Reviews for The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas
Poor representation of rooms advertised
This resort is great, I'm giving it a poor review because we stayed here in early Jan 2025 after saving up for a nice Ocean Front Room we arrived to find the room was not Ocean Front but the resort classified as Ocean Front be careful and do not booked the Studio Ocean Front Room you'll be looking at a parking lot or the North Villas. Other wise great resort and location.

Surreal stay at Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort
We stayed at KOR North Jan 18-23 ocean front view. It was a last minute booking. It was absolutely amazing. Rooms super clean with no bugs. Wonderful access to the beach and Pool. As a bonus, this is also the mating season for humpback whales. All 5 days we saw whales breach from the beach in front of the villas. And as we swam in the ocean we heard both the whales and porpoises. It was a surreal experience. We will definitely be back again.

Birthday trip gone bad
I chose this Marriot property because it said the room was "oceanfront" and was priced reasonably for the time of year ($712/night). I did not screenshot the rate, nor did I get a confirmation email - just several emails from the concierge asking about particulars -- and one explaining room cleaning fees (which would have applied if I owned one of the Villas, but was only renting through their site). The property is beautiful, the concierge helpful booking excursions - BUT the room was not facing the ocean and it only had a view if you hung out the door. The biggest disappointment was the hard sell on ownership (you do get a night free for listening to the 90 minute pitch, but keep the letter from the concierge, as mine said it would credit over $1,100 back - but then I was told later it was the last night free -- which was a $700 rate), and the final bill which had some kind of "dynamic pricing" where 4 nights were charged at that $1,129/night rate -- adding an extra $1,200 onto what we were expecting to pay. When speaking to the management there, they kept asking me for a confirmation number -- when I was not provided one, but somehow the reservation showed up in my Marriot Bonvoy app, my calendar with the name & address of the property, AND I got credit/points for staying there - so obviously Marriot and their Villas/privately owned properties have issues they need to work out. This put a damper on my 60th birthday, and although I made several attempts on getting the pricing corrected, they were unwilling to do so without the non-existing confirmation email. I stayed on the Big island in a Hilton property a few years back and was treated like royalty for celebrating an anniversary, so this hit hard (I am a memeber of both loyatly programs and am a lifetime Hilton Honors Diamond member - I only started staying in Marriots within the last year and made it to a gold level status, but changing back to Hiltons now). To say that I am disappointed is an understatement, but we loved the people of Maui and wanted to support the community of Lahaina - so we had that to take back. My advise is choose elsewhere -- or if you do stay here, make sure you get an itemized estimate up front.

Mediocre
Food and service is pretty bad. Views are nice. Pool is nice. Rooms are pretty old and dirty. Management decisions pretty poor. Check in wasn’t very informing at all on all the amenities or what the place had to offer Lobby can be cleaner carpets look like they are beat and old.

Lack of room servicing, horrible manager service, ac broken
One of the worst stays i have ever had. spoke to MANAGER NAMED MARCUS at the north villas and he acted like all the following was normal. Did not offer any apology or resolution. Horrible attitude from MARCUS. I Checked in the room 1/9 and hair is all over the shower. AC broke the second night, called to have someone fix it. ALL day no one came so i had to call again to have someone fix it which took over 30 min. Room service came only once during the first three days, and even when she came, the dirty towels were still left on the ground and garbage left in the middle of the room. Alll they care about here is selling you marriot ownership or vacation package with the westin. They dont care at all about your experience WHILE youre there. Absolutely horrible
