Hilton Vacation Club Ka'anapali Beach Maui

10/10 Excellent

"None"

Napili Shores Maui by OUTRIGGER

10/10 Excellent

"Our second time at Napili Shores. We were last here in 2014. We came back to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. We had booked a studio but were presently surprised with a one-bedroom unit. Whenever we had a request for more supplies like coffee or shampoo, the Front desk was extremely responsive. We even requested a late check out that was accepted at the very last minute. As stated by my last review of Napili Shores, if you're looking for an all-inclusive resort experience, this is not the place. If you're looking for a nicely stocked condo on beautiful grounds as a base in West Maui, Napili Shores fits the bill. Very pleasantly surprised with the stores in Napili Plaza just up the road.. Napili Market never disappoints with the fresh poke by weight at the deli counter, Excellent Ramen at Dang Dang Noodle and Filipino fusion at Joey's Kitchen. Napili remains one of our favourite places and we look forward to visiting again."
