Royal Lahaina Resort

We had stayed in the Royal Lahaina 10 years ago and were very happy with everything. This time, we stayed in one of their "Garden View Cottages" and were a little disappointed. Our cottage was right next to a main road and very nosy. It was very far from the Hotel and Beach. The room was dated and in need of major upgrade and renovation. I think overall that it was a bit over priced. The parking was terrible (small spaces, few spaces, and far from our cottage) and we were charged $10 per day for the parking. The staff was excellent. The food was average and over priced. You will end up spending twice what you thought your room package cost! We loved the trip, the Island, and would stay there again.

The location is beautiful of course sitting on Kaanapali beach you can't go wrong. This is both the gift and curse of the Royal Lahaina Resort. built in 1963 and the cottage i stayed in looked it, sad really. to many problems to list. the grounds were beautiful. will stay somewhere else next year.

The bellman was very helpful and courteous. Location was awesome. We walked out of our room and the beach was right there. The room seems like it need a little updating.

Despite repeated attempts couldn't get wash cloths when room was cleaned. Finally went to front desk and talked with them. This was on day four of a seven day stay. Got wash cloths after our talk. Dining was terrible. Breakfast buffet was minimal and terribly expensive. $21.00 each for not a very good selection. We ordered ribs for dinner one night and was very disapointed. Tasted like boiled meat with bbq sauce poured over it. The ribs were very tough and tasted warmed over. Later that night my wife got severe stomach cramps and was up much of the night. The bar at the pool had very high prices. I ordered a Jack and Coke. It came in a small plastic cup with watery ice and cost $15.63 for one drink. Needless to say, that was the only one I drank. The location is beautiful. I wish the experience had been better as it was for our fortieth wedding annaversary.

We chose the Royal Lahaina Resort based on the good reviews, and were not disappointed. The room was very nice, clean and provided basic amenities, with the bonus of a balcony. I think most of the rooms have an ocean view, with the best rooms being those overlooking the pool. However, our room above the main entrance was fine, if perhaps a little more noisy. It's an older property, so doesn't have the best soundproofing, but it wasn't bothersome. The restaurant was very nice, with average prices and good service. All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The pool area is very nice, if basic, and the beach is right there - doesn't get any more convenient. It's a very convenient location, with many shops and restaurants close by. I do recommend a car, however, if you plan on going into town or sightseeing. The concierge can arrange trips, and several were better bargains than what was offered on line. All in all, a very pleasant experience that I would gladly repeat.

It was so great having the nice beach, steps away from the pool! great experience...except it was little noisy from my room between the ocean and the freeway noise; well, closing doors fixed the problem ;)

This hotel has beautiful wood everywhere! Everyone is helpful and service is really good. Welcome to paradise!

Great location right on the beach. Friendly and always helpful staff. Very comfortable and laid back atmosphere. Everything you could ask for in a holiday. The luau is a must!!!

Try not to get a room on the third to fifth floor, on one side of the hoted there is a big fan that makes a lot of noise.

A realy nice hotel with a beautiful ocean view. Big rom, clean and nice staff. The food was delicious.
