We had such a wonderful time at Nicki’s place. We loved the location in Kaanapali beach which is an area that we love. This was our first time to the Kaanapali Royal and we found the complex to be beautiful, quiet, safe, easy to navigate, and perfect for our active family.
The condo is easy to access, light and had everything ( and more!) that we could have wanted. I loved the well-appointed kitchen with easy-to-use appliances, lots of counter space and so many extras that it made mealtime easy and simple. I especially appreciated the sharp knives, extra cutting boards, Pyrex storage bowls, and appliances including the blender which we used starting the first night for pina coladas at sunset. We both cooked in and went out to eat, and when at home, enjoyed sunrise and sunset meals on the gorgeous and large lanai which has a very comfortable table for six.
There were lots of beach accessories and we especially appreciated the coolers which we used with the ready to go ice packs for a backcountry hike.
The condo is about a ten-minute scenic walk from the beach and Whaler’s Village shopping center. There are multiple places to access the beach and waterfront walkways- look for the signs and pathways to public beach access. The combo lock entry was very convenient giving our family easy access to the unit without having to worry about keys which was helpful as we were in and out going for an early morning snorkel at Black Rock or an afternoon stroll at the shops or waterfront. We used the pool and jacuzzi a few times and found that to be a nice break from the beach. There is a little convenience store nearby for last minute items, but grocery stores are within a 5–10-minute drive. We walked to the Fairway shops the first afternoon and rented our snorkel gear for the week and that was simple and easy. Check online for discounts and rates though we asked about the online rate in store, and they were happy to include that including tips for places to snorkel and visit.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, updated, clean, and had lots of storage. The beds were very comfortable including the two-euro loungers which our sons aged 20-23 used all week. There were extra towels, and the washer and dryers were very convenient to use. Even my husband commented on how organized everything was.
Overall, we could not have asked for a better week or better communication from Nicki who provided lots of information before we arrived to make the check in easy and answered any question which came to mind while we planned and enjoyed our trip. Thank you so much Nicki. We would love to return on our next trip to Maui!
