Kahana Beach Resort

Beyond our expectations- currently under renovations which are definitely needed, but you can't beat the beach front location. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. The amenities include a fulle equiped kitchen and towel service, which makes the Kahana beach resort a more affordable and family friendly travel option. Highly recommended.

OMG!!! Wonderful lil hotel on MAUI, LAHAINA NOT OLD LAHAINA THAT AREA AT THIS DATE 12/2023 is blocked from the public and is being restored. This is just a little past that resort area...still resortish. Such a little Gem. Very comfortable spacious privet room, looking smack out into the beautiful ocean from your queen bed dining area and balcony. . There's also a hidabed that appears to be a queen. This room looks very nice and clean. The shower and such are sufficient plenty of electrical plugins. . I must say it's sad that there has been so much loss in Lahaina. However there are plenty of businesses and restaurants and ABC store all the usual still seem to be available. . Fine dining , it's all around here. We aren't using a car, we just Ubering..looking for a local church and Ukulele. Store. .found a native Hawaiian Mike who sells them, lost his business burnt to ground. Going to show some support to this community in some small way. I hope all you will too. By the way...it is 74°-89° with a constant breeze to wind some sprinkles then sun. December is beautiful here. Reminds me of Alameda Calif.only more chill.

Never have I felt so unwelcome in any place before. I witnessed screaming matches with staff and customers. Pool, Beach access, and lounges were all prohibited for no reason. You actually had to walk on the street to get the the beach. This is because they wouldn't let you sit or lay out in their chairs or walk through the back to get to the beach. I have travelled a good bit, I will never go back to Hawaii again because of this place, and my experience. They completely ruined a trip.

We knew that we were staying at an older and less expensive property and had embraced that concept. The location is beautiful and the beach is really quite nice. Parking is free and the room was fairly clean. We would definitely recommend not checking into any of the 01 or 02 rooms on the first few floors. We had the very poor experience of having room 102. This room should be a storage room or office but not a resort room. Its has a very small through the trees* view of the ocean. Most of the rest of the view is of the adiacent resorts utility cribs. This room is also at ground level and on the path for ocean / resort access. Therefore many people pass by and look into your room if your lanai door is open. The toilet smelled of sewage and the pullout bed was dirty. We had ants in the kitchenette. We asked to move to another room or for some compensation. Management would not budge. My family can see the value in the ocean-fronting rooms 03 and above. However room 102, sandwiched between the elevators, concierge desk, and bellhop carts, is an afterthought. It is essentially a part of the lobby with all of the implied nuances.

The rooms are average & the beds (we had a pull out sofa and a Murphy bed) are definitely not the most comfortable. Our room was clean (my sister found a cockroach in hers but left the balcony door open at night) and had everything we needed, including a kitchenette with a small stove, which was great because we were there for a full week and didn't want to eat out every meal. They also have nice gas grills on the property for guests to use. It was quiet and really nice until our last night and then some young people came and were screaming in the pool until 10:30 or 11 pm and in the ocean screaming and yelling directly outside our room at 4 am. I'd have probably been more annoyed if it didn't happen at the end of our stay. The view was INCREDIBLE. I can't say enough about it. This place is all about location location location.

I give the place 5 stars for being right on the beach. I know of no other resorts that have a lanai for the ocean view rooms that have a view that you can see the sunsets into the horizon. My wife & I have been to the resort a number of time and will be back in July. The rooms very (THIS Review has been updated and the studio rooms have been renovated & there are no more murphy beds along with a new whirlpool A+) and and the studio’s are efficient with a kitchenette & a pull down bed. Some units have a Mountain View and or a partial ocean. Some are right on the ocean so be aware of the room you are purchasing. The 1 bedrooms are great and are situated on the corner of the building and are very comfortable with 2 lanais & a full kitchen. You can hear the sound of the waves along with a nice breeze from the “oceanfront” rooms. This resort is more of a condo so don’t expect someone to carry your bags to your room. If you arrive late you will have no one at the front desk so you will have to call the “Sands” next door by to get your keys. The studios are good because they are reasonable priced and if you are out most of the day, why pay big money to not be in the room? All units have AC which is critical on hot days so that is a bullet point for me because so my places don’t have AC so beware if you don’t like hot temperatures. There is a beach right in front of the resort along with chair to relax, a whirlpool right on the beachfront , a cold swimming pool and a barbecue area with table to sit. The place is private compared to a full scale resort which is nice if you don’t want to be crowded. Beautiful beaches are all around so if you are in the know then don’t limit yourself to the hotel’s beach. It’s fine for a day or two or a relaxing short dip or snorkel. Next door is the “Sands” hotel where you can grab a great breakfast or a drink at a nice bar. The rooms are cleaned mid week and there are washing machine and dryers on certain floors. I prefer a high floor because of the magnificent views of Lani & Maliki in the near distance. To me everything is close. Front Street, Blackrock & top notch diving, golf and restaurants right in the area. Food shopping is easy so the kitchen is nice to have in so many ways. When it comes to price, I find great value in staying there. Also, you can see plenty of whales breaching the ocean during whale season along with turtles abound. Mahalo
