We had a great stay at the Kannapali Villas. As far as location & amenities goes, this place is WELL worth it. The resort itself has one of the best pools we’ve seen during our time in Hawaii. It’s also steps away from a gorgeous, and not overly busy beach with great sunset views.
The room itself was just fine for our stay of 4 people for the week. It’s a good size & we really appreciated having a kitchen. There is grocery stores just a short drive on either direction from the resort so it makes for buying your own food & drinks easy if you want to save some money here and there.
We also loved the balcony. While it’s not huge, it provides enough space to sit on and enjoy the beautiful ocean view.
If you stay here, I highly recommend a rental car (just easier to travel around Maui in general) plus they offer free parking at the resort! We found some amazing restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping areas all within a 2-5 minute drive of the resort. Would absolutely stay here again just for the prime location and amenities. I would give the room itself a 7/10 for updates.
Only thing to note is that if you are staying here for several days, they do not offer housekeeping services so the place got quite dirty after a few days of tracking in sand. We finally found a broom to clean up, but you’ll be using the same towels your entire stay. Only thing we didn’t care for, but that is typical for an air BnB anyways, it just feels different because you’re technically staying in a resort.
