Here is our Kaanapali Beach Club Review:
The Kaanapali Beach Club Maui (formerly the popular Embassy Suites Maui) is now a time-share resort. They offer a few rooms for general reservations, primarily to present the property to prospective time-share buyers like you. The Kaanapali Beach Club offers 1 bedroom mini-suite accommodations. The comfort of the units is the attraction. The rooms have separate bedrooms, large screen entertainment centers, wet-bar, and microwave ovens. The pool is a big attraction of the resorts. The huge pool has a fun water slide which is fun for the kids.
The Kaanapali Beach Club is currently updating the units for private ownership, so contruction is taking place. The transition has been somewhat smooth, however certain aspects of the operations still need to be worked out.
Facilities: 413 mini-suites, 12 Floors, Air conditioning, 1 Acre Pool, Jacuzzi, 2 Restaurants & Bar, Exercise Room, Sauna
This is a time-share resort. You will probably receive the "pitch" for ownership.

Remarks:
"We loved this resort! Very friendly and helpful staff. Buffet breakfast was included, and was delicious. Huge variety and custom made omlets. Cover your food with a napkin if you get up from the table, the little sparrows fly in and eat your breakfast otherwise! I loved it! We saw whale spouts from the restaurant and rainbows many times. The pool is wonderful, the lounges have cushions! The suites are so large, and its great having a bedroom separate from the living area. There was a large plasma tv in each room too. Each room has a glass door leading to the patio. We loved the full-sizes refrigerator, sink, microwave, etc. The grocery across the street is convenient and nice for buying drinks, ice cream,etc. The snack bar by the pool is great also. We could get a kids cheesburger and fries for $2.00! And it was a good juicy cooked to order burger too." - Lane from Seattle, Washington

Remarks:
"All I can say is what a bunch of whiners! I have stayed at this Resort many times and I have ALWAYS found the staff to be nothing but helpful and courteous right down to the maintenance staff!! The front desk has been especially friendly. I think some people just get what they give!! The beach is awesome, you can snorkel with turtles right in front of the resort. Whale watch from the resort in the winter, or sit by the poolside restaurant/bar and enjoy the sunset. Lots of golf, shopping or dining nearby. All rooms are large suites. Concierge Staff will help you book any activities you would like."

Remarks:
"My husband and I loved Kaanapali Beach Club. The rooms were nice and loved the roomy bathroom. Very clean too. Our room had a beatiful view. It was overlooking the pool and ocean. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The location was great and loved everything the hotel had to offer. Wonderful resturant there. The breakfast buffet was very good and had a great selection and gorgeous view. We ate there for dinner and the food was delicious and the staff there was great to us. The pool was nice, loved the waterfall! Everywhere you looked was beautiful. There was a lovely area there where you can take pictures. It was a garden of flowers and a nice gazebo.It was very peaceful there. Wish we didnt have to pay $13.00 a day to park, but that wouldnt stop us from going back there. It was a trip we will never forget and Kaanapali Beach Club helped us enjoy our stay to the fullest." - Tim & Christa from Hood River, Oregon

Remarks:
"I have stayed at the resort many times. I own a time share there (which is for sale if your off our rocker enough to want to purchase it). When this resort was run as an Embassy Suites it was exceptional, except for the overpriced main resturant. Last few times there the staff at the front desk was difficult to work with. They have been building and remodling for years, youll get the pleasure of waking up to skill saws and grinders. The beach has eroded away and the staff is more concerened with getting your money than with providing you a quality experience. Watch out for the night dive they offer its really wretched. For what they are asking you can do better renting the condo next door." - Eric from Hood River, Oregon

Remarks:
"I have stayed at the Embassy Kanapali Beach Club numerous times since 1995 and my latest stay was in September of 2006. I absolutely love the hotel and location which is close to Lahaina and the shopping and restaurants. Maui is my all-time favorite vacation spot and the Embassy Kanapali Beach Club has always filled my expectations of clean and comfortable accommodations. I have booked a trip to Maui this coming October 3rd and will be staying again at the Embassy Kanapali Beach Club for a week with my sister and 3 neices. We are looking forward to a wonderful time and great accommodations. We have booked 2 rooms for our stay. I know that we will be treated wonderfully during our stay. I cannot say enough about the hotel. October cannot come soon enough for me."

"This was truly the Garden of Eden for me. Everyone was great...and Happy Hour was wonderful. We had a bit of a problem with some noise coming from them doing construction. My husband asked the manager to move us to another room and they moved us to the penthouse suite. OMG, how can you beat that. To be honest with you, I felt so bad when I had to leave. Great job!" - Ruby & Ben from Detroit, Michigan

Remarks:
"Although I have read mixed reviews, at the end of the day I think its what you choose to make of your experiences. The Kaanapali Beach Club is a great mix of old school Hawaii and modern. Loved the large pool area and location of the resort. The ambience is that of relaxation and the grounds are conducive to just that. With Koi ponds and lush landscaping and panaramic ocean views, it is hard to beat for the price! Also, we found the staff and service to be friendly. Yes, the elevators run slow, very slow. However, the suites are roomy and very accomodating. I have stayed in many 5-star hotels throughout the USA with high end accomodations and will tell you that while this is slighlty old school; it still is Maui! We loved it and would reccommend to most anyone. Incidentally, the hotel/condo is under renovation and some of the rooms are first class! Very satisfied customer! ."

" It was a dream come true. The staff was very nice, rooms very comfortable and clean. The pool was wonderful. The hot tub was a little small for the size of the hotel. Had to wait your turn to lounge in it at night. Other than that, I have no complaints. I hope to be fortunat to visit again soon." - Theresa from Selmer, Tenn

Remarks:
"For the most part, our stay here was "ok." The biggest problem was that the elevators were not in working. There are 2 elevators in each tower, and one was out in each the entire time we were there and they prefer that you not use the stairs by making them hard to locate and then putting signs on the doors that they are emergency exits only or that the door is to remain closed. We spent a good 45 minutes a day waiting to go up and down elevators! Not the way we wanted to spend our time in Maui. The kids club, Beach Buddies was something we had thought our children could enjoy while we were there, but it was closed the entire time as well, with no explanation! We found the maid service reprehensible. They were doing fine until there was a day that they didnt show up and I asked as to why at the front desk (very politely); the cleaning lady showed up within a couple of hours, but when we returned to the room the tv remote was gone, and then the rest of our stay the maids would leave the room clean, but would either turn the thermostat all the way up to 85 or down to 55 - very unprofressional. There was only one person on the staff that was helpful, but we could never find her, most others either ignored us or were rude. I didnt realize that this was all happening because we were hotel guests and not owners. I will not stay here again nor recommend to others." - Elissa from San Jose, California
