautifully redone and was perfect for our family of 4. We were so blessed to call it home for a week. We would 100% stay here again next time! We contacted the host about AC making noise and they were so prompt at responding and getting someone out to look at it. We had the absolute best time. No notes! Sorry about the sand… we tried our best

We had a great stay with our family of 4. The place felt private but walkable to the beach and the Gazebo which was amazing. Having access to beach chairs and umbrella was a huge perk! We would definitely stay there again!

We absolutely loved this property! This was our first time to Maui. After much research of the cities and areas to stay, we selected Napili Shores resort. We didn’t want to be around thousands of tourists in large hotels. We wanted something more laid back and intimate. Napili Shores resort is exactly that. The location is superb! The condo was equipped with all the things needed to have a good stay. We did have air conditioning. The inside was beautiful and the bed and pillows were comfortable. There were beach chairs and umbrella which we used every day. The bay is stunning with lots of great snorkeling and turtles. We did not know about the famous “Gazebo” on property which was delicious. The hack is to order take out and it gets cooked in an out 10 minutes instead of waiting 1 1/2 hours or longer in line. The Sea Gouse restaurant at the other end of the bay is also wonderful. It’s a short drive to so much more shopping and dining. We will definitely come again!

Very clean condo. Very pleasantly decorated as well; peaceful & aesthetic…felt like “home” in Hawaii. Description was accurate; we specifically rented this condo because it had two separate pullout couches in the living room so each of my teenagers could have their own bed. Just enough space for our family of four to enjoy Maui for 10 days. Little peak of the ocean from the balcony but just a quick stroll to the chairs by the back pool to sit and watch the sun set over the ocean each night. Paradise. Condo is also in a great location within the development; a quiet area & easy access to pools, grills, laundry, & front desk. Condo was very clean and had everything we needed, including a steamer to get the wrinkles out of our clothes, extra towels, and beach chairs. Owner has a beach umbrella too, but we easily rented a much bigger one for the week from the surf shop adjacent to the front lobby; price there was very fair. Naplili Shores grounds was lush with plenty of grassy areas, beautiful plumeria and hibiscus everywhere; grounds very clean and very well kept. Both pools also very clean and very well kept. Very easy, very short (2-3 min), and very well marked walk to the beach at beautiful Napili Bay. Food at Gazebo restaurant was very good; we tried both breakfast and lunch options; we did takeout due to long lines & simply ate on our balcony. Finally, condo owner responded quickly to my messages & was a pleasant host to rent from.

When we’re in Maui we always check out Napili Shores before others. Really appreciate owners sharing their condos. Special spot, ground floor (ocean view). Our favorite location as it’s on the end & very private. Perfect for two. If you’ve never been this is a pretty quiet family feel kind of resort. (Less kids in this building usually).Second time in this unit.Friendly & just right. Very close access to sandy Napili Bay; walk to many food options. Walkable to Kapalua Bay. Our favorite thing to do was walking the Coastal Trail all the way through to the bottom of the Ritz Carlton & then visiting the Baya Bowl truck @ DT Fleming park. Highly recommend. Thank you again for a great stay!

Overall, this was a great spot, and if we stay at Napili Shores again, we'll definitely search this one out. The view and location was perfect, and the property is beautiful, calm, and inviting. My only complaints were one particular to the property and one that is probably an issue with a lot of condo rentals. First, this condo is advertised as sleeping five people. In order for us to do that, we literally had to take some furniture out of the living space area and put it in the bedroom closet. In my opinion, there is way too much furniture in the living area for the amount of space provided and for the number of people it's advertised to house. Second, I find it irritiating whenever condos don't have an abundance of cleaning supplies (like dishwasher soap and paper towels) for renters to keep their properties to certain cleanliness level. If you're not going to have a regular cleaning service throughout the renter's stay (which would be too expensive), the owner should supply what is needed to clean up after cooking.

The condo was a great size and very open. Can easily accommodate 3 adult guests. It was nice to have some spices for cooking and BBQing w. Just steps from the pool and a view of the Koi pond

Very comfortable, well maintained clean studio flat with spectacular views of the ocean and Napili Shores Beach. Large space and well equipped for cooking. Lots of towels and beach equipment. Bed linens were really nice. We used the pools and spa every day. Condominium grounds were landscaped and gardens were very pretty. We walked to Seahouse, Merrimans and the restaurant at Kapalua Bay. Happy hour at the Ritz is great and only a few minutes by taxi. Coffee at island vibes was good! It’s close by and they had breakfast and lunch options as well and a gift shop with quality gifts. Elaine our host was great. Very quick to respond and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

Love the view! Just can’t get a better view of the ocean, Molokai in the distance, & the coconut trees! Napili Bay is right by there for snorkeling and Honokeana Cove also which we saw over a dozen turtles! We did a lot of cooking and there was everything we needed for that. We just picked up a few spices. We would love love to stay there again!

This is a beautiful condo with everything you’ll need for a special time in a spectacular location. Just a short walk to Napili Bay and the beautiful beach. We plan on trying to stay in this exact same unit next time we visit which hopefully will not be long in coming.

Overall it was a great stay! Easy communication and very clean! One thing that was misleading was the pictures said king-sized bed but the bed was actually a queen-sized bed. Wish the descriptions of the bed were consistent throughout the listing.

After several days at a nearby resort, our stay here was exactly what we were hoping for. Quaint, quiet, less crowded, and old Hawaii charm. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The grounds were beautiful and we loved being able to walk to Napili and Kapalua Bay. The we worst part was having to leave. We will definitely stay here again!

We always love and enjoy our stays at Napili Shores. This is our 1st time booking a room with an ocean front view and it was a wonderful. The room was clean and had a nice beachy feel to it. We always opt for the 2nd floor units with the vaulted ceilings. Really opens up the room. The kitchen came with everything you would need. It was nice to have storage containers for leftovers. Just note that generic salt and pepper are your only seasoning options. Our previous garden view condo had a better assortment. We did go buy some grindable sea salt and pepper and hopefully they leave in unit for others to enjoy. Also note that the coffee maker does not have an auto turnoff feature. Figured that out the 1st day when we came back to burned coffee smell. Being able to sit on the Lanai and watching the sunset, while eating our dinner, made for a romantic setting. Hearing the ocean waves was definitely nice, but, for me quite loud at night, especially when the wind has picked up. I also notice the lack of birds singing at 5:30-6am. Something, I really enjoyed on our previous stays in the garden view rooms. Always a joy to wake up to, as the sun is coming up. The only thing we were disappointed about, and why I took off a star, was the bed. I think it was the poly mix sheets that took away from the comfort. They didn't seem to fit the bed right, as they were loose and would bunch up. My wife definitely didn't enjoy the feel of them. But overall we loved our stay in this room.
