Maui Revealed: "Bought all four books yesterday in snowy New Hampshire. The text and illustrations are to die for. Can't wait to visit all four islands in March after staying up most of the night reading them. Thanks again." |
Ka'anapali Beach Hotel (800) 262-8450 or (808) 661-0011 2525 Ka'anapali Pkwy. ![]() 424 rooms, pool, 3 shops, coin-op laundry, PlayStation in rooms, free Wi-Fi in public areas, hi-speed Internet access in rooms, coffee makers with free coffee daily. This is one of the early Ka'anapali resorts (1964), and it shows. It shows in the worn look of the buildings and rooms, but it also shows in the warm hearts of the employees. This isn't the place to go for the jaw-dropping opulence of some of the other Ka'anapali resorts. You go here for its old-fashioned feel, the awesome beach location, and the price. Rooms are 425 sq. ft. but are feeling a tad more tired since our last edition and in need of some remodeling. We saw a few sagging mattresses. The staff here has a very family feel. Even the photos of Hawaiians adorning the rooms are all employees of the hotel or their family members. Many employees are well known for taking guests home with them for family gatherings. The staff feels more Hawaiian and seems more interested in presenting Hawaiian culture, offering classes in lei making, lau printing and other Hawaiian customs. The Moloka'i wing is non-smoking only, and there's no elevator. (They wisely saved it for the smokers out of courtesy.) There is a $9 per day parking fee (valet is $11). Local calls are 75¢, and it's $1.50 for the room safe. Their Ka'anapali Mixed Plate restaurant offers all buffets that are cheaper than others in Ka'anapali (kids under 5 are free). Rates are $225-$355, suites (575-675 sq. ft.) are $295-$485. That rack rate includes free daily breakfasts for couples. If you don't want the breakfast, they have some great Internet deals that clinch the Solid Gold Value. |
