Napili Shores Maui by Outrigger in Lahaina, HI

This modest complex of low-rise condo units sits at an enviable spot at the south end of beautiful Napili Bay. Although it is under the Outrigger banner, it does not function like a traditional hotel. For example, the front desk hours are limited, the rooms are not serviced daily, and there is no concierge that I saw. Instead, it seems as if Outrigger either owns some of the units and/or acts as a renting administrator for privately-owned condo units. Either way, the resort allows guests to rent out units for short term stays. We were able to book one of the best units in Building A, the set of units closest to the bay. Building A also adjoins the famous Gazebo Cafe, an ultra-popular casual eatery serving only breakfast and lunch. Our unit was A205, which has a spectacular view of Napili Bay from the second floor room and the lanai. See photos. The room itself is a bit dated but was clean, roomy, and super-functional. In addition to a king bed, couch, easy chair, dresser, nightstands, and flat screen TV, the unit had a well-equipped kitchen with rangetop, full-sized refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. It also had a large closet and good sized shower. We really enjoyed the extra space and kitchenette features of the room. But we did not find the pools or other common areas of the resort to be particularly attractive. There was insufficient shade around the pools. But we did like the ample free parking nearby the different buildings. And you simply cannot beat the view and setting of our room.

First off shoutout to Alex, Bobby and Naomi at the front desk. Really made our welcome so much more amazing, especially for going above and beyond for my family and my 7 month old baby. The room was clean and well stocked with toiletries and kitchen supply. Housekeeping did an amazing job preparing our room. My baby immediately started smiling and laughing as we entered the room. He definitely gave the seal of approval. This was definitely better than staying at a big luxury resort. Because of the size of the property I felt like it made room for the employees to be really personable with us. Overall highly recommend especially if you have a small family. Mahalo again Napili Shores and we will definitely be returning again. Mahalo From Kauai The Santos Ohana

What a great place. Well maintained. Lovely room with beautiful view of ocean. First time to visit island and we hit the jackpot. Families,kids and couples were all having a great time. Walk to beach and other attractions. Outdoor grills (Weber) if you feel like cooking out. Two pools if you don't like the sand. Words can't do this property justice.

Nice resort suited for family, friends and children. If you’re looking for a more upscale accommodation that is quiet and relaxing this may not be the best choice. Otherwise no issues with the hotel or the location. For a short relaxing stay this may be a good option.

Napili Shores is our go-to in Maui. The views, grounds, service and staff are incredible. It is ALWAYS the first place we try and reserve (we've been successful 4 of the 6 times we've visited Maui). It is one of the most relaxing places my wife and I have stayed at in all of our travel experiences. And the Gazebo restaurant is an added bonus; great food and great service!
