Kaanapali beach is an absolute dream and this resort is very well placed for lazy beach days. We found the closer you got to black rock the busier it became with kids and snorkelers but our little stretch of beach was never overcrowded (in late April 2022 at least). The sunsets from the beach were spectacular and the ocean was wonderful! The unit itself was great, felt clean, quiet and safe. Loved having an umbrella for beach day uses, all the kitchen and laundry needs: coffee maker, dishes, detergents, towels, etc. the bed was nice and big and comfortable, drapes cut out all of the light for sleeping in, lanai was wonderful with a good view of the beach to the left. The resort was also able to offer beach towels, access to showers and held our bags for us on the day of check out (which is sooo helpful with an 11pm flight out!!). Would love to return one day!
