The hotel

Something of a state treasure,  Outrigger Ka'anapali Beach Resort truly captures the spirit of Hawaii, teaching guests the true meaning of ‘Aloha’. Warm and extremely welcoming, you’ll feel like one of the family as soon as you arrive. Premium rooms have recently been refurbished and offer modern retreats with Hawaiian touches, as well as a furnished balcony from which to admire stunning ocean, courtyard or garden views. The courtyard is something of a sanctuary, shaded by Kukui Nut Trees, ever blooming Plumerias and 6-storey palm trees. Kids and adults alike will love the whale-shaped swimming pool as well as taking part in daily cultural classes that are on offer. Engage in Lauhala weaving, Ukulele lessons or Hula lessons before soaking up the evening entertainment at the new beachfront restaurant Huihui - with a tasty tropical cocktail in hand.

KBH seems a bit smaller and more personal than other Kaanapali resorts. Don’t expect a glitzy lobby or decadent décor. While the rooms have been recently remodeled, this resort exudes more old Hawai’i” charm and aloha, which we loved. On Fridays, mid-day, all the hotel staff come together with the guests to celebrate the week’s end through song and hula. It was touching hearing their songs about Lahaina and their beloved island. Also, every evening we looked forward to listening to the live music from the outdoor restaurant from our balcony. No loud bands, but wonderful relaxing ukulele and guitar with the sounds of the ocean in the background. This section of Kaanapali beach is one of the best beaches anywhere. One of the highlights for us was long walks along the beach path with views of the ocean and other resorts. Snorkeling just a few minutes walk away at Black Rock and on the other side of Black Rock is another beautiful beach and popular snorkeling area, Kahekili beach. Plan ahead to incorporate some of the resorts cultural activities. A calendar can be found on the “Activities” section of their website. We regretted not making more time for the cultural activities as they are one of the unique treasures of this resort. We definitely plan to come back and do so. The farewell lei ceremony was a nice touch. Feedback for the Outrigger chain, and all beach resorts really: When designing your hotel bathrooms, please consider, where are guests going to hang all their wet swimming suits, swim shirts and other wet beach gear to dry? Please build in a rack or retractable clothes line inside the shower! We had to get creative to find places to dry our swimming gear and tied things down on the windy balcony. Read less

From our arrival we were greeted with a warm welcoming. We had a partial Ocean View room that was absolutely one of the best we have ever stayed at.

From our arrival we were greeted with a warm welcoming. We had a partial Ocean View room that was absolutely one of the best we have ever stayed at. The room was on the 4th floor and you are able to park on the 4th floor of the parking garage that allows for you to walk across which makes it easier to get to your room. Once inside your room it is clean and has the basics such as a small fridge, coffee maker and a safe for your belongings. The resort is located right in the perfect spot a 4-minute walk to Whalers Village and a 4-minute walk to Black Rock Beach that was the best snorkeling experience. We stayed 8 days from Sunday to Sunday and we absolutely loved our experience. The staff was amazing, the restaurant which is on the resort Maui's brewing had one of the best burgers I have had and was near the beach with live entertainment that made the sunset dinner even better. This is a gem of a resort and will be returning in the near future !! Read less

We stayed at the Outrigger hotel on Ka’anapali Beach and it was nice even though the rooms are dated and no view because we were on the first floor. Our view was of Maui Brewing Company restaurant and bar that is where we watched the football games. Everything is close by like Whalers Village was like a 3 minute walk from our room with restaurants… Read more

Our view was of Maui Brewing Company restaurant and bar that is where we watched the football games. Everything is close by like Whalers Village was like a 3 minute walk from our room with restaurants like Leilani’s, Hula Grill and Monkeypod. Starbucks is like a 5 minute walk and is located at the Westin hotel. I would definitely stay here again. Read less

Kaanapali beach is the beach to select if you want to see turtles and colorful fishes. We stayed a bit north of Kaanapali, but next time we will find a hotel at Kaanapali beach. Close to the black rock. Snorkeling was great here. You can also go by car but parking is very limited in this area.
