Easy beach access Live music every night Magic/comedy show every Tuesday night(fee) Spa service (fee) 2 pools Restaurant on site $$$ small portions but good Gym acess Beach walk path Castaway breakfast spot next door ( my favorite) Luau on site My only negative about this place was they charge you for parking ! You came back and had to circle around to wait for someone leaving parking is free if you are attending the luau ! I felt not enough spaces to accommodate ( golf course ,luau,guest,pickle ball tournament ect Trolley acess to take you to the whaler which had some restaurants / shopping

Royal Lahaina is a beautiful resort with the most helpful and gracious staff. The bungalows are tasteful and comfortable. We are booked for a return trip next February. I can’t say enough good things about the hotel manager and her people. We are looking forward to seeing them again soon.

Although my stay was only for 1 night, it was very pleasant. Every staff member was awesome, and you can’t beat the location/ view. Every aspect of this resort is amazing, from the restaurant/ poolside bar and the pet friendly atmosphere

Great hotel and feels authentic to the island. Not a corporate cut and paste. Also had great food options, ice cream shop, coffee shop, cardio room, and weight room with a squat rack

We had stayed here about 10 years ago and had a good experience, so we were really looking forward to coming back for our second visit to Maui. When we arrived, we were greeted by Gina, who was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, welcoming, and made a great first impression. We decided to book an oceanfront room on the 12th floor. Unfortunately, the room was not what I expected and definitely needed to be updated. The sink, in particular, was disgusting. We requested a room change, and the resort was able to move us to a room a couple of floors down. The second room was much better, but honestly, I still don't feel it was worth what we paid. The views, however, are absolutely beautiful on a sunny day! There is also plenty of parking, which was convenient. The lobby was clean, although there is only one small boutique store with very limited options. There is also an ice cream shop right outside the lobby with some additional snack options. The resort offers a luau, which was nice, although I wouldn't say it was the best we've experienced. The food was delicious, though, and the servers were wonderful. The pool bar was another highlight. The Pineapple Moon drinks were great and definitely worth trying! The restaurant at the resort was average. The patio area outside the restaurant also needs some updating. Our stay included breakfast, and honestly, it reminded me more of a continental breakfast, with an omelet station as the main addition. The resort also has a little nightlife spot called The Branches, which we really enjoyed. It's a nice place to relax after dinner and have a drink. The bar has great drinks, and the bartender was awesome. It was a perfect way to wind down in the evening without having to leave the resort. Unfortunately, our stay also coincided with Hurricane Lala hitting the island. We lost power for about 16 hours, which we completely understood and certainly don't blame the resort for. However, I was disappointed with how little the resort did for its guests during the outage. I remember seeing a guest in the lobby with her Keurig, trying to make coffee. The lobby still had power, so you would think the resort could at least have provided coffee and water for guests in the lobby. Unfortunately, they did not. Overall, there were definitely some positives to our stay — the beautiful views, friendly staff, delicious luau food, pool bar, and The Branches were all highlights. However, the resort is showing its age and really needs some updates. We were hoping for a better experience based on our previous stay 10 years ago. It's a great location with a lot of potential, but considering the price, I'm not sure we would stay here again or recommend it to others.
