The hotel

Something of a state treasure,  Outrigger Ka'anapali Beach Resort truly captures the spirit of Hawaii, teaching guests the true meaning of ‘Aloha’. Warm and extremely welcoming, you’ll feel like one of the family as soon as you arrive. Premium rooms have recently been refurbished and offer modern retreats with Hawaiian touches, as well as a furnished balcony from which to admire stunning ocean, courtyard or garden views. The courtyard is something of a sanctuary, shaded by Kukui Nut Trees, ever blooming Plumerias and 6-storey palm trees. Kids and adults alike will love the whale-shaped swimming pool as well as taking part in daily cultural classes that are on offer. Engage in Lauhala weaving, Ukulele lessons or Hula lessons before soaking up the evening entertainment at the new beachfront restaurant Huihui - with a tasty tropical cocktail in hand.

Outrigger Ka'anapli has a great location, a beautiful beach and thus a great value. I'd give 4.5 stars, but they don't have that option and 4 is too little so 5 it is. The grounds, while simple, had beautiful flowers and shrubs and were immaculately kept. The pool while small, was clean and usually able to handle all the patrons (including a couple screaming kids). We wish they had the music from the restaurant piped in. Would have been a bit livelier. Our Oceanfront room was awesome, the view from our balcony was spectacular. We did pay the highest price, so we expected that. Our room wasn't big but had a KIng bed and small table and chairs, so it was sufficient for us 2. Ther mattress was super comfortable. The walk-in shower was great. Excellent water pressure and non-skid floor (a grab bar would be a smart addition). One detractor is the lack of dining facilities. Hele On, a breakfast place with a nice buffet $30pp had a nice selection and wonderful ripe fruit. Great service. But they only open until Noon. Deli corner has snacks but is limited. But does have some toiletries, medicines and liquor. They have a carryout window by the pool, but it offers the same menu as the main restaurant, Maui Brewing Co., a bar with food. It's decent but overpriced and food generally not served hot. It has a great beachfront setting and scenic sunset views. Staff is pleasant in every aspect with "Aloha's" and smiles all day. When we arrived our room was ground floor even though we'd been assured iof an upper level to celebrate our 40th anniversary. With just a mention of their "promise" management stepped in and got us to the 3rd floor. No animosity, just business, So, we were pleased with that response from the start. We were told about some kind of "fairwell" thing they do with leis, but it never happened for us? Read less

Great stay all-around! Fabulous location - Whalers and all kinds of restaurants are a very short walk away. The on-site brewery is fantastic. Any questions or requests we had were answered immediately. Our room was beautifully updated and clean. The grounds and facilities are also kept very clean. We skipped the breakfast as $30 for a standard continental breakfast was a little hard to stomach, but there is a cute cafe in Whalers and several great options in town. We just went to the grocery store for yogurt and fruit to have for a few days. Would definitely recommend renting a car to get into town and around the island! Read less

Fabulous location on the beach walk close to everything. Super authentic Hawaiian atmosphere! Rooms and grounds are very nice. Staff is exceptional! All so friendly and welcoming. Always a good morning and aloha when we walked past, especially MJ Ugale. Wish the music played later at Maui Brewing , the food and drinks were great.

We stayed 12 nights at the Outrigger Kaanapali Beach Resort to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The setting was perfect for us. We rented an ocean front room where we could enjoy the sounds and view of the ocean by day and watch the beautiful sunset every evening. The staff at the hotel are very warm and welcoming. They offered several free workshops on a variety of activities to familiarize guests with the Hawaiian culture. The pool was relaxing with a perfect water temperature. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of lounger chairs spread around to provide shade and privacy for guests. There are convenient onsite options for eating breakfast and poolside snacks. We enjoyed dining at the Maui Brewing Company where there is live entertainment in the evening. The hotel location is an easy short walk to several restaurants and stores at the Whalers’ village. We found that driving was easy in Maui so we were able to eat at other restaurants on the island, too. If we ever return to Maui we would choose to stay at Outrigger Kaanapali Beach Resort again. It was a peaceful, relaxing experience. Read less
