    The great place to spend a time with your family!

    Overall, we had a great experience with the Royal Lahaina Resort. The stuff was accommodating, and the amenities were great. We stayed at the nice, clean room with a gorgeous ocean view. The beach was probably one of the best ones we experienced before!

    Unfriendly Staff

    We loved everything about our stay at the Royal Lahaina - the resort is stunning and has amazing amenities. However, the treatment from staff absolutely altered our opinions of our stay. Apart from the men that took care of our valet and one woman working in our hallway to clean rooms, the staff was not friendly to us. I’m not sure if it’s because my friend and I are younger than most of the other guests we saw, but it’s truly a shame to have been looked at and treated the way we were because we would’ve spent much more time than we did at Royal Lahaina, recommended it to friends and family, as well as book future stays. I don’t plan to return to this resort because of the staff’s attitude and what seemed to be age discrimination.

    Birthday surprise from Ford

    We got to the resort on Thursday April 10th 2025. As soon as we arrived the staff made us feel at home. We stayed in the tower on the 11th floor and the view was breathtaking. We saw whales, turtles , dolphins, beautiful sunsets and the water was the clearest and calmest ocean I had even seen or been in. Besides the ambiance and overall beauty of the resort what made it even more special was the staff. By the end of the 2nd day (stayed 8 days total) the staff knew us by name. Bartender John aka (chachee) was amazing. Server Cara was so sweet , but Ford was beyond anything u could imagine. We were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday and he put together a surprise cake and had the live entertainment , staff and guests sing her happy birthday. I was blown away . We will be back you all have earned new family for life. Aloha from California . Thank you for everything again Ford you're the man!!! Sincerely Anthony ( the Grimes family)

    Total ripoff

    I have been coming to this hotel for over 15 yrs,,it has turned into a total money grab. $40 per day self park,,$45 per day resort fee, and the those fees taxed for more of a money grab! It's new owner is disliked by all i talked too,,all the old staff has quit and moved away. The resort is more rundown than ever and in disrepair,,they only clean rooms every second day! For all those fees! I will not be returning to the royal lahina
