This was our first trip to Hawaii and our stay at Kaanapali Beach Club was FANTASTIC! We got a two bedroom oceanview that was fabulous. KBC is very centrally located to everything in Maui. It is about a 30 minute ride to the airport. We did the Road to Hana which was about 40 minutes. Otherwise, food trucks were right across the blvd, along with a supermarket within walking distance. We had a rental car because who wants to carry grocery bags across a busy street but it would be totally doable. There were also plenty of restaurants within walking distance along with the food truck. KBC is a great resort. The pool was seldom busy but was beautiful! They had a very large hot tub with a waterfall for the ambience. Most adults did hang out there at night. No restaurant for sit down but they did have a very nice restaurant for to-go and you could sit right at the tables by the pool to dine. All in all it was a great resort and we will return again! The beach as people mentioned is deteriorating so you do have to walk down some sandbags but we just headed to Flamingo Beach which is not too far away, definitely need a car but that was a nice large sandy beach with a lifeguard and restrooms. Hope that helps! Maholo!
