The Royal Lahaina Resort spreads across 27 tropically landscaped acres fronting Maui’s famed Kaanapali Beach, one of Maui’s best winter whale watching sites. The hotel embraces Hawaii’s beloved plantation era with vintage-style garden and beachfront bungalows and plentiful coconut palms. The newly refurbished guest rooms and suites in the Royal Lahaina Resort’s 12-story tower offer an understated Hawaiian elegance. Guests are a short stroll from the area’s best shopping and dining complex.

My husband and I had an amazing get away at The Royal Lahina Resort. The views were breathtaking, the food delicious and a treat for the eyes, and the staff were courteous and efficient. It was difficult to leave. We would definitely stay again.

If you book activities through the hotel's activity center by the pool or purchase sunglasses etc they will give you free cabana chairs which normally cost $35.00 per day. These are the cushioned canvas covered chairs to add protection from the sun.

Excellent stay!!!!! Service top notch!!!

This hotel is in a prime location near black rock. It has beautiful hotel grounds that are well kept up and clean.The beach in front of the hotel is great, soft sand and not very crowded like the other side of black rock. We received the best service the minute we entered the hotel. We received an upgrade to an ocean view room free of charge. It was so beautiful from our private balcony in the tower. Pools were warm and clean with plenty of beach chairs around the pool and in the lawn area ( not much shade though). Attended the luau at the hotel and was pleasantly surprised after reading such mixed reviews. We had the best experience ever in Maui and I would highly recommend this hotel for the amenities and stellar service they provide. I can't wait to go back and stay at the Royal Lahaina again! Mahalo!!

Great Hotel

I had a great experience at this hotel. I stayed in the Tower, and had a view of the ocean. I thought the staff was friendly, and ameneties clean and very nice. The food in the restaurant was great too. My friends stayed in the Cottages, and I would rate their room a 2-star. Their room was vastly different than mine in quality & decor. It was almost like a different hotel. So if you want a great experience - make sure you stay in the TOWER ROOMS.

Royal Lahaina Resort , It doesnt get any better

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a Aloha. The hotel was built in the 60s and the renovations were great. Still has the classic dark wood look. Check in was a breeze at noon went to our room on the 5th floor. We had a partial view of the ocean and golf course. We never went inside the cottage but the grounds surround them were spotless. The pools are fine and you are literally steps away from the Ocean. We went to the Luau and it was an excellent show. The food we well prepared and better then the Old Lahaina Luau. For amenities, I did not come to maui to sit in a gym or play on my IPAD. if this is what you want to do, then the Royal Lahaina is not for you. My idea is to see what this beautiful location has to offer. I also was waiting to see what the problem with the parking lots was. THERE is none. The longest it took me to walk was about three minutes from the back lot through nicely landscaped property. The stalls are small..but who cares you are in maui. overall, i would never hesitate to come back. one of the best vacations i have ever had. tip..eat the ribs by the pool

Unfriendly staff, sneaky parking charges

Prepare to pay $10 per day parking charges and spend an average 5 to 10 minutes looking for a parking space. The safe (locker) in room did not work. You have to pay for internet too. The staff is very unfriendly and rude.

Great for couples

We had a great, relaxing time in Maui. The Royal Lahaina has a great beach right at the hotel, but you will need a car if you want to explore on your own. Be sure to check out a snorkeling trip! In our mid-twenties, we were a much younger couple than most. We had fun, but we usually stayed up late. Note that the pool and other amenities may close early (5pm).
