Diana is incredibly helpful at booking and ensuring that you have a wonderful stay in Maui. These are timeshare units, and so there’s more amenities on site than an apartment, but less than a hotel. The beach IS accessible on the north end of the hotel, but the cabana area by the pool has a partly obstructed view due to the dunes restoration project. For whale season, there really isn’t a better place to sit beachside in a cabana and watch whales. (Really. There may be nicer pools and nicer beaches, but not a better combo of the two. Kaanapali boardwalk is accessible at the end of the parking lot. Food trucks are overpriced. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Maui and if you haven’t been in a while, you’ll want to know that the snorkeling near kaanapali is not what it once was!!! For good snorkeling, check the surf report and plan to go to wailea whenever the winds are calm.
KBC is a great value for a nice mix of amenities and convenience.
