Aston Maui Kaanapali Villas

Our family has done multiple Kaanapali visits; staying at the Westin and also at the Mariott. Overall, I think the beach was better were we stayed this time at the Aston Maui Kaanapali Villas, just north of Blackrock. The beach is totally swim friendly and long, the pool was very warm, hot tub the kids could use, also a shallow swim area in the pool for kiddies. One can walk along the boardwalk forever, a couple miles south or north making this a truly centered location for those who like to walk or jog. The one BR was large and had a good updated kitchen. Though we settled for the garden view, which was just that, it was an excellent value. Staff friendly, renewed pool towels no hassle, parking easy and would give passes to friends to park too so one could enjoy "our pool" for a couple hours. Really ideal. Four our family of four, this was perfect. Nice to have a bar/food between the beach and the pool too, not a feature all condos have.

Everyone was very friendly. The room was upgraded at no cost. Be advised that "ocean view" meant a view of the parking lot and some trees with the ocean way off in the distance. Couldn't hear surf. Housekeeping was lax -- had to ask for shampoo and asked for but did not get beach towels which you needed to get at the front desk after waiting for a while. Couldn't ask for a better location in the middle of the beach walk. Great snorkeling right there and just to the north -- saw a couple of turtles.

We travel very often and the most important thing for me is to have a clean room and we have that. They made up the room everyday, we got full apliances, plus microwave,oven, kitchenware. We didn't cook, because it was only a week, so we prefer to go out, but definitely we are going back so we know what to expect. The beach ( like a huge pool, neat and warm) is a short walking distance from the rooms, and they provide you with beach towels. We can't complain in general it was a good location and quiet, if you looking for relax.

Fantastic! We would highly recommend this property for your next stay. The staff is also fabulous. So kind and welcoming.

We did not know what to expect. We went with our 2 little daughters (10 and 8 yr old) and stayed in the Banyan section with view to the front of the hotel. This resort is perfectly located right in the middle. Between the (Sheraton, Westin, Hyatt and other resorts). There is a Beach walkway that leads you to all the resorts along the beach or you can take the Kaanapali Trolley for free, which rides between 10am and 10pm. The grocery store and shopping area is only 5-8 mins. driving distance. You have to get a rental car to explore the island. If you fly through Kahalui airport, you def. want to stop at Costco and pack yourself with groceries. The kitchen is fully loaded with dishes, pots, coffee maker, blender, toaster, silverware. If you are traveling with kids ask for 2 Queen bed. The king size plus sofa bed(not comfortable).

The hotel is easy to find since we drove from the airport.Close to the beach where we spent more to swim and relax,walk.very quiet.very short drive to shopping, restaurants,entertainment.we attended a luau and it's just a very short walk from the hotel.we had a very short drive to our dinner cruise.we had relaxing stay in this hotel!!!

the location for this hotel is great, direct access to a beautifull beach, kids friendly. A lot of other very nice beaches are closeby. What a pitty that rooms from 3rd floor and above don't have a balcony

The location is the best in maui. The rooms could be nicer

The Aston Kaanapali Villas are older than most hotels in the area, but certainly no less enjoyable. In fact, our family - myself, our two young girls and my mum - were thrilled about the relaxed "Old Hawaii" feel about the property. The staff were friendly and accomodating; the pool, while not the largest or most extravagent in the area, was always clean and provided hours of enjoyment; the beach was only yards from their on-site restaurant, The Castaway Cafe; and the Cabanas provided welcome relief from a full day in the sun. We stayed in a one-bedroom room with an ocean view on the fifth floor. It was very spacious - more so than most new hotel rooms. I will mention however, that not all rooms are remodeled. We were fortunate to have a tastefully remodeled room. We ate at the Castaway Cafe all but two nights of our six night stay, either eating on the patio next to the ocean, or taking meals to go. If you go for breakfast, you must try the pineapple fruit boat with Lanai sauce. Simple, but very tasty. We'll be back in the future!

Stayed here for our honeymoon, and was perfect for a beautiful an dcomfortable room with an awesome view and access to Ka'anapali Beach. Great price for value received, and for those who like to avoid the unneccessarily expensive and overly touristy resorts.
