Although the room and the Kaanapali Shores resort in general could use some refreshing, the room was clean and comfortable enough for our stay.
Unfortunately, my 14 month old son developed severe hives during our one week stay. After removing possible food allergies and keeping him out of the pool, ocean and sun, it continued to get worse until we left the resort. It began improving right after we left. I can’t be 100% sure but I do believe this was a reaction to some chemical present in the room. He’s never had hives before or since. I also did see a notice about pesticide spraying inside the resort so it could be that, and my son just had a bad reaction. It’s not necessarily the host’s fault but it really impacted our trip so I feel I need to mention it.
The ocean view and beachfront location were wonderful as described and the resort had many amenities and conveniences.
