Outrigger Royal Kahana Resort - Maui, USA     

We booked at the Royal Kahana with a little trepidation, based on the reviews we’d read, but were pleasantly surprised. We had an ocean-view 1-bedroom (an ocean view is the only way to stay in Hawaii, in our opinion) and it was great. We had a spectacular view of Molokai and the channel between us. The building is a bit dated (as is just about everything in Kahana) but our unit had been updated over the years. It wasn't the Ritz, but it was very nicely furnished, clean, comfortable, and fully equipped. We had a full kitchen, stackable washer/dryer (soap was provided), iron and board, TVs with cable (for a couple of lazy afternoons with the air-conditioning) and the closet was loaded with beach “toys” (snorkel gear, boogie boards, even pop coolers). The beach was clean and for the most part, free of debris. We had one especially windy day that blew up more-than-average wood and rocks, but that was it—every other day was a very easy day for swimming or just walking up and down the sand. The immediate area could do with a few more restaurants. There are a few around, but Lahaina Town is a short drive from the Outrigger, so finding lunch/dinner was never a problem (we ate breakfast in the condo to save some money and calories). The service also was good. Housekeeping was attentive and the front-desk personnel professional and helpful. The gal at the Expedia counter helped us book a couple of tours that we found ourselves interested in and we didn’t feel like we’d gotten rooked. We still have Kauai and the Big Island on our to-do list, but expect to come back to Maui at some point and would definitely make reservations there again.

just returned from our trip to maui and we stayed at the royal kahana.we stayed on the 7th floor and our room was so nice and clean. view was so beautiful. if you need a hotel that doesn't cost an arm and leg this one is it. true it does need a little painting here and there but for the price i think this one is okay . front desk service was wonderful,ladies were really sweet and helpful. maid service was good! extra towels needed and they delivered quickly.. no bugs seen!! thanks you royal kahana! and we will return to your hotel.
