Outdated with terrible service

This resort is old The room was filthy. The service was poor. The pool was outdated and dingy. The breakfast (limited and cold) was in a semi open area with birds under the table. We ended up checking out after less than 24 hours and were charged an exorbitant fee for the early departure. I would not recommend this “resort.”There are so many… Read more

This resort is old The room was filthy. The service was poor. The pool was outdated and dingy. The breakfast (limited and cold) was in a semi open area with birds under the table.

I would not recommend this “resort.”There are so many other beautiful places nearby and we were grateful to spend our last three nights in a beautiful one just down the boardwalk. Read less

Good location

Good hotel, small pool but very close to the sea and beach. Loungers around the pool go quickly. Valet parking good. Good location near Whalers Village.

Look elsewhere.

So here’s my honest review of the Outrigger Kaanapali. NO! It’s definitely a 3 star hotel. The exterior decor is from 1999 including the pool. The rooms are remodeled. There are ONLY two restaurants on site with limited hours. One open for breakfast which is highly overpriced and open until about 2 pm and the Maui Brewing Co . Reservations are a must through open table. NO room service or DoorDash. No water in the room. Staff is nice except the front desk. Rude and understaffed. This is tourist trap hotel for low budget travelers bring your cooler. They allow outside guests to use for facilities for $25 a day. Just pay to park no room key needed to enter the pool. They have old pool lounges and 2 hammocks. Overall, again, it’s a 3 star hotel and was very disappointed. Wouldn’t stay here again even paid $75 a night for an upgraded room which was no different than the original room. Just a suggestion if you’re planning on coming to Maui stay in the South in Wailea or Makena. It’s much nicer and not as touristy better beaches and better accommodations and restaurants. Read less

Sorry but would not return.

I booked this room for my best friend's 60th birthday. I wanted the ocean view room which was obscured by bushes so you can't even see the beach if you were on the ground level like we were. The sliding door to get out of the patio was tricky and you had to manipulate it. During our stay, our bathroom ceiling was leaking. We reported it and it was… Read more

I booked this room for my best friend's 60th birthday. I wanted the ocean view room which was obscured by bushes so you can't even see the beach if you were on the ground level like we were. The sliding door to get out of the patio was tricky and you had to manipulate it. During our stay, our bathroom ceiling was leaking. We reported it and it was fixed properly, but when the panel was taken off, water splashed all over our counter and belongings on the sink top, the hotel never gave any kind of discount for the inconvenience as we had to be there when maintenance came to fix it. We also found a cockroach on our wall, which we also reported, but apparently this is a common occurrence in Hawaii? I realize they are everywhere even where, but I have never seen one in any other hotel. The staff was very friendly specially when we checked in and the valet person, Rob was wonderful. The beds are also not comfortable. We did love the shower as it is a walk-in shower with great water pressure. I expected this to be a higher end resort, especially for the costs, and when there are resort fees involved and to me it was just average. I would not return to this resort. Read less

Perfect for our stay on Maui

We booked 5 nights at the Outrigger Ka’anapali via Virgin Holidays and I was not disappointed. The hotel is about 45 minutes’ drive from the airport (OGG) and has a multi-storey covered parking lot on site. We had a car for our full stay, and the hotel charges $25 per night parking with in/out allowed. We never had issues finding parking CHECK-IN: Not much of a queue when we arrived and we were seen to promptly by a welcoming member of staff. They have an “activities” table for help with booking excursions, etc, and they also have a cultural centre for their daily activities (learn hawaiin, lei making, etc). ROOM: Our room was in the “Papaku wing” which overlooking the tennis courts (and we could just about see the beach). I liked the room – it had everything needed and enough space for our belongings. Housekeeping kept it clean daily, and I imagine they have a tough job getting all the sand out of the rooms each day as even though you try, you can’t help but bring some back when you’ve been out! HOTEL GROUNDS: There was a small convenience store at the front of the hotel which was closed the one time we wanted to use it (it says opening times do vary). They have breakfast / brunch spot on site which we did not visit, but we did go to the Maui Brewing Company bar / restaurant on site which had a nice vibe and overlooked the beach. There is a pool on site which never seemed to be busy when we went past it – we only used it the once and preferred to swim in the ocean instead. The hotel is located a small walk from “Black Rock” which was great for jumping in from and for swimming & snorkelling as the waters were calm and clear. The Outrigger is a small walk from the Whaler’s village which has lots of shops and dining options too. STAFF / SERVICE The staff were all friendly and helpful. The Outrigger offer a departure ceremony where guests are presented with a kukui-nut lei, and I though this was such a wonderful touch when you are ready to leave. I can see why it is classed as Maui’s “most Hawaiian” hotel. Read less
