Great big room, clean. Wasn’t crazy about the 2nd floor with no elevators. But would definitely stay there again. Also our room was quite a distance from the onsite restaurant. But everything else amazing!

We loved our stay at AEI at Maui Kaanapali Villas! We were upgraded to an ocean view room for free. Nice to have onsite parking included. Started each morning with coffee in the lobby and a walk on the beach walk. Loved the beach- saw turtles everyday. Very nice and easy snorkel rental (and any beach needs- chairs etc) right there. The man at the rental place was very nice and helped our son get the right mask size. We would stay there again!

Front desk staff, Rain and Joe and all the rest were great. Handy coffee station in the morning, water bottle refill very very appreciated. Wonderful pool and great restaurant, the Castaway. Grounds were beautiful. Great central location walkable to so many places, free shuttle to whalers Village. This place was so great. Not as crazy and packed in as the neighboring hotels. Totally recommend! Ocean view studio, perfect!
