My stay at Kaanapali Ocean Inn was underwhelming. The location was definitely a highlight as it was close to the beach and offered beautiful views, but the facilities felt outdated and in need of maintenance. While I appreciated access to the amenities at the Royal Lahaina Resort, the condition of the Inn left much to be desired, making it hard to fully enjoy my experience.

Rooms

The room was quite dated, and I noticed signs of neglect like stained carpets and broken fixtures. Despite a decent size, the overall condition felt more like a budget motel than a vacation spot.

Service at check-in was not as friendly as I hoped, though a bellman did assist us during our stay. However, I felt there was a lack of proactive communication, especially when I had issues.

Location

I had a decent stay at Kaanapali Ocean Inn. The location was fantastic, being so close to the beach, and I really appreciated the access to the Royal Lahaina Resort's amenities. However, the rooms were a bit dated, and despite being clean, they felt a little rundown. Overall, it offered good value for a budget-friendly option with some great ocean views.

Rooms

7.0

While my room was clean and spacious with a nice ocean view, it was definitely older and felt somewhat outdated. The mini fridge was handy, but there were no cooking facilities, which limited my meal options.

The service varied; I encountered some helpful staff, like Georgia, who assisted with issues and even provided a credit. However, check-in could have been smoother, as the experience felt somewhat rushed.

Dining options on-site were somewhat limited, but I enjoyed the nearby locations for breakfast and snacks. It was a bit pricey, but the convenience made it worthwhile.

I had a decent stay at Kaanapali Ocean Inn. The location is fantastic, just steps away from Kaanapali Beach and close to several attractions. However, the room itself was pretty outdated and showed signs of wear, which was disappointing. The amenities at the Royal Lahaina Resort were a nice perk, but I felt the overall experience could be improved with some updates.

Rooms

My room had a musty smell, with dated decor and the occasional bug. The shower was inconveniently low, making it awkward for my taller husband, and the mattress was less comfortable than I hoped. However, the size of the room was adequate for our needs.

Service

I experienced mixed service; while a couple of minor issues were resolved swiftly, the check-in experience felt lackluster, and the staff didn't acknowledge our special occasion, despite mentioning it.

My stay at Kaanapali Ocean Inn had its highs and lows. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and close to the Royal Lahaina Resort pools, which was a huge perk. However, I did find the room to be dated and in need of some renovation, which detracted from the experience. Overall, while I enjoyed the amenities, the upkeep of the rooms left something to be desired.

The amenities at the Royal Lahaina Resort, like the pools and cabana rentals, enhanced my stay. I particularly enjoyed lounging by the pool, and I appreciated the extra touches like being able to rent a cabana for the day.
