Fodor's Expert Review Kaanapali Beach Hotel
2525 Kaanapali Pkwy., Kaanapali, Hawaii, 96761, USA Fodor's Choice
This charming beachfront hotel is full of aloha—locals say it's one of the few resorts on the Island where you can get a true Hawaiian experience as the entire staff takes part in the hotel's Pookela program, which teaches guests about the history, traditions, and values of Hawaiian culture. A recent remodel offers some premium upgraded rooms, alongside "traditional" rooms; all are decorated with Hawaiian motifs, and the expansive grounds offer plenty of spots to lounge in the sun or shade, with the sand just steps away. Newly opened Huihui is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is already making waves in the Maui dining scene.
