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.

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.

Vacation with friends

Great location, friendly and very helpful staff. Stayed in the huts and was very comfortable. Drinks and food were somewhat expensive, but there are other options nearby.

Beautiful, inviting and comfortable resort

I have stayed at the Royal Lahaina three different times and am always so pleased with everything about the resort. It is in a perfect location, is comfortable in every way, has all the amenities one would need or desire, and is staffed by exceedingly helpful and friendly staff. I always recommend this resort to others who are planning to travel to Maui.

Good resort on great beach

We only stayed for two nights, but it was clean, quiet, and a great staff. Also did the Luau at this resort and it was interactive. The food at the luau was average. Nice beach bar overlooking both the beach and pool is great. Happy hour starts at 2pm.

Good Place to Stay in Lahaina

This is a lovely resort. My only complaint is that the bar & restaurant, which are otherwise good, could stay open later at night for better service. The rooms and views are very nice.

Do not stay in cottages

When I booked with this hotel, I booked the Aloha Saver which I thought It was in the tower, instead I was in the Garden Cottages. This cottage needed fixed desperately. You walk in a sm. entry way then you have 5 inches between the bed and the wall to get to the "bed" area. The bathroom was a mess! Bathroom faucet was leaking, it was hard to turn the cold off, shower was either steaming hot or freezing cold. Maid forgot to clean our room a couple of times, they ran out of wash clothes and hand towels. The towels had dark spots, see through and had holes. We were not able to upgrade because it would have cost us a lot more. I was very disappointed, I did talk to the hotel manager and he refund the parking fees only. As for the tower and rest of the hotel I can't say, but would I return to stay at the Royal Lahaina - NO....

It's ok

Stay away from those cottages, they can sure use some update. Also, there were lots of ants.... Maybe the tower rooms are better.

Lovely and relaxing

Staff were really nice and friendly, valet and bell were helpful regarding tourist attractions and suggestions. Rooms in the cottages were great; apparently the rooms in the tower have been remodeled and the cottages are in holding due to the slow economy. Loved staying in the cottage vs. the tower though, it was located on beautiful grounds covered in lush hawaiian flowers and plants, with paths throughout where people jogged and walked all day. Big plantation shutter doors open up to a porch with a table, chairs and lounge chair to enjoy a coffee in the morning watching the sky turn light blue. Beach was located just a few steps away, and the cottages made the stay seem very peaceful, a real getaway. Get the frosty beverage in a pineapple from the restaurant bar while sitting out at the pool or beach. Totally makes your day! I gave amenities a 4 because I didn't really use much, I just kind of lounged and relaxed, but it looked like they had everything you'd like. Lots of watersports and day trips from which to choose.
