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.

Had a wonderful stay at the Outrigger Beach Resort in Kaanapali. The rooms were very nice. The staff was exceptional, especially Lyn in housekeeping. She took great care of us during our stay.

Perfect resort for our family. Quiet, easy beach access, nice pool, excellent restaurant/bar on site, clean rooms. The beach walk to Whaler’s Village and other resorts was perfect for morning walks. Exactly what we were looking for in our first trip to Maui. We’ll be back!

We stayed in 2 bedroom, 2 bath oceanfront condo on floor 2. Our unit was overlooked the north (quiet) pool and then it was all beautiful ocean just outside the lanai. It was an amazing view but if I went back, I know I could find an ocean view (instead of ocean front) unit for less money and still have a lot of wow factor out the windows. The property is on the west/ocean side of Ali’i drive about 1.5 miles from Kona’s old town. There was plenty of secure, gated parking close to our unit, including a designated space we could use, and floor 2 required no elevator or stairs from parking level 2 (our friends who had a great unit on floor 3 had to go up and down stairs everyone they arrived or left because there was no on-level parking for them). One elevator was out of service for a scheduled refurbishment, but there were directions to other elevators and service accommodations posted. The bbq grills at the south (family) pool did not ignite until we called the front desk to send someone with a lighter. We had this issue 2 nights in a row but otherwise enjoyed cooking dinner on the grills while the kids swam in the pool. There are plenty of shaded tables to eat your dinner art the south pool clubhouse, but beware—the bugs come out (flies, mosquitoes) around 5 pm in summer. The complex was built in the 1980s but most units we saw were relatively updated. The couches and easy chairs in our unit were saggy and worn, definitely testing your core strength when you have to get out of them. The in unit washer and dryer, plus beach towels and chairs, got a lot of use! Happily, the front desk is very helpful and responsive. Our questions and quandaries—like the grills not lighting—were addressed quickly and with good cheer. I would stay here again for a trouble-free stay in a good Kona location. Read less

Staff: Friendly, but UNDER staffed. Communication improvements for guests No one told us there was a connecting store to buy some water— water is not offered in the rooms and this is unfortunate. Bed and pillows: Best bed ever cured my back issue I had for years excellent pillows Bathrooms: Excellent showers and toilets basic but clean and comfortable. Bathroom mirrors are excellent as well too. Staff Promptness: I was bit buy a fish in the ocean on my leg I called front desk and they brought first aid in under 2 min! Wow and thank you. Fitness room: there’s no fitness room sorry… Parking: easy you can park yourself or valet we chose valet of course. Breakfast: much better than most hotels for buffet and optional, you can buy your own. Coffee for purchase was absolutely the best we have ever had— add two shots of expresso! Beach: besides my fish bite the beach was the best beach we ever visited in Maui. Overall: if you are bringing your family it’s excellent for family! 5 nights was about $6,000 two rooms plus connected ocean front views and they were stunning. Read less
