Kahana Beach Resort occupies a quiet beachfront spot between Kaanapali and Kahana. There are many restaurants and shops within a short driving distance. The main town, Lahaina, is about 20 min away.
2. Rooms
Studios are decorated with light, airy, natural finishes in blonde woods, bamboo, shell stone and granite. The furniture is accented with classic Hawaiian fabrics.
The kitchenette is clean and highly functional, with features like glass cooktop, oven, refrigerator, microwave, plenty of cabinets and cookware.
The beach will be very close to your room, you can hear the pound of the surf at night.
3. Restaurants
There are quite a few restaurants and cafes located within 1-2 miles from the condo. Here are our 4 favorite places:
1) North Beach Grille – 2.3 miles away, located at the Embassy Vacation Resort
Great oceanfront dining with Pacific Rim specialties like Garlic Steamed Clams, Shrimp Scampi, Seafood Brochettes, Herb Encrusted Prime Rib, Toffee Kahlua Mousse Cake and other delicacies. They also have a kids menu.
2) Beach Club Restaurant – 1.7 miles away, at ResortQuest Kaanapali Shores
This is a good restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Their macadamia nut pancakes are great. For lunch and dinner, expect classic American fare - mostly salads, burgers and fries.
3) Royal Ocean Terrace Restaurant & Lounge – 2.8 miles away, at Royal Lahaina Resort
You will enjoy tropical breezes in an open-air setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Maui’s neighboring islands. They serve breakfast and dinner, as well as lavish themed buffets on select evenings. The lounge is a popular relaxing place where you can get a tropical drink along with an appetizer.
4) Basil Tomatoes Italian Grille – 2.8 miles away, at Royal Lahaina Resort
This is the nicest restaurant at the Royal Lahaina. It overlooks the Kaanapali North Golf Course and the Kaanapali Beach. The food is very interesting, a variety of Italian specialties with Hawaiian flair, accompanied by a selection of fine wines.
Start with a Gorgonzola Salad (started with a Gorgonzola salad -- mixed greens with Gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and a cabernet sauvignon dressing), then try Fish Du Jour (like grilled swordfish over fetuccine alfredo with spinach and mushrooms), or Spicy Italian Sausage over linguini of your choice.
The prices are quite reasonable by Maui standards, with appetizers in the $7-$11 range and entrees mostly under $25. Add to that the front door parking, easy going breezy ambiance and attentive but unobtrusive service, and you've got a perfect dinner!
4. Things to do
- Beach activities
The golden sand is good, but maybe not as fine as on other parts of the island. Pristine waters invite you to swim, sail or snorkel. Waves are usually kicky enough for a great boogie board ride.
