Przejrzane przez @familiesflyfree: I took the family to Westin Maui and we loved it. The kids were obsessed with the flamingos in the lobby and the water slide! My favorite part was sipping coffee on our balcony looking right at the ocean. It felt updated, clean, and perfectly located on the beach.

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is the hotel open after the fires?
Yes, fully open and operational. The resort area of Ka'anapali was largely physically untouched, though the nearby town of Lahaina was devastated.
Is the Hokupa'a upgrade worth it?
100% yes. The included breakfast, private bar, and infinity pool access make it the only way to get a 'luxury' feel here.
How bad is the parking fee?
Painful. Self-parking is ~$45/night and valet is ~$55/night. There is no free street parking nearby.
Can I use the pool if I arrive early?
Yes, they will give you a hospitality key card to access the pool and changing rooms before your room is ready.
Is it adults-only?
No, it is very family-heavy. However, there is a dedicated adults-only pool deck that is strictly monitored.
Do I need to book pool chairs?
Officially, no. Unofficially, if you don't put a towel down by 7:30 AM, you will be in the back row.
