The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas

My wife and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary at Westin and it by far outdid our Honeymoon suite we had a few miles away from here. We spend each day relaxing and taking in the peace and quiet of sunbathing at many pools, and snorkeling 5 days straight among the 50 or more tropical fish species that hover in Westin's near shore undisturbed corals, which are too deep to be stepped on and destroyed. I laid on a mat.... so what if they sell lounge rentals...with a novel in my hand soaking in 7 days of bright sunny days. The handiness of the washer and dryer, for which Westin supplies the laundry soap, and the dishwasher with it's soap, the full size refrigerator, the grilling microwave, and stovetop, were almost like the convenience of home. The daily room clean up was performed daily whether we slept in or out enjoying the complex; all was done when we reappeared hours later.... like the cleaning maids knew our schedule. My wife and I toured Iao Valley on a nature walk and loved the scenery and the history around the Needle and the gardens commemorating three famous individuals of Chinese, South Korea, Japanes, and Philopinoe origin all of which we missed 5 years ago. We drove to the farm lands southwest of Pala on the slopes of the crater. Our spectacular few hours on the last day of our vacation was watching the wind surfers at the lookout north of Pala, where gale force winds skewered the young woman and guys over breakers high into the air, thrusting them to and thro at high speeds. Our stay at Westin will be memorable for years to. Oh, by the way, my wife, the researcher, never got rid of the jet lag; so she was a common fixture at all hours of night/ day in the business room in the South tower lobby, where computers and printers are free to use at no room expense. We kept our laptops at home and brought only our ipads for room use. Westin Ocean Villa with its beautifully maintained gardens, golf course length lawns, and the artistically created pools are a showcase for a new camera, from which I have many photographs to download and relive until our next visit at Westin pictures to download.

We (mom, dad, 4 year old, 19 month old and gramma) just got back last night from the Westin Ocean Resort Villas. The following is why they didnt get 5 star from me and my personal experience. But I was satisfied to give them 4 star to almost everything but one rating was 5. Amenities: 4 star easily, they had a great environment for our boys. they loved the pirate ship pool, the playground, the slide and environment. The Kids clubs was just not for us. Renting beach toys was not available. No beachside zone for kids to play in water. The beachfront is not safe for kids. Has a big drop within 5-6 feet. thats why they have so much pool amenities. The shuttle service into town or other hotels was great. great schedule. Great workout rooms for those who like to get in some sweat in between days. Location: I dropped the score again for the beach front availability for the kids. Aside from that. Good stuff. The town is minutes away via the shuttle service. Lots of grocery stores to go to and get food because paying for hotel food everyday is murder to your wallet. Safeway is the most popular one at the Cannery mall. No issues with the wind gust like on the airport side of the island. One overcast day due to some volcano ash and that was it. Room Cleanilness... 5 star. We had two bedroom spot. Both rooms, the deluxe and studio were in tip top shape. Super clean. Room Comfort.. .4 star. Couches and seats just a bit stiff and old but all else is good. bed is comfortable. used the sofa bed once and it was ok. Staff... great people, great smiles and always willing to help. ran into some not to cheerful people at times and thats understandable. Not everyone will be in a good mood all the time. But overall, everyone was helpful and willing to help. The convenient store people were not as cheery. The beach side attendant for chairs and umbrellas were great! Breakfast staff great. Value.... because I bought this through a package, i was able to get a good deal on the room and when I went to upgrade to the 3 bedroom, they offered a great deal. Still a bit stiff but worth it due to location and comfort and amenities. Full kitchen came in handy. great experience overall. Loved it. Would stay at same hotel if I went back to LAHAINA. MAHALO and ALOHA.

We really loved the resort. The grounds are beautiful,employees polite, and anything we needed they tried to help us out. The shuttle took us shopping for free, and we felt very safe here even walking along the beach at night. The buffet breakfast was great, and free if you do without housekeeping for a day.Just ask about it at the desk when you check in.Also, be sure to see every sunset you can on the beach near the hotel! Amazing! I hope I can find another vacation in my lifetime that is this perfect!

The concierge services were poor. When I can get green fees for less than the concierge, who tells us the hotel has a "special relationship" with the golf course.... something is very wrong. While the grounds are spectacular and well maintained, the room cost makes this a marginal value.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Westin. We had a very nice one-bedroom condo unit. Was especially thrilled to have a washer/dryer unit right in our condo. Also had wonderful stainless steel grills for our use. The beach at the Westin has one of the best reefs for snorkeling, which was an added benefit.

We loved this hotel. We stayed in a studio and it was very comfortable and clean. We made use of the small kitchen and washer and dryer. The restaurants and water activities were conveniently on the property. The staff was friendly and helpful. We can't wait to back.

We traveled with a 22 month old and was upgraded from an island view to ocean view. All of the staff were very courteous and friendly. We forgo the room service and was given free breakfast buffet vouchers. The breakfast was good but it felt more like breakfast in the jungle as there were wild birds attempting to steal our food all the time. But that makes our stay even more interesting. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back here.

When I first got here, i thought services and amenities are pretty good. After a few days, i visited different hotels in Lahaina area and realized this hotel is truly special. It is very clean and family oriented. Beach walk is very relaxing. Beach access is extremly easy as well. Highly recommended!

Nice quiet studio-type room in bldg 7 with view of Molokai. Front desk traded room services/cleaning for buffet breakfast coupons (would have been nice to get 2 breakfasts for each day we gave up room services - I should have asked!). Only other downside is a $7/day parking charge - a bit tacky, just add that into the original price! They left a bottle of wine in room because it was our honeymoon which was nice. Advise: call ahead and ask for room on upper floor. We were 5th floor out of 6 floor building. Lower floors have views of trees!. We really enjoyed our stay - would recommend this place!

If you are looking for a very helpful staff and a central location this is your spot! We had a very clean room, with everything you could possibly need. I mean this place had everything! Very nice, food was good. Shuttle service to other hotelsl. It was our first time in Hawaii and we had a fabulous time. The staff was so helpful they pretty much organized every single activity which set our whole trip with fun things to do! Loved the Villas.
