First of all, The drive to kanapalli is wonderful. The resort is located on a great part of the beach. The room was small but made up for it in luxury and view. The view was incredible. Very clean room and big comfortable king bed. As with most resorts there is a lot to do immediately around the hotel. Plenty... more

Not only was our room in the Tower wonderful (newly decorated and very calming), but the attention to detail was beyond our expectations. We were greeted on our first night here by a mellow singer/guitar player with a beautiful and graceful hula dancer (we later learned her name was Wainani which means beautiful fresh water.) It was so much better... more

We have just returned from a week at the Royal Lahaina The hotel was great I had been reading reviews for the last 4 months and I have to say some were right and some were wrong I feel its what you make of it. We were married in Maui and spent our honeymoon at the RLR and they upgraded... more

We booked at Royal Lahaina Resort on the hotels website. The rooms and prices ranged from "terrace view" , "garden view", "ocean view" and "ocean front". We booked and paid a higher room rate for the "garden view" room. When we arrived, we were assigned a room on the 3rd floor. The view was of a roof with a whole... more

The guest relations center is excellent. Some of the activities we especially enjoyed were the yoga classes and hula lessons. Both the yoga instructor, Carmen, and the hula instructor, Wainani, were pleasant and seemed to really enjoy their classes. Wainani is an accomplished hula dancer and quite knowledgeable about the history of the hula, language, and culture. The spirit of... more

We had a wonderful holiday at the Royal Lahaina. Our 11th floor oceanview room gave us a great view of the ocean and gardens. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The beach was beautiful, and great for swimming and snorkeling. We ate most of our meals at the hotel, and enjoyed the nightly entertainment. Free lessons were offered in... more

This hotel emulates what Hawaii is all about! My boyfriend and I just got back, and really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The pictures I looked at before we left did not do this hotel justice! We stayed in an oceanfront room in the tower(be careful ocean front is NOT the same as ocean view-which we paid extra for),... more

As with all of the hotels in the Kaanapali Beach Resort, separate charges apply for incidental items. Some properties impose a mandatory Resort Fee to cover these charges, however guests of the Royal Lahaina Resort are invited to select from two options to cover incidental charges, (1) pay ala carte on a per use basis, or (2) select our optional...

My husband and I stayed the first part of our Maui stay in Hana - the most tranquil place you can be. We wanted to be closer to the airport on the last day so stayed at Royal Lahaina. We paid for an ocean view room that we booked 5 months in advance. They put us on the floor above... more

The Royal Ocean Terrace Lounge, located in our Lahaina Kai Tower, closes at 10pm each evening. Mahalo.

Hotel tower was great! Rooms were very nice and clean. REstaurant was good and reasonably priced. Lobby was a little out dated. Cottages were kind of dumpy, not renovated like rest of hotel. THey are tearing them down soon, but are still renting them out. Get a room in the tower if you can. Luau was no longer free, they... more

The Royal Lahaina Resort is comprised of two primary accommodation types, the original cottage accommodations and the newly renovated 12-story Lahaina Kai Tower rooms and suites. Each of the the cottage accommodations received a soft-goods refurbishment in the spring of 2008 (new carpeting in the guestroom and the outdoor lanai, fresh interior / exterior paint, new bedding and linens). Garden...

We were in Maui to Get Mauied and our travel agent helped us pick out a hotel. The hotel had undergone major rennovations just prior to our stay, and most of the reviews pre-rennovation were not good so we were nervous about staying at the Royal Lahaina. The hotel ended up being beautiful. We were upgraded to an ocean view... more
