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.

This Outrigger Ka'anapali Beach Resort was amazing. I planned our 25th anniversary and specifically chose this Resort because I wanted to stay at a place I felt embodied the Hawaiian Aloha spirit. I am happy to say this Resort exceeded all of my expectations. They went out of there way in helping us celebrate our special occasion, the Resort activities were great introductions to the Hawaiian culture. Everyone on the staff were friendly and extremely helpful and took the time to give help us and answer any questions we had and never made us feel like we were a bother. Direct access to Ka'anapali Beach is another great amenity. When I go back to Maui, we are definitely staying here again!!!!

Clean and great location . It’s truly more like a 4.5 only because it isn’t fully resort luxury . Staff was wonderful for sure !
The beach chairs and umbrellas very expensive to rent so we rented locally from Boss Frogs which worked great when we wanted to try other beaches .
The beach at this place was a perfect spot though . Close to Whalers village .
All in all we would certainly recommend .
We don’t ever use a pool when at the beach but it looked well maintained .
