The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka'anapali

This is a great hotel near great restaurants and shopping. Perfect for someone who doesn’t have a rental car but has transportation through booked excursions. The room was really nice, the staff was excellent, and the grounds were perfect. I will be back!!!

If you’re looking for a unique & personal experience, we recommend that you visit the Hokupa’a Lanai! Michael is a wealth of Hawaiian knowledge, culture & friendliness. HE is the reason that we return to the Westin. We had an unbelievable encounter with Freddie- a passionate, award-winning bartender/mixologist. Ask him to make you something special… it will be an experience like NOTHING you’ve had before. We were truly treated like Ohana. Until next time!

We had a wonderful stay at the Westin. Here are some things we particularly enjoyed. 1. The resort grounds are fabulous and well equipped - beautiful and well maintained, with waterfalls and 5 pools. We particularly enjoyed the adult only area which had 2 pools (one of which was salt water), and large hot tub and a dedicated bar. 2. The resort is situated on Kaanapali beach and has a wide beach area with great swimming and excellent snorkeling within walking distance. 3. Right next to Whaler's Village shopping area, which had several restaurants & bars and a number of shops. 4. Nice on-site restaurants, two one which are ocean side 5. Our room, though small, was nice and well maintained and it had an ocean view deck which we very much enjoyed. A couple of things we didn't like so much 1. Prices were expensive, even after considering inflation. This includes food and drinks (tropical drinks push $20), and cabana rental. 2. We would have liked a somewhat larger bathroom/sink area in the room. As it was, it was a bit tight in there and didn't accommodate more than one person very well. All things considered, though, we really enjoyed this resort and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a Maui vacation.

The view was great from our room in the 9th floor. We enjoyed the balcony. However the pools areNOT heated except for the adult hot pools. Very few people even using the regular pools bc they are so cold. But our biggest struggle is the lack of accessibility. You cannot get to the upper pools in a wheelchair with out going in the elevator and exiting on the 2nd floor. The lower pools one only has a lift and no stairs to walk in and to get to the other 2 larger pools you have to go up a steep incline which takes some muscle to push someone up and to leave you have to back down to be safe. Only one place to get towels which means if you are on the upper level you have to take the elevator down to the towel shack and then Back up to the upper pools. My husband had been dreaming of this trip for 2 years and all the magical pools and In The end found it very difficult to enjoy and honestly I am exhausted from pushing the chair.

First off, i must say the service at the resort was top notch. Everyone was very helpful and polite. The resort was very clean and super modern. Everything was beautiful. My only issue with the whole place was the lack of beach chairs on the beach. The chairs should be included in the stay, as this hotel is not cheap. I was there to attend a friends wedding, and we really missed out on the beach because the first day it was rather hot and there was nowhere for us to sit, unless we paid $75 for the whole day, when it was 5pm in the afternoon. That just doesn't make much sense. Besides that, the resort is very close to the Whalers village, which has tons of shopping and restaurants. Also , one other thing, the rooms are pretty small. We had a 2 queen bedroom and found it a little crowded. The bathrooms also have a sliding door which never really closed all the way. It makes it hard when you are staying with friends and not family. Besides that, we had a blast. The location was great, the beach was nice and the restaurant's were top notch.
