Outrigger Royal Kahana

Condo was nice grounds and pool area. However unit 312 was horrible. The AC was not blowing right and would not go any lower than 75 degrees. The jalesoy(sp?) windows were open with no way to close them so what air you did have would escape.

Sweating in bed at night but reminded at every window to keep doors and windows closed while AC was on was not a pleasant stay. We stayed from 4/23 to 5/5. Actually writing review while still in unit which is a first for me. I would just like the traveling public to know that there are better places around. I'm just upset that I prepaid for it expecting a good experience.

Complained a few times but was told by the houseman chap they sent up that the owners know about it but yet won't do anything about the AC. Just very dated and worn down, dirty carpeting, funky layout and lack of air while sleeping was just absurd for the price you pay.

The view was awesome! The condo was nice and roomy. The furniture was a bit dated but otherwise, the condo was clean and comfortable.

We have stayed at the Royal Kahana hotel for the past three vacations. They have revamped the hotel and the rooms and they are great. The rates were very good, less than I paid the last time we were there. An advice for tourists would be to always get a car, if you can. You can see more and make sure when you park in the Kahana hotel parking lot that you park between the lines or they will cite you.

Royal Kahana is 10 minutes north of kaanapali resort area and 12-15 minutes north of lahaina town. make a left from highway 30 when you see a McDonalds.

This hotel is right in front of the beach but the beach has a lot of rocks in the water and the shore is narrow. You can check out other nearby beaches such as kaanapali beach or Kapalua Bay beach which is great of snorkeling!

The lobby area is nice but a bit outdated, definitely needs upgrade, and renovation. next to the front desk there is expediafun concierge service where you can book your activities but they have a markup so do your research before booking.

We received the 12th floor ocean view studio cal. king size room. The room was approx 400-500 sq ft. We loved the room which had nice and cozy furniture (King size bed, round dinner table for 4 and 2 straw recliner chairs as well as a dresser). The kitchen is equipped with fridge, microwave and stove. With all kitchen utensils, pots and pans, blender, coffee maker, drainer etc and other small kitchen food items (salt and pepper, sugar, coffee).

The washer and dryer was nice and they offer only 1 free sample detergent packet. If you have more laundry you would have to buy another packet for $1 at the front desk.

The big downfall of this room was the bathroom which was unappealing because of the chipped paint and mildew growing on the side tub walls. Housekeeping would need to scrub harder!! The shower wouldn't work to well at times.

The TV was approximately 20 inches. The funny thing they have a VCR instead of a DVD player. No joke! Lahnai had a great view of the ocean and the Maui hills very scenic! However, view may be impaired by the neighboring hotel towers pending on the floor and room location.

Housekeeping and the front desk staff were very friendly and responsive to our requests and questions. There is convenient area where you can find a mini strip mall with an outback steakhouse, seafood restaurant, Maui dive shop, coffee shop and a discount store.

I liked the kitchen facilities, the outdoor barbeque, the washer and the dryer and the location overall.
