The resort where this room is located is the Aston Kaanapali Shores condo located in Kaanapali. It will take you about 45 minutes to get there from the airport. If you drive you will need to purchase a parking pass for $9 a day. (April, 2019) The resort is lovely and beautiful. There are two very nice pools and two hot tubs, one by each pool. Everything is extremely well kept and clean. By the pool closest to the beach there is a restaurant and bar. We never ate there or used the bar.
The resort offers activities such as a "hula - type" show on Wednesday nights and live music and happy hour in the bar on Fridays and flower lei making in the morning. We didn't know about these things prior to our trip so I had already made other excursion plans on the days they were offered and I missed the resort activities. They also have a welcome continental breakfast that you can attend on your first day to share all of this info, but again we didn't know about this and we missed the info which made us feel out of touch. Because this is a private owned room and not part of the hotel aspect of this resort we weren't informed about this stuff at check in. It wasn't a deal breaker by any means, but it just would have been nice to know ahead of time, before I made other excursion plans.
The room itself is located on the 7th floor and was extremely clean and contained absolutely everything you will need. (the fastest elevators I've ever been in..there was never any waiting for an elevator). Kitchen was fully loaded with a blender for making drinks etc. There was a fan in the closet, and a foldable baby crib in the closet if needed. Beach chairs and beach umbrella in the front closet with snorkel gear and boogie boards as well... A real bonus! The hotel does offer you beach towels and you can take them to the beach.
There is NO walkable beachfront in front of this resort (at least not in April). That was the only thing that was very disappointing for me. (There is a very small beachfront in front of the adjoining property that you can sit at and swim, but it is small.) But the Kaanapali beach is 5 mins away and was walkable for hours... it is very large and lovely. To get to the beach where you can swim you need to travel about 5 minutes south to Kaanapali beach. There are several "public lots" so do not pay for parking at the beach. We didn't find it necessary to ever pay for parking. You cannot "walk" to the beach from the resort. The beachwalk does not go through the other resorts and so they only way to get there is to drive - or you could probably swim. Just a note - Swim further down on the south end where it is more sandy. You can snorkel on the north end where there are more rocks.
The view from the room is exactly as it appears in the pictures. You are not "ocean front" but you do have ocean view and it is a lovely view. The breeze from the ocean was all we needed to stay cool. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend staying here. The communication was fast and friendly.
