Great RCI resort stay in Lāhainā! Room was clean, fully stocked with all items needed for our stay! Right on the ocean, with as great ocean view restaurant (Captain Jack’s). It was a relaxing, quiet environment, with a great staff that was attentive to our needs.

Rooms were spacious and included everything we needed. The hotel is old but good value for money given the room sizes and location. It is 10 mins away from Kannapali beaches.

Great property, restaurant accommodates allergy requests (I am celiac and have a shellfish allergy and ate there 3 times without getting sick). Great beach access and very nice spacious condo - we stayed in the 3 bedroom). Overall a great experience!

Amazing view. Great space. Quiet beach. Great food at Captain Jacks. We visited family members staying in other resorts on the island and saw first hand the Great value here comparatively to others. Very friendly staff, and helpful concierge services. Always greeted with a smile and offer to help in any way. Easy to navigate everything needed for an incredible stay!

I had a great stay at Hands of Kahana. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check‑in was smooth, the instructions were easy to follow, and there was plenty of parking available. The kitchen was well equipped, and there were more than enough towels provided. The night receptionist was also very nice and welcoming.
We also visited Captain Jack’s — the food wasn’t great, but the service was good, and Eric took good care of us.
Overall, it was a pleasant and hassle‑free experience

The condo we stayed in was nice and it was massive. The restaurant on site is so good and the pools and beach access was nice! I didn’t have a problem with this because of the time of year, but there isn’t A/C in the units, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for that or your trip is in the warmer months.
