“Very comfortable great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

My family of 4 with two children (11 and 13) spent 5 nights in Feb 2013. Everything about the stay was wonderful. Great rooms, great service, great location. We were in building 4 on the second floor in unit 424. Though our ocean view was mostly blocked by the pool house, it was still very nice. The condo and room furnishings were all top notch. We cooked several meals and had all the kitchen tools and utensils we needed. Would highly recommend Kaanapali Alii if you are looking for a condo as opposed to a hotel room. We would go back again in a heartbeat.

Room Tip: Ocean view rooms above the 3rd floor will not have the view obstructed by the pool house.

“The Best place you stay on Kaanapoli Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013 via mobile

We really enjoyed our stay at Kaanapoli Alii. We stayed there nine years ago and it has not changed. The staff gets you to your condo in record time. Everyone is really helpful. Wish we could have stayed a lot longer.

“Perfect Location, Best Property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Ka'anapali is a great place to go and just relax so our family has been several times. However this is the first time we have stayed at the Alii and we will never stay somewhere else again. We actually ended up here by accident. We were supposed to stay at the Whalers but when we checked in, they did not have the type of unit we had reserved. So our travel agent was able to move us to the Alii instead and boy were we lucky. Our 2 bedroom/2 bath with a Den was on the 11th floor with a full view of the ocean. Amazingly well appointed, gorgeous kitchen, great deck and the den had a queen sized Murphy bed so we all ended up with our own private space (den could be completely closed off). The pools and common areas are perfect, great beach in front of the property (surfed, boarded and snorkeled numerous days), and we cooked most meals in using the high end grills out by the pool. Actually cooking at the grills was one of the highlights of the trip as it's almost like a cocktail hour by the pool - meeting other folks staying there and share fun stories. Overall we could not have enjoyed the property more and look forward to our next trip soon!

Room Tip: We were in tower 3, 11th floor, south side - great views of the ocean and mountains unobstructed and...

“Wonderful condo hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

If you want the option of having a place where you can feel like you are at home (in paradise!) then try this hotel. You can get daily maid service (for an extra fee) or take care of things yourself. The rooms are spacious enough that you could truly live here. We had a one bedroom unit that also had a den with a queen bed in it and two bathrooms plus dining area, full kitchen, living room and washer/dryer. Everything that would make our two week stay comfortable. They have a great bar b que area with eating area overlooking the beach for fantastic sunsets!
The lanais are a great size with tables and usually six chairs.
While there is no restaurant on site, there are many that are very close.

Room Tip: I'd the ocean view is important to you, then don't settle for a partial ocean view category...

“A home away from home!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

We've had the pleasure of staying at this lovely condo on two occasions. Our first time, a few years ago, we enjoyed a great view and an average room. On our most recent visit, the view was less spectacular but the layout of the unit and the amenities were outstanding! The location is perfect - right on Kaanapali beach with quick access to shops, restaurants, and other resorts. This part of the beach is a little less crowded, so didn't feel like we were overwhelmed with people. We enjoy having the space to make ourselves at home. With 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a washer/dryer, our "home" was spacious, well-appointed, and clean! The reviews say it's expensive but worth it - TOTALLY agree!
