Such an amazing hidden gem! So beautiful, with great beach access and a super cute delish restaurant. There’s a free trolley that goes to whalers village and a super affordable beach hut that rents snorkel gear, cabanas, etc., Would stay again!!

We got a studio. There was plenty of storage space for the 3 of us. The room felt a lot more open than that of the Westin next door. The kitchen really was a full kitchen, equipped with pots, pans and plenty of kitchen wares. The pools were basic, but the location cannot be beat. Access to the beach was wonderful and as many pool towels as you might need. We'd definitely recommend and would love to return to this location.

What wonderful people and a lovely resort! Walking to the beach was so easy, the castaway cafe was nice, and the pool right outside our room was amazing. Thank you for a great experience! (Unit had a small kitchen, microwave, fridge, stove/oven, tiny dishwasher. Shower and bathroom were a little small, so ask for accessibility if you need that-we were just fine.) Front desk folks were amazing!

The property grounds were excellent and had convenient beach access. The condo was roomy and was recently updated and was nicely furnished. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The property was older but very nice, it was relaxing and really felt like I was in Hawaii.

Centrally located and on the best swimming beach on Kaanapali! Our garden view room was spacious and had a nice peek of the ocean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our 1 bedroom had a comfy bed, giant bathroom and perfect condition vintage rattan furniture. The kitchen had all the comforts of home, knives were sharp and the grill area was exceptional! The pool kept my teenage kids very happy - and had a deep end, which you don’t find too often these days. I’d skip the grill for dinner but appetizers, salad and drinks and service were great. Highly recommend.
One bedroom garden view.
