"In contrast to the hotel-style Westin, this elegant condo complex is so enormous it has two separate lobbies." Full review
"Abundant resort amenities and pools are notable at these luxury villas just north of Black Rock (Puu Kekaa) along the beach in Kaanapali." Full review
4.5
"A "gorgeous", "upscale" oceanfront condo/resort near Lahaina, this "family-oriented" property (with kids' club and pirate-ship pool) offers "easy access" to the beach and "great" snorkeling."
"Here the best villas feature unforgettable ocean views of neighboring Lanai and Molokai --- and then there are those glorious Maui sunsets from the spacious lanais."
"For a sprawling resort, the Westin Ka’anapali manages to exude calm...Ka’anapali’s location adds to the serenity: It's a few yards from a blissfully underused stretch of one the best beaches in Hawaii." Full review
