Aston Mahana at Kaanapali Condo

We stayed at the Mahana in #1107...the unit itself was great. Very clean and updated...laundry in the unit and supplies for the beach. Pool area is nice and parking was never an issue. The view is outstanding...

We stayed at the Mahana in March/April 2021 for a week and had a fabulous time. The location to the beach is the closest on the island and it felt as you could touch the ocean from the room. While there isn’t a beach to layout on (because the resort is that close to the beach) you can walk 3 minutes (literally 3 minutes at most) and have the full Ka’annapali beach to layout as you wish. The room view from the room was the most incredible ever. I would highly recommend the Mahana and would plan to stay here again.

Absolutely loved this place. Amazing waterfront views from your lanai, which is so close to the ocean it feels like you’re darn near on top of it. We saw whales, seals and sea turtles right from our patio. Beautiful rainbows and incredible sunsets every single night. The grounds are pretty nice too with beautiful, lush gardens in the front. The whole place had a kind of quiet tucked away vibe even though it’s actually pretty darn close to everything. Most everything you could need as far as a grocery store, coffee shop, quick eats, etc. is within easy walking distance. The downsides meant very little to us but they might to others. First, there are not very many amenities and the pool area is quite basic. Second there is very little beachfront, like maybe 5-10ft wide. Third it’s pretty windy (though the lanais are very well protected). Fourth, there aren’t many sit-down restaurants or bars nearby, though Duke’s (right next door) is quite good. Most everything is a short drive away but if you truly want to be right smack in the middle of it all you may have to go a little further south along kaanapali beach. We liked this as it added to the relaxing retreat vibe, but others may be looking for something different. We’ll definitely consider this property again should we return to Maui, and will recommend it to our friends. Thanks for the great stay.

We booked the Aston Mahana because of their flexibility with cancelation. The proximity to the ocean was the best out of all the other resorts we looked at. They are very mask "crazy" which was annoying since we were outside and the wind was blowing.

I’ve stayed at the Mahana two times in the past. It’s still definitely one of my favorites. I do have to say the unit that we were given this time was not as nice as the units I’ve had the last two times. There was some ongoing construction that I asked to be away from, so I know the selection that they had to choose from wasn’t the same as usual. My companion and I also got some insect bites. I want to be clear that I don’t believe there were bugs in the unit. There was something in the surrounding environment. However that has never happened to me before in Hawaii, I think during Covid, the upkeep of spraying schedules around the resorts were probably not what they normally are. I still love the view, the peacefulness and the well-stocked units. I would still definitely stay here again.
