AEI at Maui Kaanapali Villas Resort

You can walk to a huge grocery store, a cluster of food trucks, and little shops, while the resort itself feels tucked away from the busy road. The grounds are full of greenery, and the rooms are spacious. There are two pools, a big hot tub, activities, beach rentals, and even a private stretch of shore. They also lend out DVDs. It felt like our own secluded oasis. If you're considering a stay in Maui, I'd book here.

Castaway, the restaurant on site, was a real plus for us since we kept running into disappointing food elsewhere. We enjoyed our stay at the AEI, and it made the trip even nicer. The condo was handy for keeping snacks and basics, with Safeway just a short drive up the road. A few miles north, we found a beautiful cove and snorkeled there, spotting fish and three turtles. We brought underwater cameras, but haven't gotten the photos developed yet. Maui was wonderful, and we'd happily recommend this place.

The staff were warm and courteous, and the place felt comfortable and very well cared for. I was impressed by how clean it was and by the modern kitchen equipment and decor. The location is ideal, too. I’ve stayed at several Caribbean resorts, and this was much better. I’d recommend it and come back. 👌

I had a very unpleasant encounter with a male employee who showed absolutely no respect for anyone. The surrounding facilities also need better cleaning. I noticed lots of marks beside the door and in other spots around the complex.
