This property is located in the Kaanapali Alii Resort on Kaanapali Beach, just a 5-minute walk to Whaler’s Village where many shops and restaurants can be found. This is certainly a plus! The property itself is very nice, but could use a nicer, larger pool. It was quite crowded.
The “new remodel” title of the condo we rented is misleading, as this condo is in need of a larger “uplift.” The kitchen has been updated nicely with new appliances and granite countertops. The bathrooms are nicely done with newer showers/tubs. The stackable washer and dryer look new as well, but the floors need work, as do a few of the drawers in the bathrooms that tend to “fall” when pulled open. The furniture is dated, although a few of the chairs in the living room are comfortable. The beds are ok, but could be much more comfortable.
The main complaint is about cleanliness. While the condo seemed clean when we arrived, we soon noticed pungent odors coming from inside the dishwasher, the washer, and the bathrooms. The dishwasher and washer are probably a result of mold or mildew and need a very good cleaning. The bathrooms seem to emit a light “sewer” smell. Perhaps, coming up through the property’s sewer system? … especially the master bathroom.
Overall, this is a nice property with a partial ocean view, as well as mountain views, that could be at least 4 stars! It is our opinion that 6 people are too many for this condo, as the 2nd bedroom is small and is configured more as a den … right off the living room. We had to put the 10 yo and 12 yo on a blow up mattress (which is provided) on the living room floor … which had to be moved out of the way every day. The condo is fairly small, also another reason for taking only 4 people. We, of course, enjoyed ourselves in Maui, Hawaii! However, more attention needs to be paid to cleanliness, especially with the large cleaning fee!
