Aston Mahana at Kaanapali in Lahaina, HI

Oceanfront room on 10th floor. Large studio with full kitchen and living room area, private balcony, very quiet except for the beautiful sound of ocean waves... Vai and Karen at the front desk were WONDERFUL. Very sweet and accommodating. Truly felt like my home away from home for nine glorious days. I will absolutely return and highly recommend for anyone who's looking for a serene, tropical escape. No restaurants or bars in hotel, which keeps it peaceful, but plenty within a very short walking distance into town or down ocean boardwalk to several other resorts. This property appears to be closer to the ocean than any of the other hotels which make the floor to ceiling views of the water, sky and sunsets truly breathtaking. Every room has an oceanfront view. This was my first visit to Maui and so thrilled I found such a gem. Mahalo Aston Mahana :) Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2019

We had a great time in Maui and loved our stay at the Aston Mahana. The condo style rooms were great for buying food and storing in the fridge for meals you want to have on hand as well as doing laundry and hanging out in more space than just a room.

Aston Mahana is a condominium complex. We have always stayed at a Resort before, but this time we decided to stay at a Condo. This place is RIGHT on the beach. Every room has a view and what a view! They have studios, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedrooms. We had a Studio ocean view room with King-size bed. The room had a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, and daily maid service. We were able to stay 6 nights with only carry-on luggage, since we had our own washer and dryer. The room was decorated very nicely and we had coffee everyday in our room. The one thing I found out is that each condo is owned by a different person, so each room can be decorated differently and have different amenities. My only complaint was the bed in room 812. It was kind of lumpy. I think the owners need to purchase a more comfortable bed. The pool was gorgeous and right next to the beach. The Aston Mahana was definitely a great place to stay with awesome service! We would definitely stay there again when in Maui!

Wish I could give it more that 5 stars! My husband and I stayed in Unit 406. It was beautiful. The view walking in through the door is breath taking. It was a perfect place to spend or 50th Anniversary. Furnishings are great, and bed is very comfortable. It is a privately owned condo, you can rent through Virbo. Highly recommended this condo.

Stayed in unit 202 for a week, booked as part of a package through Costco. Chose this particular hotel as every unit has a full ocean view, condo-style with cooking and laundry, and balance of quiet location not too far from beaches, activities, and restaurants. Felt safe and comfortable at all times. We chose a premium studio unit which meant upgraded furnishings, linens, etc. While there were a few paint chips and some older fixtures, I would say in general it lived up to the definition of upgraded. There could have been more in the way of bowls, etc for cooking and could have used more basics (such as salt & pepper shakers). The kitchen is galley style and a bit of a tight fit but worked just fine for two people. Newer appliances and all in great working order. The AC worked great which was important !! Others have mentioned amenities such as snorkel equipment, beach chairs, etc. We didn’t have these but I guess it varies based on owner and/or what previous guests leave behind. Lots of places nearby where you can buy or rent. Loved the idea of an included DVD rental system but couldn’t get it to work despite following the provided instructions. Lots of tv channels and easy to relax in the unit after a day of fun and sun. Front desk staff ranged from apparent disinterest and moving in slow motion to very friendly and efficient. The pool and grounds were very well kept. Housekeeping, landscapers, and maintenance staff did a great job. Well-maintained grills and nearby seating available. Absolutely loved the view though if I stay again will ask for a higher floor. It was so nice having breakfast on the lanai with one of the best views in the world before our eyes. Free parking right out front, and lots of it. The hotel makes it clear in advance that they don’t have a restaurant on-site and that the beach directly in front of the hotel has been eroded. These things are very minor issues in my mind as a quick walk or drive will provide many excellent options for both. Full range grocery store and a lot with food trucks a block away. We didn’t partake but they invite you to a breakfast hosted by their concierge to introduce you to the island and provide ideas for activities. They make it clear that it’s not a timeshare sales pitch and are not pushy at all. The pictures and online description were very accurate with respect to the unit we stayed in.
