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.

Shout out to Anela and Ko'i who were great teachers. The experience was as educational as it was fun. Lastly, our room was very clean and the resort is well-kept. Read less

Overall, an affordable location to stay at near the Whaler’s village in Maui. The beach access is easy and the resort has some good features like swimming pool, bar and restaurant, laundry room, shops, and deli. A coupe of things to consider - no free continental breakfast, and no conditioner (only a conditioning shampoo), which doesn’t work well… Read more

A coupe of things to consider - no free continental breakfast, and no conditioner (only a conditioning shampoo), which doesn’t work well on hair in a humid place like Maui. Read less

Athena, is my coffee savior! She knew what I wanted and got it ready as soon as I got there! Very family friendly. If you don’t want to be with children you can go to the adult only pool with swim up bar! Meet people from all over! If you need anything ask for Ravi! He’ll know how to help. The spa is incredible!

We were booked into a supposedly ‘recently renovated’ room which looks like it’s 30 years old. It is definitely not recently renovated. This place is supposed to be a resort but does not really offer resort services. No room service. No minibar. No poolside drink or food service. No restaurant to eat at night.

We were booked into a supposedly ‘recently renovated’ room which looks like it’s 30 years old. It is definitely not recently renovated. This place is supposed to be a resort but does not really offer resort services. No room service. No minibar. No poolside drink or food service. No restaurant to eat at night. There is a Maui brewing company on site but they do not serve guests outside their premises. Whilst the towels are changed daily the beds are not made daily. It is more like partially serviced apartments. However this place charges $40 US per night in addition to the room fee as a “resort fee”. They also charge their guests who have already paid these fees a further $20 US per night for parking. Whilst it is fair to charge appropriately this is really fleecing the guests. This is topped off by the “stewards” who will gladly take another $60US per day for an umbrella and chairs. Read less

The property is quaint, comfortable, beach front and has places to eat onsite. They even have hammocks in shady spots all over. The beach is right there and walking to shops and eateries only five minutes away. Hospitable staff and cozy feel.
