Great Location, Pool underwhelming.
Q651JRchristopher on Nov 30, 2025
Great location and very nice staff. Big negative is the pool experience. About half the people there this week don’t actually stay at the hotel. Makes it so overcrowded since they don’t enforce the wristbands. single hot tub is packed too. For the money, they really need to fix up the pool and the experience around it. Always been a great spot
Storied resort with unique location next to black rock

The Sheraton was one of the original hotels built here in the early 1960s. My wife and I celebrated my birthday and our 32nd anniversary here in room 6404 Moana building. When we were checking in I said the most important thing to me is that we have a really good view of the ocean. We did pay for oceanfront but I felt I had to say it anyway. She said not to worry. The view didn't disappoint. Our room basically faced straight onto the ocean. We could see black rock to the left and the nightly ceremony as well as the little snorkeling area just to the right of it. We could see rays and turtles from our room. And since it faces directly west, the sunsets were amazing. The first night we slept with the sliding door open and just listened to the sound of the ocean. Heaven. These rooms are part of the original hotel. The hotel underwent a massive renovation in the 90s that expanded it. The one downside to being in these oceanfront buildings are they are very far from the (new) lobby. You have to take multiple elevators and walk quite a bit. Our room had plenty of space and a mini fridge and coffee maker. There was a microwave, but we didn't use it. The bathroom is large, but it could use some better ventilation. You generate so many wet towels when you're swimming all the time that it just gets very humid in the bathroom . We ate at most of the restaurants and overall the food was good not great. Everything is fresh. That's not the issue. It's just not served in an upscale manner. You're often using plastic utensils. Room service is very quick though. The beach is big and wide. It's not suffering the erosion that some of the resorts have experienced at the southern end of Kaanapali Beach. Another recommendation would be more rinsing stations as you come off the beach. There's only one and it has very little pressure and only a few heads on it. There's often a line. We liked being out on the point so to speak with our room. It felt much more secluded than I imagine other parts of the hotel must feel. You don't hear anything butT the ocean. As I said, heaven. Housekeeping service was also excellent. Oh, one more thing. I told them they desperately need to upgrade the phone system. It must be from the renovation in the 90s. I would def stay again. FYI there is some historic footage of the two first hotels in a documentary from 1964. Search "Ka'anapali, Maui in 1964" on YouTube. Hilarious footage of men in full ties and jackets at dinner and women watching a fashion show at the resort.
