Absolutely the best place I have ever stayed in Maui. What you get versus what you pay blows any of the hotels on the beach completely out of the water. For the size of the room and all the features and amenities, this is something that would easily cost you about a grand a night or more at any of the major hotels like the Westin, Marriott, Hyatt, etc. I have stayed at the other hotels on Kaanapali and now that I know about the Maui El Dorado resort there is no way I would go back to the hotels. The room was awesome, was just like it looked in the pictures, everything felt very clean and new. It was so nice having things like a washer and dryer, full kitchen, fridge, etc. It felt more like you had a home to go back to rather than a typical hotel room. The services they offered like having a shuttle down to the private beach cabana was awesome. The staff were all friendly and helpful as well which added to the enjoyment of the stay. The other thing I noticed while staying here was that is was SO quiet! When you visit any of major hotels on the beach they are all packed with people, families, kids, the pools are all full, just too much congestion. I could not believe how peaceful and relaxing the stay was here! It felt like you were staying in some isolated getaway even though you were a literal 5 minute walk away from Whaler's Village and all the shops and beach. I did not feel like I lost out on anything staying here as opposed to being at one of the hotels immediately on the beach. The access was so close and nearby that it truly felt negligible, but that little bit of distance felt huge in terms of having a feeling of a quiet and more secluded getaway location. And again, for paying easily a third of what an average room was priced at any of the major chains, there is no way I would stay anywhere else but here when coming to Maui again! Truly fantastic experience!
