Royal Lahaina Resort - Maui Island

Everything was great about my stay at Royal Lahaina. The service was great, the rooms are comfy and the location is terrific. They have a great restaurant And they have a coffee shop with sandwiches nd icecream if you want a quick bite, along with a store that has snacks too. The luau was fun and the food was terrific. The beach is gorgeous and the […] hotel is walking distance from Whaler's Village for most people. Read more

Great place to stay. It is a more simple resort than others around it, because it doesn't have a large pool or a large garden, but it fit our needs perfectly. It was great because it is located slightly apart from other resorts, so the hotel itself and the beach out front were less crowded than other surrounding resorts. Bed and room were super comfortable. […] Would definitely stay here again. Read more

The rooms are really small, 3.5 star? More like a cheap motel, especially the bathroom, I have not seen a smaller bathroom, yes even comparing to cheap motels. Only decent part is the bed and downstairs lobby. The pizza restaurant attached is a steal though, the best pizzas I've ever had, and great scene, right on the beach.

Friendly hotel staff. Cleanliness of room and hotel. Food and drink prices seem a little high but that may be the norm for Maui. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and would stay here again.

I didn't get what I paid for. The room was like a motel and not like a resort.

I had made reservations months in advance for my wife, daughter and I. When we arrived they had put us in the hotel tower with a king bed. We had requested a cottage. We also added a person to our reservations when we got there ( which was suppose to be $35.00 extra per day, I did not have a problem with that). Long and short, we ended up waiting for […] 2 hours beyond the time they told us it would be ready and somehow with the extra and the "much nicer" room it was an extra $458.00. The room was big, but was older and had a fold out couch and day bed as the extra bed. As I sat in the lobby waiting it seems like a car sales job, trying to get everyone to upgrade. That part of our stay was disappointing. From that point on though the stay in Maui was nice. We found we really had no need for the pools though, as we swam in the beautiful ocean. Nice beach.

Great place. I would definitely stay again. The pools not the greatest, but we went to the beach every day.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is in a great location and has a wonderful beach. The property itself was wonderful and I would stay there again. We stayed in a 2 bedroom garden cottage and I would not stay in one of these units again. We chose this for the size and it was large and allowed our family of 5 to have plenty of room. They were clean but very old, run down, smelled […] funny as well as being very outdated. These units are expensive for what you get. We sprayed some Febreze and enjoyed our stay but if we go back I would book a room in the tower. Everyone at the resort was very friendly and helpful, the restaurant was good as well as the luau. Great place to stay I would just stay away from the garden cottages. Read more

Good location: great running/walking paths, walking distance to Whalers Village shopping. Beautiful grounds and beach. Friendly, not pretentious. Attracts quality guests. Hotel average, but nice. A bit worn down. Staff was friendly and responsive. No fitness facility. We upgraded room from old to undated. Pools just ok. We have older kids so pool wasn't […] an issue. The pools are not attractive for those with younger children. Restaurant just ok. Overall, good place for base location. Once we upgraded room, we didn't need anything else at hotel except the beach.

Everything about the hotel was well done. The property was well landscaped and maintained and the staff was friendly and helpful. Easy access to a beautiful beach was directly in front of the hotel. The hotel is located near downtown Lahaina but not so close as to be impacted by the typical downtown congestion.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I liked it the first time around so I did it again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We didn't get the cottage we requested and the "upgrade" was a room directly above the restaurant which was not ideal. Otherwise, the stay was very nice. The staff was amazing!

Unfortunately, this was not our best experience in Maui. We had a maintenance issue in our room - when we flushed the toilet something was coming up in the shower. We were not pleased with our outcome in this matter.

