I was somewhat uncertain about staying here, but in the end I was pleasantly surprised. Two key things to know are 1) there is an additional charge to be paid upon arrival (as noted in the description; I don't understand why it's set up this way); 2) this is basically like staying at a resort, though I gather it is privately owned. Whether it's right for you will depend on what you're looking for.
Pros:
- large unit with spectacular views (better than you would guess from the photos);
- convenient parking;
- surprisingly comfortable bed;
- access to Kaanapali beach, which truly is exceptional, and seemed much nicer than the Sheraton beach next door (fewer people, clearer water, etc.);
- access to the resort beach cabana, which supplies towels and chairs.
Cons:
- expensive (as is everything in this area);
- pretty late check in time (4pm);
- a bit far from the actual beach (though apparently they will give you a ride; I just walked);
- not as well equipped as some AirBnBs (no coffee grinder, no kettle, no spices, etc., unless I missed them);
- somewhat lacking in attention to detail (e.g., glassware and cutlery hadn't been perfectly cleaned by previous guests).
In other words, read the description carefully, but don't hesitate to book if this matches your preferences!
