My family had an amazing time at Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort. We stayed at the South Villa. The resort is close to everything and the hotel has complementary shuttle that can take you to the other Westin properties (great for families with small kiddos, Westin Nanea has a splash pad/ slide and Westin Kaanapali South side has the water slide and Pirate Ship pool for the little ones)
Shuttle can also take you to Whalers Shopping area and shopping outlets.
Our units was perfect and has a very functional design and we have everything we need- kitchenette, dishwasher, convectional/microwave combo, and the plus side is having a washer/dryer inside the unit (less clothing to pack).
Parking- no charge for self service and there was ample parking space. Valet is available but after 5pm resort will charge $20 per day. But we never even use the Valet service, again ample parking space.
Pool area, we always found lounge chairs and they do have cabana for rent depending on the size, the 2 person cabana is $65 for full day and $45 for half day. I did not inquire for the bigger cabana, which can fit 4-6 people. Most of the beaches at Maui are public, resort provides beach umbrella and chairs for additional cost. $39 for all day rental for beach umbrella and $15 for beach chairs. But everytime we go to Maui we always rent with Go Maui Rental which is a concierge service located in Lahaina. Beach chair $3 per day and Beach umbrella $3/day...way cheaper than the resort!
We only dined at Auntie's which is located at the South side, food was ok but we took advantage of the happy hour, 25% off on pupus and drinks.
We very much enjoyed our stay and for sure will come back again.
