We had a hassle-free stay at Lahaina beach resort during thanksgiving for a week. The views from our room were amazing. Checkin process was very smooth. We had access to beach and the pool and jacuzzi were open till 10pm. The resort was walkable distance from a lot of food places and market where we could shop! Ample parking space and the staff were very friendly! I’d definitely recommend this place.

Decent hotel, but very much a 3 star hotel. It is pretty bare bones as far as amenities go. We had to go down to the front desk each day to ask for more coffee pods for the next morning. It was clean enough and felt safe, but it is pretty outdated overall. I was annoyed by the fact that they “can’t do daily house keeping due to covid”. The lack of clean towels and lack of automatic coffee restock was disappointing. Every other hotel I’ve stayed at in the past 6 months has gone back to the typical daily house keeping regimen. Lahaina shores is in a great location on the beach and walking distance to all of the fun stuff on front street. The ocean view room has amazing views of the ocean with dreamy sunset views. If we would have stayed in a Mountain View room I’d feel like the price of this hotel is not worth it without the view of the ocean. If you are looking to visit Maui on a budget and would like to save costs by not eating out then this hotel is great for you as they have rooms with a kitchen with a full fridge, microwave, stove and oven.

A perfect location! Walkable to all things in lahaina, convenient free parking, helpful staff. Quaint, quiet hotel with a great pool, hot tub, beach access, and grass area with plenty of lounge chairs. My wife and I went for our honeymoon and it was fantastic. They give you both beach towels and bath towels, available to replace every 3 days, or sooner if you need fresh ones. The units were updated and had everything you need. The luau (which I highly recommend going to) is every night and you can hear it if you are near, but we turned on the AC fan and it canceled most of it. A non-issue. We had a premier ocean front studio and the view was great! Kitchen had all the necessities to make some small meals. Booked all through Costco, highly recommend!

The condos are great! Clean, good sized, and plenty of extras (I.e. lawn chairs and umbrellas for the beach, pack and play for the baby, etc). 2 pools, BBQ grills, ample parking, close to the beach, grocery stores, and restaurants. I highly recommend this location if you're staying Maui.

This place was beautiful. Our room was gorgeous and site was full of life. The only reason I rated 4 stars was because there was no room service. We took out our own trash and continuously washed all our towels.

Location is very close to front and the old downtown Lahaina. Walking distance to the water. It's an older building that seems to be falling apart in some places. Our unit was downstairs and very dark. The windows were all covered with trees so we had to have the lights on all day long which was a bummer.
Air conditioning units are very loud and one did not work in the main bedroom and was not fixed till our last night.
My only other big complaint is the enormous amount of bugs that are in the room. Never ending trails of ghost ants crawling on the floor and bed. We had about 5 large roaches in our unit during our stay and the floors are pretty dirty. They provided sprays but not my type of place to stay. Will def not come back here.

Fantastic historical hotel for those that like boutique style stays. Super comfy beds. Right next to the banyan tree. Delicious restaurant downstairs. The pool is a bit cold but we preferred the beach a few blocks away. Our favorite was the lanai with rocking chairs. We traveled with our son and the fold out mini bed worked just fine. Great AC too ad nice bathroom. We loved it.

Excellent location! Staff are friendly and helpful. I would have given 5 stars, however, our bath tub faucet leaked terribly. Hopefully, it can be fixed soon so incoming guests won't get the “water torture” sound while trying to sleep. Over-all, still a great place!

I have never stayed at the hotel, but have eaten at the restaurant several times. There was a salad on the menu that I just loved ! I would have it on my 1st evening in town and again at the end of my stay. It was spinach, strawberries, macadamia nuts, feta cheese with a strawberry or raspberry vinaigrette dressing. After missing last year due to Covid, I will be back in February. I'm hoping that others have commented on it, and that they have changed back to the original version 😋🤞

Our stay at the Plantation Inn was great overall. We loved the daily breakfast. It was delicious and a ton of food. The staff was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and very welcoming. The view from our balcony was lovely and we enjoyed the amenities that we could do at the sister hotel!

Our only complaint is the ant problem that was happening in our room. There was ant spray but there needs to be a bit more pest control for the ants.

While it’s a older property it is well cared for and very clean. We both work in hospitality so notice things standard travelers do not. We were both impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness of staff. Nora was excellent and we appreciated her recommendations.

It’s in a great location making walking to Front Street super easy. Breakfast was good although it’s very limited but enjoyed not having to leave for it. The pool was enjoyable and quiet. Being an adult only property it was very peaceful and relaxing. We appreciated being able to easily access the beach at their other property. We would definitely stay again.

We weren't staying at the resorts so we took the public access path. Nice to get you feet wet. Lots of coral washed up on the sand.

