Part of the Royal Lahaina Resort, this is their cheaper accommodation, but I would choose it again over their more expensive accommodation. It is literally right next door and all the facilities of the resort are available to you. It is situated right on the beach and overlooking (if you're lucky) the royal lahaina luau (which is meant to be... More

My worst Maui hotel experience ever! Very old building looks as if it is slated for demolition soon. Bugs in the bath and kitchen area. Old mattresses (which they did give me a feather bed, which certainly helped). Pesticide and moth ball odors thruout (had to launder everything when I returned home). Paper thin walls, I knew everything my neighbors... More

We stayed at the Ka anapali Ocean Inn in January for 10 days. The rooms are dated, but there is nothing else that you could say against this old hotel. It is connected to the Royal Lahaina Hotel and so you can use their pool and the bar and the restaurants. The beach is one of the few that is... More

This is one of the cheapest hotels you will find in Ka'anapali, so you can't expect to get the high end class. We were upgraded to an ocean view room, which was very nice, but not surprisingly, was just near the party area, with a noisy employee party till late evening, the Saturday we arrived and needed the rest, and...

Yea its old, but you are right next to the waves. Staff will make any problem you have right so don't worry. We got the free upgrade to ocean front from ocean view just for asking when we checked in(Thanks whoever suggested that). We were on the top floor and there was a mechanical hum but the sound of the... More

My girlfriend and I are in our 40's and we have both travelled a lot. We booked a package at a very low price and I have to admit, I was a little worried about what we would find. We had the absolute best stay ever! The staff at the Royal Lahaina is second to none. they even upgraded us... More

The location is fabulous! right on the beach, north of all the overdevelopment of Kaanapali. The rooms are very 70's, but we had a mini fridge and bought a blender and were all set up! yes, the Luau was right outside, but only from 6-8 pm so not too disruptive, and some areas of the building were more worn than...

I was hesitant to go here after the negative reviews, but went anyway. It is an older hotel, but great location right on the beach (actually closer to the Ocean than most Kaanapali Beach hotels). There is no elevator, kitchen, etc and does need maintenance, but not in horrible condition. We could use the pool and towels for the next... More

The location is great! Right on the ocean, on the Royal Lahaina Resort property, but the Kaanapali Ocean Inn itself is pretty dumpy. There is no elevator, the rooms are dirty feeling due to the outdated linens & furnishings and the forest green carpet. The bathroom was useable but the shower/toilet combo area was small. The shower itself was just... More

We did a 4-nighter on a special. We had a beautiful room next to the ocean. However, it was also exactly where they hold parties. So, on the very night we really wanted quiet, there was a band on the grass right outside our room for 2+ hours. We talked to the manager about it, but of course, were told... More
