    Peaceful Bliss

    The staff was helpful. The resort is well taken care of. Pacific Noon is outstanding. I really enjoyed the calm waters at the beach. Great food & bar accommodations. I have already recommended Lahaina Beach Resort to friends who frequent the island annually.

    5+ star service

    We stayed in the newly renovated bungalows. It was clean and very comfortable. We had a golf course view and our unit was near the branches where they have nightly outdoor live music by very talented local artists. Big mahalo to front desk manager Gretchen for making sure we had the best accommodations, Josh at Kaanapali golf course for setting up our tee time on the nicest course I’ve been on and especially to food and beverage manager Ford Ushijima. He is the exemplary example of The Aloha Spirit. Ford treats everyone like family. Mahalo to our waiter Lyle and bartender Mike for taking care of us. We will make this an annual destination. Maui No Ka Oi!

    Incredible - recommend this to everyone!

    The service during our visit here was absolutely phenomenal. Rod Ushijima and the rest of the team were so good to our family and they really took care of us during our time here. We highly recommend this resort to everyone - if you haven't been, you need to stay here.

    Average property & needs updating

    Just returned from 6 nights at the Royal Lahaina. Unfortunately I don’t think we will return. There are just better properties out there for similar price. Room: We stayed in the tower in a ocean view room and the view was amazing. The room felt clean, bed was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was great. That’s where it ends though. The rooms are in desperate need of an update. The bathrooms are where you can see the age and wear. The lighting in the sink area is absolutely TERRIBLE. The sink is also small and set far back in the counter so I got water everywhere anytime I washed my face. The shower is small and also lacks lighting. Small closet, with wall hooks that were rusted. The WiFi was also terrible. Beach: Located north along Ka’anapali and the beach is beautiful - soft sand, calm waters and not crowded. It’s $75 to rent and umbrella and chairs for the day. They also have yeti coolers which we utilized. The staff that sets up chairs seems stressed and annoyed whenever another guest asks for chairs. They should probably figure out a better reservation system. One day we returned from an excursion around 1:30pm and wanted to sit on the beach for 2-3 hours and they told us chairs would be half price after 2pm. We went back after 2pm and they still tried to charge us full price until we reminded them what they told us 30 min earlier. Pool: The pool area is super cute but we didn’t sit by it… there were never any open chairs. Definitely needs more chairs and umbrellas. Also the pool staff never resets the chairs at night. It’s a hot mess of chairs everyday. They also need to clean out the sand from the showers that people use coming off the beach… they were just piled with sand which doesn’t help to get the sand off your feet. Restaurant: We had dinner after arrival in Lahaina Noon and it was delicious. Service was just ok. There was a guitarist playing that was wonderful. We also had breakfast there our first morning, ordered from the a la carte menu. It was delicious but EXPENSIVE for breakfast so we didn’t return. Coffee/Ice Cream/Retail Shop: The coffee was good but there was always only one person working and a long line. The ice cream selection was minimal until the last day we were there and it was clear they restocked it. The retail shop in the lobby had an inadequate selection of products. Super disappointing. Luau: We booked VIP tickets to the luau because we wanted a table in front. We arrived and found the tables were long and seated like 16 people; our group of 4 was seated at the end of our table, furthest from the stage. I paid extra to be seated up front and I feel “VIP” was grossly misrepresented. I don’t think there was anything VIP about it. The food was good but the drinks were very sugary and weak. The show was good but my husband wanted more of the “fire dancing.” Additionally, the staff seemed indifferent and unwelcoming. Overall the property is just ok. I wouldn’t recommend this property or stay here again. .

    Great location for honeymoon

    friendly staff, clean rooms, beautiful scenery! Was a walking distance from shopping, restaurants, and other beaches. Only complaint is you end up spending $80-$85 extra per day after paying for your room for resort fees and parking. Would rather see that upfront. Towel rentals are free but snorkels, umbrella’s and chairs are extra fees.
