Aston Mahana at Kaanapali

Our stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. We were thrilled to discover that our studio room on the 9th floor offered a breathtaking ocean view, which we could enjoy from the comfort of our own balcony. We were even treated to a sighting of whales in the distance, which we were able to observe through binoculars. The hotel's amenities, including a swimming pool. The room itself was beautifully appointed, with a stylish interior that felt like a luxurious studio apartment. The room had fully equipped kitchenette and the provision of all necessary utensils and amenities. Overall, our experience at this hotel was outstanding, and we would highly recommend it to others.

The views from this resort are a 5. The unit we stayed in was clean and nice sized, just little dated. There were some reviews where bugs were found in their unit, we did find one medium sized one in ours. But it was only one and it was at the end of the stay. The location is great for views, but you have to walk to the resort to the south to use the beach as there is coral and rocks on the beach in front of this resort. Most of the staff were great. The only problem with the staff and the reason for a 1 review is because of the security guard. At 8pm with no one in the pool area he told my 3 kids that they cannot jump in the pool. Which they and I miss heard because this seemed ridiculous. So 5 to 10 minutes later another kid jumped in. Thats when this person who is a security guard dressed in a white flannel shirt and jeans told my kids they had to leave. This obviously made me mad and when I told him he could talk to me about the situation he got mad which didnt help things. I asked who he was and if he even worked there. He told me he was a security guard and that if I had anymore questions he was going to kick my family out of the resort. Which made me even more mad because I still didnt know what they had done. He then said no jumping is aloud and that it says that on the pool rules board, which it didnt say no jumping. It said no diving. So know Im really mad, this is when he said he was going to call the cops. At this point I start putting clothes on and walk towards him, hes still on the opposite side of the pool as me. He walked away so I went to the front desk. The front desk gentleman was nice and asked if there was anything he could do. I was just asking if this guy really was a security guard. He did in fact work there. My wife calmed me down and we went to the room and the rest of the time at the resort was okay. Long story short. If you have kids, Id go somewhere else, I wish I did. Im sure Ill get a response to this review saying something along the lines that the resort is sorry about my feelings, but there are other reviews with similar problems. And it seems nothing changes. Safety: Joke. The security guard walks around the pool straightening out chairs and yelling at kids for no reason.

We booked a premium ocean front one bedroom , when we checked in we got a room on the 4th floor (room 408). The condo was old, not updated, and the ocean view was obstructed by the palm trees. After requesting for an higher floor I was told there are none available. I then asked if there were any two bedroom places available, they showed us the two bedroom place and it was absolutely gorgeous (room 1209). I had to play $1500 more for 6 nights. I think there are 1 bedroom that are also updated and higher floors. I would highly recommend this place only if you can get the right condo, the first condo we had would not have been worth the cost.

All the rooms are sea facing. The higher up you are, the more you feel like you are on a cruise.. in the middle of the sea. You can witness beautiful sunsets from your room. The pool and the amenities are good. You are charged extra for the amenities (despite the usage). Restaurants and stores are at a walking distance. The sea gets noisy at night, personally I love the breezy sound, however, some might find it annoying. Rooms: The rooms are decently spaced. We took the one with a kitchen. They are well equipped and have an in-unit laundry. Nearby activities: The beach is accessible via the property. You can walk around, surf or just chill by the beach. Safety: Safe Walkability: Walkable to stores and restaurants Food & drinks: No in-house food or drinks available
