We’re a family of 5 and got the 2 bedroom suite. Our suite felt huge- a full kitchen lots of storage with everything we needed for our 10 day stay! The pool was warm and the kiddie pool was perfect for littles! The restaurant Captain Jacks-that’s here on the property had amazing food. Also loved our slice of the beach to just walk right out to. The grounds are pretty and kept clean.

The showers are not able to provide hot water for a certain amount of people. The staff was confused about it. The concierge was not helpful, the recommendation was not worth it.

Great RCI resort stay in Lāhainā! Room was clean, fully stocked with all items needed for our stay! Right on the ocean, with as great ocean view restaurant (Captain Jack’s). It was a relaxing, quiet environment, with a great staff that was attentive to our needs.
Nice room, nice staff but we weren’t given the welcome package which would have given us several discounts. Other than that, it was a great place to stay.
Amazing view. Great space. Quiet beach. Great food at Captain Jacks. We visited family members staying in other resorts on the island and saw first hand the Great value here comparatively to others. Very friendly staff, and helpful concierge services. Always greeted with a smile and offer to help in any way. Easy to navigate everything needed for an incredible stay!
I had a great stay at Hands of Kahana. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check‑in was smooth, the instructions were easy to follow, and there was plenty of parking available. The kitchen was well equipped, and there were more than enough towels provided. The night receptionist was also very nice and welcoming.
We also visited Captain Jack’s — the food wasn’t great, but the service was good, and Eric took good care of us.
Overall, it was a pleasant and hassle‑free experience
Rooms were spacious and included everything we needed. The hotel is old but good value for money given the room sizes and location. It is 10 mins away from Kannapali beaches.
Had two seperate incidents with rodents that we had to capture ourselves. They did not clean the area the rodents where in we had to do it ourselves and have rude employees that disrespected my husband and myself multiple times. Joanne the manager was great and so was Dolly they tried to assist us but the other employees need some customer service training or new jobs. From money flicking at our feet to another employee giggling about our situation and the last one that rudely asked you have a problem in a rude tone. Our Christmas and new years and my daughters quinceañera will definitely be one to remember but not in a good way. Maui is beautiful and yes we are respectful when coming to visit but just like I give respect I would hope to have respect given back.
