Kaanapali Alii

Kaanapali Alii is an incredible place to stay. The location is perfect, right on the beach and walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The units are spacious, well maintained, and feel more like a home than a hotel. The grounds are beautiful, the pool area is relaxed and never felt crowded, and the staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. It’s quiet, comfortable, and exactly what you want after a full day on the island. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Kaanapali Ali was the perfect location for our vacation. We originally looked at staying near Wailea but took a chance at Alii despite it being located further from the airport and in a busier area along Kaanapali beach. But, it turned out the location was ideal, with so many great oceanside restaurants, bars, coffee shops and shopping (at Whalers Village) meant we could walk everywhere when we didn’t want to take our car out. It’s also close to, and easy access (30 minutes) to Maalea harbour for whale watching (although alternate tours can be booked right from the beach) and to grocery shopping at Safeway. |The staff were exceptional, the pool area was a bit small but very nice and we felt completely safe during our stay. Our two bedroom condo was well equipped, clean and well furnished.

Stayed here 6 nights with family. It’s clean, but it’s $250 a pop if you want them to do any cleaning during your stay. They were doing construction the day we came, so getting in the building was confusing. A staff member asked us if they could valet our cars and then the men who brought up our belongings chastised us for leaving our vehicles in the loading area and said they don’t valet. They were doing construction another day of the trip, so the entire pool area was inundated with the sounds of stone cutting/chainsaw. The appliances looked new but were odd. The washer made a horrendous noise for an hour after every run to “vent”. The fitness center was clean and well stalked. The kitchen had all your basics. The view was phenomenal. Not nearly as many amenities/events as neighboring p

We booked Unit 471 specifically for a November snorkeling trip, and it exceeded every expectation. The location is unbeatable—we literally walked 10 minutes from our condo to the sand where the Teralani catamarans load. No driving to the harbor, no parking stress, just wake up, have coffee on the lanai, and go.||We also had the chance to watch game 7 of the world series on the giant TV by the pool with fans from around the world. It was a once in a lifetime experience. ||The unit itself is stunning. We loved having the full kitchen to make breakfast before our morning tours. But the highlight was sitting on the private lanai at sunset! If you're coming for whale season, this is the absolute best place to stay. We’ve already booked our return trip.

Great location. Kaanapali Aii is a great place to stay with family or friends. Luxurious and accommodating. Impeccable, and very well maintained resort. Friendly and helpful staff. Steps from the beach and Whalers village. It offers premium amenities and service. A total gem.
