"We love the Maui Kaanapali Villas! It is quiet (very important to us), right on the beach--you walk out your door and you are steps from the water, the convenience of condo living with the combination of an onsite restaurant when we need it. The morning coffee service is lovely as well."

"Very happy with the location - it was larger than expected and as convenient as we recalled. The room was larger than we expected and we had the loft! Expected a king and 2 twin bedroom and ended up with a king and queen bdrm plus the sofa bed and a loft with a queen and 2 twin. Could have slept 10 - a pleasant surprise. Only request would be to have the king bed replaced and air conditioning in the loft!"

"I liked how this was on the beach. I felt safe here. The only reason why I don’t give it five stars is because the waves at this beach were to strong for me. I did like the fact that housekeeping doesn’t come every day so I didn’t feel the pressure to have to be up by a certain time."
