"The beach itself wasn’t too busy either. We came in April and the waves could get a little strong but we were still able to get out and snorkel around Black Rock. Plenty of turtles and other sea life to see."

"The beach is by far worth staying at the property for! Walk out to snorkel and relax ashore the gorgeous beach. Body surf, snorkel, swim and boogie board steps from the hotel room!"

"We were located on the 9th floor directly over the beach, oceanfront. We spent every sunrise/sunset watching the waves turtles and dolphins. We even saw 2 whales, early for the season."

"The sand is sparkly and soft and the water is clear and had the perfect temperature at the time. I’m more of a pool person overall, but I’d choose this beach any day over any pool I’ve been to."

"Whaler's Village right next door offers all the shopping needs for a family vacation. Soft sand beach, big waves for body surfing and boogie boards. Good surf break just down the beach."

"Constant whale watching from spacious balcony or through the floor to ceiling windows was the reason we stayed here - so happy we did! Best ocean front location on Ka’anapali Beach in my opinion."

"The view is overlooking airport beach. This beach is beautiful and has fewer visitors than the beaches south of black rock. We saw huge turtles while swimming at this beach."

"Beach is adequate for sun and wading but no snorkeling at this location. View is spectacular of the ocean; fun to watch boats; variety of types of rooms which are adequate for stay."

"Even though the beach was not accessible we found plenty of opportunities to snorkel and enjoy the water. The oceanfront walkway made it easy to access restaurants and bars."

"This is a great base to walk around Lahaina and a short drive to explore beaches and resort areas north of Lahaina."

"Waves crashing just a few feet in front of you; Molokai 7 miles away and in January the whales are going by constantly!! Napili Bay invites you to swim, snorkel, paddle board or just sit and relax."

"Our stunning room offered views of the ocean and one favorite past time was spotting whales from our hotel room. We enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in pristine Kapalua Bay (with turtles) and hiking the nearby trails."

"We signed up for the free photo sitting right at the property and got some beautiful family photos on the beach. We walked along the beach every morning, down to the Sheraton and back."

"I got into the line daily at 730 and always had 8 chairs and 2 umbrellas daily at the beach. the beach gentlemen....OMG what was his name FABULOUS always worked so hard and never a bad word."

"The spot where you can walk down to the very small beach, is very awkward and you have to walk on these ridiculous sandbags. The hotel should figure out and make a pleasant, safe way to get to the beach."

"Napili Bay is perfect for both swimming and snorkeling. And it is right next door to Kapalua Bay (a 5 minute walk) which also has excellent snorkeling! We had an oceanfront one bedroom suite."

"You have a beautiful view of the ocean and 2 neighboring islands from the balcony. You could walk down to a small area of sand right in front of the resort and down to the right."

"I wouldn’t want to stay any other place than on Napili Bay and The Mauian sits in the perfect spot. We don’t spend much time inside our accommodations, but thoroughly enjoy that our favorite beach is steps away."

"They will inflate toys for you but they are supposed to remain in the ocean and not be used in the pool. We stayed in a two bedroom - ocean front and it was probably more space than we needed (family of 4)."

"Other pluses: I saw a whale from the beach, a truly delightful sight to behold as it jumped in the air. We also came across lots of sea turtles and this napping monk seal on the beach."

"The beach is not far from any unit, which is so nice, smaller resort but not busy feeling at all we loved that! Pools were busy but we never used them we like the beaches! The beach is small but nice."

"Our room had a huge lanai (balcony) with an amazing ocean view looking out at the islands of Lanai and Molokai. The walk along the oceanfront to Whalers Village gave us easy access to shopping and restaurants."

"I believe all the one bedrooms are oceanfront corner units. The studios ending with numbers 03 through 08 are also oceanfront with a Murphy bed. Units ending in 01 and 02 have an ocean view."

"Not enough to surf, but maybe a bit much for inexperienced swimmers . snorkeling was possible a hundred yards off shore. Some coral and some tropical fish and eels and turtles."

"The public beach was just a four minute walk away as were restaurants and stores. A other reviews have noted the place was not air conditioned but the sea breezes kept it comfortable."

"It is ocean front which is a must for us and is generally more reasonably priced for a one bedroom unit ocean front. Even many bedrooms are ocean front and what a view to wake up to."

"-room is dated and badly in need of a makeover sometime soon -Beach is sooo beautiful, but it's so windy that the sand blows in your eyes. we couldn't hang out at the beach, so strange."

"the location is perfect, right in the heart of lahaina and the beach is literally your backyard. there are surf boards, SUPs, snorkel equipment and bikes to use for free as well."

"I will say the beach is literally seconds from the hostel which is awesome...But it also means, that you can hear all the beach parties at night, which according to locals, happens quite often."

"The ocean part of the view was over the restaurant."