Hotel was close to places to visit. Great Ocean Front property with super beach and nice pools. Food was very good. Room decor was nice.only complaints ...no in room WiFi. Daily parking fee.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I loved staying here and I wish we could have stayed longer! Our cottage was right on the beach and we felt so relaxed. Also, I have to say that it was by far my favorite Mai Tai of the trip. The only negative is that the room was absolutely freezing without anyway of changing the thermostat. It wasn't too hot outside but for some reason the AC was […] on full blast and we weren't given any comforters. It was just one sheet on the bed so my sister and I weren't really able to sleep much. Also, I thought that the breakfast buffet was delicious but very overpriced. Read more

We stayed here for 3 nights to celebrate our 10th anniversary. I'd read the reviews which were mixed, and was a little unsure about what to expect. However, we had a great room on the 9th floor with a balcony and gorgeous ocean view. The room was clean and very nicely done with a tasteful, modern decor and was a nice size for two. The only strange thing […] was that the sink outside the bathroom looked like a kitchen sink, but it was the bathroom sink so our toothbrushes, etc had to be kept on the counter you see when you first walk in. The refrigerator wasn't very cold and couldn't be adjusted. Other than those two minor things, everything was wonderful and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I'd definitely stay here again if I needed to be near Ka'anapali. Read more

The hotel was clean and very comfortable. The only complaint was the building air pressure issues. The winds would rattle the balcony doors if they were closed, pushing in the glass panes. If the doors were open, you would hear a whine from the pressure difference between the room and the hallway.

Enjoyed our stay at the Roal Lahina. We were so glad we purchased the Valet service for $15.00 per day rather than walking a long way to get our car in the public lot. Valet service was excellent. Hotel was terrific!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not family friendly, at least with young children. Pools not for young children, The restaurant was not friendly. I had to ask if they had a children's menu. I had to ask to see a menu beforehand...not posted. Just an attitude of being bothered.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We arrived late in the evening and were staying for only one night. Without us even asking, we were given an upgrade to a full ocean view room on the 9th floor. It was gorgeous, and made the places we stayed the rest of our vacation disappointing by comparison. The only drawback, and it is not the hotel's fault, is that there is some sort of construction […] going on in the area (mid-February 2013) and so there is a strong constant smell of sewage in this general area.

Reason for not recommending this hotel - Overbooked at 110% and hospitality room not available for late night checkout. Our accommodations were not available upon arrival, ie Ocean View Tower Room (which we found to be the norm). Instead we were placed in a run down cottage room with no view, pretty frustrating start to our 20th anniversary trip! We […] were comped breakfast the next day and moved into our view room but a lot of time was wasted having to establish ourselves twice. Breakfast service was good but dinner service can be slow, I shouldn't have to wait around for a Mai-Tai! We found room service to be more efficient. Hotel promised baggage holding and hospitality rooms to cleanup before our night flight departure. Hotel stored bags as promised but when we returned to get ready to leave the hospitality rooms had been rented out again due to overbooking! Overall its not a bad place, but plan on flying home dirty if you have a late flight! Read more

We orginally booked a cottage at the Royal LaHaina Resort. When we arrived, we found that the air conditioner had black mold in it, and the whole inside of the cottage smelled really bad. We brought the issue up to hotel management, and they provided us with a room in the hotel itself. That room, which had been recently renovated, was very clean and […] well kept. I can recommend the hotel, but certainly not the cottage we had originally been booked into. Read more

We couldn't imagine a better experience in Maui! We stayed here for 9 days and nights. Good mattresses and pillows, something often missing in hotels these days, made for restful nights. The location was great for access to the beautiful beach and the nice town of Lahaina, which we enjoyed exploring. I would recommend the Royal Lahaina to everyone.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Lovely grounds and great staff. Waterfront bar is awsome. Favorite beach on Maui. I do have to say if you are noise sensitive you should stay in the north facing or water front view rooms. We stayed in the cottages. The air conditioners are loud. Even if you turn off, the main buildings ventilation system is on that site of the system so you can hear […] that. I will stay here again, but just not on the south side of the hotel. Read more

Friends recommended this hotel because they used it in the past. It is an older hotel with lots of charm. This year they are celebrating its 50th year in business. We decided to use it because its starting price was lower than many others starting price in the area. We checked in early morning and our regular room was not ready yet. But for "just a […] few dollars more" we could get a better view and a different room. It was worth every penny!! Our room was awesome, we had a corner room with a view of the beach and a view of the mountains. Our balcony window opened up so far it felt like we were outside. It also had a wonderful master bathroom and very nice TV room Read more

