Old-fashioned and authentic, the Kaanapali Beach Hotel
separates itself from competitors by stressing the small
things. You won't find high-rise towers or gimmicky tie-ins
here – the Kaanapali Beach vacation resort is regarded
throughout the island as a place for people who have come
to Maui for more than just classic
beaches. At Kaanapali, you will get a crash
course in Hawaiian culture and history
and the most traditional cuisine you’ll find at
any Maui beach hotel.
Located in Lahaina, as many
Maui resorts are, the Kaanapali
Beach Hotel is pretty straight forward with its focus
on island values. The staff is renowned as the friendliest
and most knowledgeable in town, and the hotel offers a
multitude of classes on different facets of Hawaiian culture.
The Hawaiiana programs at Kaanapali Beach Club include
ukulele lessons, lauhala weaving, hula dancing and many
others. One of the best parts of visiting a new
place is getting to know a little bit about how
other cultures interact, and these programs will help
you come away from the island with a deeper appreciation
for the Hawaii's rich history.
This Kaanapali Beach vacation resort is also widely
known for its fantastic dining choices. If you’ve
never had a loco moco, a helping of poi, kalua pig, or
anything made with taro, then this is the first place
you should visit. The unique flavors and styles of Hawaii
reflect the various immigrant populations that have made
their way to the islands – thus popular Hawaiian
cuisine has adapted to include favorite dishes from China,
Japan, Portugal
and the Philippines, all flavored with Hawaiian flare.
And the Kaanapali Beach Hotel will serve up the best,
guaranteed. Dinner can also be accentuated by the Magical
Dinner Show, a magic act that captivates young and old
alike.
The rooms themselves are spacious and filled with all
kinds of wicker decorations – and the beachfront
cottages that can be rented are divided from Kaanapali
Beach by mere footsteps. And its fortuitous location in
Lahaina means you have easy access to the rest of the
city, and island as well. So if you need a break from
the beach and are interested in getting out and seeing
the sights of Maui, there’s few better places to
be than here. Golf courses,
volcanoes, hiking, biking
and a hundred other activities are just minutes away –
another reason why this Kaanapali Beach vacation resort
is one of the island’s most entertaining lodging
options on all of Maui.
