“Great place for families and retirees”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

This is a great place for families with kids. Because of the timeshares there seemed to be a lot of active retirees as well. The beach out front was very disappointing but the pools were nice. We had a studio that over looked the kid pool with the pirate ship which was small but nice -- it was considered a beach view but I couldn't see the beach from the windows. The older part of the resort (northern buildings) seemed to get a lot more wind and had exterior walkways so it just seemed colder.

The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. I wasn't overly impressed with the pool and beach staff while nice, we had to go track them down when we wanted something. They were circulating as I would expect them to.

It is a nonsmoking hotel but it was obvious (because of the smell) that some people were smoking on the balconies, I mentioned it to the concierges desk but they seemed relunctant to act on it and the smoking continued for the duration of our visit.

The food was fine nothing exciting and very underseasoned but perhaps that was due to the clientel that might want fresh but rather bland food.

Had one of the best deep tissue massages of my life at the spa in the hotel....

Room Tip: Get a room in the south buildings they are newer and have access from an interior hallway.

“Outstanding for families!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013 via mobile

We were so impressed with our stay at the Westin Villas that we HAD to write a review! I try to do extensive research on each place we go (via trip advisor:) to try to make sure that we make the best choices for our family of 5 (kids ages 5-11) and this was a winner! Beautiful meticulous resort that was 99 percent full and still did not feel crowded! Ease of access to excellent quality beachfront, multiple pools, parking, gorgeous views. Never a far walk anywhere- a huge plus when hauling gear. Beachfront never crowded, had great reefs for snorkeling, great for kids boogie boarding, sand castle building, etc. optional scuba diving, paddle boarding available on site. Staff couldn't have been more attentive or professional. Kids club day camp option on site was a hit with our kids though would like to see more outdoor activities with each session. Pool with long slide occupied our kids as did tiki torch lighting ceremony in evening, watching constant whale breaches from beach, and routine koi fish feedings. We had a 2 bedroom villa (kids had their own deck, kitchen, jacuzzi bath, washer dryer - again amazing! ). On site restaurants were pricey so we started grilling for dinner and really enjoyed! We had a luxurious wonderful family time here and highly recommend!

“One week in Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

This was our second trip to Maui and stay at the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas. We loved the place even more than our first trip in 2012. the accommodations were just great, housekeeping most attentive, and front desk and concierge services top notch. We are already making plans to return in 2014.

Room Tip: First floor, one bedroom suite with lenai near pool is great. Noise was not a problem.

“Great Family Resort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Our family enjoyed our week stay at this property in April, 2012. The snorkeling right off the resort's beach was fantastic (we swam with turtles). We stayed in a one bedroom (2 queen beds) condo with a small galley kitchen. The 2 burner stove (no oven) was just adequate, but we really enjoyed using the gas grills in the building's common area. There were nice tables/chairs so we could eat outside. The location of this property is a plus, within walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf, but not in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the southern part of Ka'anapali Beach. The resort's complimentary shuttle service is very convenient and we used it several times during our stay. Finally, the pools and landscaping added to the overall "living in paradise" effect, if just for a short week!

Room Tip: Be careful about "ocean view" categories. Our room overlooked the adjacent public park par...

“First Trip To Hawaii”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

This resort and its employees are amazing. I had the most wonderful experience of hospitality ever in all my travels. The room was clean and well laid out. The conceirge service helped us plan our trip around the islands and we seen some historic and breath taking sights. You want a good Mai Tai ask Mosita at the pool side bar to make you one.