I cannot speak to the benefits of the actual hotel because we stayed in one of the cottages. The hotel and staff were very friendly and pleasant, the overall outside grounds seemed to be well kept and beautiful. The room was dreadful! The showers were old, dark, the tiles were cracked and broken. You could not regulate the water temperature to stay […] hot or cold. So if your neighbor flushes their toilet you best be quick to jump out! The doors on the closet were falling off. There were no fixtures on the over head lights. The sliding glass doors were broken, the beds were broken. There was caulk around the trim that was a half inch thick and the room itself was rickety and dark. You would be lucky to get a towel everyday and no wash cloths or hand towels. We had to call to have them delivered. They were however painting the cottage down from us and it looked as thought they were working on improvements outside my hope is that they would make the same improvements on the inside. This is one of the older properties to my understating. The pictures that are on the website were great in person not so great. On this one if staying in the cottage best check if they have improved them before you book your stay. Read more

Overall a great hotel on a nice beach that isn't too crowded. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Downtown is a short bus ride away if you don't have a rental car. Hotel is older and rooms do show a little wear and tear but overall a good experience. We always had a random assortment of towels in our room. Never the same amount or size […] so many times had to call for more. We found it extremely annoying that when we needed pool towels we were given brochures and tried to sell tours by the hotel employees before we were given the towels. Read more

Lovely hotel and the employees were very nice and welcoming. The hotel room was too warm even though I set the thermostat on 65%. They even had someone come up to clean the filter. But, I believe that the air goes off automatically when you open a door or after you go to sleep. I got a fan sent to my room and then I was fine. The swimming pools were […] not heated and too cold to swim in. I jumped in and thought I was dying of hyperthermia. The ocean was much warmer than the pool The hot tub at the hotel was not near the pools but across the street at the tennis courts. I found that odd. The food was great for breakfast enjoyed the buffet. No room service after a certain time, we got in late and I had to go to safeway to get something to eat. Nice experience. Read more

This was our second year to stay here. The hotel is beautiful in that it has maintained the old hawaiian feel. It does not have that resort feel that most have on Kaanapali beach. We requested 1226 and it was given to us upon arrival. The room was very clean and the staff was very polite and attentive to our needs. If you can, request the deluxe ocean […] view (north side of hotel). The views are awesome!!! Read more

My only gripe was no free wifi. A deal breaker in the future. The wifi service I could have ordered was very expensive. Everywhere I have stayed in the past had free wifi. I felt it was a bit cheap not to offer that. Other way's, I would go back.

The beachfront rooms are really aged and really overpriced, avoid them.

From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel at home, They were very professional, friendly and helpful during our entire stay. The meals were excelent though a little spendy. The luau was the finest I have seen in Hawii and the entertainment awesome. Our room in the tower provided us with a beautifull view of Lani and Molaki and the experience […] of having our morning coffee and being entertainned by the whales was a plus.The decore was Hawaian and not marbel and stone to which you normally see stateside, Our stay was a 10+.

I loved staying at the Royal Lahaina this month. We stayed there last year just for one night after missing our flight and having to stay another day. I found I liked this hotel better than the one we stayed in for the past 7 days. It has 2 pools, one a deep water one going up to 8 feet (a plus for me because I like to dive), the restaurant is poolside […] as well as a 2nd pool side bar by the other pool, lounge chairs are spaced on the grassy area surrounding the pool, and the beach is just through the hedges. You have a clear view of Molakai and Lanai and if you don't like stepping all over coral when you go into the ocean, the hotel sits on about a 1/2 mile of pure white sand beach (no water shoes required). The staff was friendly and accomodating, giving me extra lotions when I asked (b/c you always run out of lotion before the accompanying body wash). Will stay there again. Read more

We were very happy with our choice of hotels. I read all of the reviews of the Royal Lahaina for most of a year and I was a little worried based on a few of the reviews. After spending a week at this hotel I really don't understand the complaints. One of the most frequent complaints was about parking during the luau but that was never a problem. It […] was crowded but we were always able to find a spot and if for some reason you can't one night when you go there you can always pay an extra $5 and have the valet park your car. There were also some complaints about unfriendly staff but we don't agree entirely. While some of them were maybe a little more subdued none were what we would call unfriendly. The beach is beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and the view from our partial ocean view room was incredible. Read more
