Guests can explore the Kaanapali Historical Trail, a self-guided 10-stop walking tour. The hotel is near Kapalua Coastal Trail, and Honokeana Bay.

Services & Amenities

The daily facility fee includes local and toll-free calls, local shuttle service within the Kaanapali Resort area, self-parking, shell lei greeting upon arrival, pool and beach towel use, and Wi-Fi.

“The bungalows offer space and privacy, especially appealing for families, and place you steps from what's widely considered the best beach in Kaanapali. Kitchenettes are well-stocked and encourage a more relaxed, self-catered vacation. While the pools are modest, the proximity to the ocean and complimentary amenities-no resort fees here-lean towards a more authentic Hawaiian experience.”
