We just got back from our trip to Maui and absolutely loved the KBH. The location is FANTASTIC. Sure, the decor could use some "sprucing up", but who cares, really? It's not like we spent that much time in our room, though we did have a gorgeous view in our partial oceanview room. The beach is beautiful and uncrowded. There's so much to do just walking distance away. We'll definitely return to the KBH, hopefully very soon!

We just got back from 5 nights at the KBH. Sorry if this review is a bit long, but they deserve it!!

There were four of us, including my son, 17 and daughter, 15. We had an ocean view room with two double beds.

The room was spacious enough to give us all room and the lanai overlooked the spacious courtyard to a view of the beach and ocean. At night, the sun would set in the distance, the courtyard tiki torches would be glowing and we would be serenaded by the nightly Hawaiian hula and music show at the Tiki Bar.

If you walk up and down the beach, you will see many hotels with fancy pools and a sea of lounge chairs and a small strip of sand.

At the KBH, there's a small pool and a very large courtyard and easy access to a large beach area. The green space creates a great setting.

We had dinner at the Tiki Terrace restaurant and it may have been the best meal we had in Hawaii.

We took advantage of the free Hawaiian activities, including lei making, sandprints and pineapple cutting.

It's rare to stay at a hotel and have them greet you and call you by name as you walk through.

There was an orientation breakfast that was enjoyable and funny as much as it was informative. I recommend making sure to go to it.

The staff makes sure the Hawaiian heritage comes through in everything. At the end of the stay, there's a farewell ceremony when they present you with a lei and a hug. You're welcomed back as extended Ohana (family) and you feel that way.

We saw many hotels on Maui, including the ones up and down Ka'anapali Beach, and this one doesn't have the flash, but it has the class.

When we left, both my son and daughter remarked that they would never want to stay at another place. That's high praise from a couple of teenagers!!!

Don't be afraid to book it, take advantage of everything they have to offer, and have a great Hawaiian experience.

We have stayed at the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel the last 3 years in a row. Everytime we go back, it's like going home. The people who work there are friendly, sincere, and the atmosphere is laid back unlike the other chain hotels on the beach. There are complimentary Hawaiian activities, and hula shows with music every night. Their section of the beach is the best on Ka'anapali. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a nice Hawaiian feel, with a nightly turn-down service. They really make you feel like a part of their family, especially with their good-bye ceremony. They also have the best Pina Coladas and Lava Flows on the beach!! So if you're looking for a real Hawaiian vacation, this is the place!
