AEI at The Mahana Kaanapali Resort in Lahaina

The room was spotless and well appointed. The view was amazing. Easy access to the boardwalk and multiple restaurants was terrific. Parking was a breeze. The staff was wonderful and helpful.

Overall great stay. Our room was a bit outdated in decor and amenities. (Surge GFI kept tripping if bedroom fan was turned on leaving bathroom dark. Bedroom tv remote broken ) We had a one bedroom 2 bath on the ground floor. The view and beachfront was superb.

Everything was perfect for our weeklong stay at the Mahana. Will definitely be returning, soon!

Very tropical and private great location by the gatedcwalkeay and food trucks best view with glass to look out from room no black bar railings . Swam at kahana beachvresort though oo much coral at our beach location . Very nice place. Big grounds . Easy parking recomend mahana to everyone

Stayed here for 5 nights via Costco Travel and it was absolutely fantastic! You cannot beat the view from the oceanfront rooms. We saw turtles, seals (super lucky to see since they are endangered) and dolphins from our balcony. All the staff was very nice and helpful. The only negative is the bathroom in our unit needed an upgrade. I would definitely stay again.

Also note for those wanting to do Road to Hana or Haleakalā this hotel is well over an hour from each. We had to leave at 2:30am to do the Haleakalā sunrise. And the start of Road of Hana is about 1.5 hours.

wonderful view & sounds of waves from the balcony.......
a great spot to have your morning coffee at sunrise or sunset......loved all the huge windows & mirrored kitchen...
easy parking in jungle lot.......great showers.....rocky swimming, but sandy shore.....front desk friendly....

This property does have roaches. They have a sign in the kitchen letting you know this and to keep the area free of crumbs. This would have been nice to know BEFORE HAND. The bedroom tv was not a smart tv and they did not have daily housekeeping. The staff was very sweet however, and they were able to accommodate as much items as you need. The kitchen was fully equipped with all you need. No restaurants near just food trucks and quick eateries

Comfortable room with an EPIC view of the ocean, we could see the green sea turtles swimming from our 12th floor balcony! Quiet at night, nice to have a fridge and a stove to make food, and clean shared spaces. We'll definitely consider them again if we come back to thr Lahaina area.

My husband & I stayed here September 28 to October 4th for our honeymoon. We booked a Studio Premium Oceanfront. When we arrived, we were told we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom unit. The 1 bedroom unit was bigger than the studio would've been, but I am not sure if it was a premium unit as the furniture, TV & bedding was very outdate. If it was a regular 1 bedroom unit, I believe it would have costed the same price as the studio premium unit, meaning not really an upgrade. But enough about that.

Overall, our stay was positive. You cannot beat the oceanfront views! We were on the 2nd floor of the Lahiani Tower. Here are our thoughts on the hotel:

PROS:
- the view!
- the location (super close walk to the beach, close & within walking walking distance to some restaurants and a food truck park, maybe 20 minute drive to Kapalua Ziplines, etc)
- there are free towels that you can use at the pool and/or beach
- the shower in the unit was huge
- there is a DVD rental machine. You get a free rental with a card given to you at check-in
- concierge service to help with planning & booking excursions
- discount at Beach Club (see below)

CONS:
- no restaurants or food options (vending machines or a small shop) on site. You do get a discount at Beach Club (as noted above), but the food & service are not anything special (the food would be overpriced if it wasnt for the discount)
- the first few days of our stay, I received DAILY texts (sometimes more than one) from the property. It seemed a little excessive
- the DVD remote in our unit was missing. We had to wait until normal hours for maintenance to be brought another remote
- we did not mind that you do not get daily housekeeping, but one time housekeeping entered the unit & only emptied the kitchen garbage & not the one in the bedroom

We had no issues with parking. We did not use the pool or hot tub, so I cannot speak on that.

FYI: when driving to the property, the sign says Mahana & does not say “Aston” in case that confuses anyone

Overall, I would recommend this location and would consider staying again if we stay in Ka'anapali the next time we go to Maui.
