Kaanapali Ocean Inn

Grt room-ocean frnt-hear ocean from room

Great room for the price. Not new but clean and the fact that it is so close to the water is a big plus++. I could hear the waves when in my bed. I really liked that. You will check in at the Royal Lahaina next door. This is the best part of the island of Maui. Very green and lush. The ocean is sandy here also. Enjoy!

Above Average for the $$ You Pay

I was in Maui to run the Maui Marathon. In these tough times, it was nice to have a property in the Kaanapali hotel area to offer reasonable rates to us travelers who're pinching pennies. The room was better than I expected and the service at the parent hotel next door was exceptional. The room keys were actual metal keys, but that was not a big deal. Food service was exceptional and will recommend others to this property again.

Outstanding

The hotel was fabulous for the price. It was all the conveniences that you needed with a small sink and refrigerator. Also, you get the benefits of staying in the large resort that it is attached to. Beachfront practically, you can walk to the end of the hotel and be on the beautiful beach in Maui. Make sure you check out the little restaurant by the hotel, the Castaway! It was fabulous. we would definitely come back again. Exceeded our expectations.

Great room for the money

Having read the reviews, I didn't expect a perfect room, but I was surprised that it was so convenient and quiet. On the day I arrived, early check-in was available and so the whole day was free to explore. I found the walks to the golf course and to the Whalers village very easy and pleasant. I managed without a car and saved money. I would recommend to people who want to spend time out and about rather than in the room.

needs improvement

The Ocean Inn is an older building in the resort and is badly in need of renovation. It's clean but showing it's age and n ot everything works right and the plumbing wastes a LOT of water. Also, they charge $10/day for parking, which I didn't know til I got there.

great room for money

The location cannot be better - it's right on the beach! We got a room in one of their cottages and it was very comfortable. This hotel has an outstanding relaxing atmosphere. For this price - I would stay there again and again!

Old & worn out

I guess this hotel is the forgotten "old maid" in Kaanapali. The location was beautiful but the hotel left a lot to be desired. The registration desk is at another hotel, but there were not any signs direxcting us to the desk. After wandering around the building for close to 45 minutes we finally asked a guest who was lounging on the beach where we could find the front desk. While the room was comfortable. it was old and worn out. The TV did not have a remote. The bathroom was disgusting. The shower was moldy and leaked and the toilet seat was cracked. While the place was cheap, We were very glad that we were only staying for one night.

Needs improvement

It was impossible to find check in desk. It was located in another hotel. We finally had to ask some other guests who were sitting on their balcony. Bedroom was very old but ok, TV did not have a remote. Bathroom was disgusting.

Leave your car...

As with any hotel, even those five star ones, if you rent a car... good luck trying to find parking on your own. Any hotel in the area has NO PARKING even if you are a guest. You have to park far (and pray that your car doesn't get broken into) lighting is scarce the further you go, and since most idiots can't park their own cars straight, you have to park farther to find a better spot to actually fit into.

meets expectations of price

We were initially disappointed that our room was already taken. However, the hotel graciously gave us an upgrade to a bungalow type room right in front of a pool and the beach........GREAT beach access from there!