Location, location, location. 1 miles from downtown which has lots of shops, restaurants, bars. .5 miles from a Safeway. 2 great sandy beaches within a few minutes drive. I was in a single person room which was the perfect size. Everything for cooking, utensils/pots/cups/plates etc. The towels were fluffy and the bed was comfy. They offer beach towels and beach gear. Every morning you can sit at the sea/rock wall and see the turtles, at night you can sit out and hear the Old Lahaina Luau in the distance. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There is no TV, Phone or AC, but with cell phones you don’t need a phone or TV. I just stayed there and didn’t need an AC, just left the windows open and fans on. The only con was the water temperature was a little tricky at times, but it’s an older building, that’s to be expected. Lots of beautiful flowers, grass, birds and plenty of seats and tables. It was a wonderful trip and can’t wait to go back and stay here again!

This was a 5 star experience! My husband and I are on our honeymoon in Maui, and was so excited to be able to experience this luau. Not my first luau, but definitely the best one I have been do. Everything was so well thought out and very personal. The table service was amazing and the food was spectacular, not something I would expect with a luau. The show was great, not too long. A great Hawaiian experience! Such a high quality show and meal.

Beautifully run. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. The sunset around this area is breathtaking too, and service was impeccable. I love the vibrance of the shows too. Two food-for-thought ideas: the main course wasn’t as outstanding as the appetizers and desserts IMO, and the couples dance which song was said is played in traditional weddings makes me wonder about the cultural appropriation of its use. Other than that, I had a lovely time and would love to return!

Enjoyed my stay here and felt this hostel provides a unique experience. The beach is right outside and a good surf spot for beginners. I really liked how it feels outdoorsy and close to nature. My room is a simple partition but not enclosed, so I wake up to the birds chirping. There is a garden in the outdoor common spaces and several cats roaming around. The staff are super friendly and work hard to keep the place clean.

I would give 5 stars if the bathrooms were a bit cleaner and had better ventilation. Otherwise I would still consider staying here again.

The location of the hostel less than 50′ away from the beach was a great bonus and a highlight to surrounding areas. The staff were fantastic and very accommodating with friendly smiles and great conversation. They work very hard to keep the hostel clean, accommodate the guests, and are always hustling to get the job done. I couldn't ask for better stay and the daily rate is very affordable and reasonable.

A great place to spend your vacation. Location is pretty much perfect, it's right on a gorgeous beach, and the workers there are all incredibly friendly. It's got a great (but not obnoxious) social vibe and we ended up making some pretty good friends in our week staying there. More than a little pricey by hostel standards, but for Hawaii it could be much worse. Highly recommend it.

This restaurant without a doubt is the best dining experience I’ve had in 27 years. Service, scenery, quality, and selection was top of the line. I will not only return, I would make a trip back almost exclusively for this experience. Highly recommend and will not come to the island without attending!

The food is outrageously delicious. The cocktails are very well done. Buddy, our waitress, did an incredible job with our party of five–she was phenomenal. Easily the best dining experience we've ever had at any restaurant, ever. World-class food and service without the stuffy atmosphere. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Safeway is my go-to and I love how our Lahaina location has evolved in the last 20 years. However, a cashier name Clarence ruins the experience. In my fair observation of 3 years, Clarence has never greeted or thanked me for shopping at Safeway. His interaction is the same with others. Clarence LACKS customer service. I hope management sees this and take action in improving his customer service skills. I'm certain Safeway takes pride in their company culture of providing a “unique shopping experience, customer-focused service and continuous innovation” because Clarence is the opposite of the company's mission statement.

Great atmosphere and pretty great food. I’m happy with the entire menu selection and drinks. Sitting on a balcony and enjoying lobster while gazing at the ocean is an amazing experience. The entire staff was great as well. However, I would be skeptical to return as there is superb food in the area for one THIRD of the price. In summary; great restaurant, good food, but the price tag does not equal the flavors I was hoping for.

Kimo’s has great fresh fish that rotates daily. They also have the best homemade carrot muffins they serve with your mask. They have some of the best coconut shrimp on the island but make sure you ask for the sweet chili sauce as they don’t serve it unless you ask. Of course you have to get the hula pie for dessert. It’s a coffee and vanilla ice cream pie with hot fudge, nuts and an Oreo crust.

Delicious food and excellent service! A few tables were getting drenched from the storm and they had to move everyone to new tables but they handled it very professionally and timely. Loved the fresh Parmesan crusted fish, the chowder and the carrot muffins. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the food!

Make a reservation and go to Mala!
My daughter and I had breakfast on a beautiful Saturday morning, and LOVED this place, the Oceanside seating and views, the service (Lisa!), mimosas and delicious food! What a gem this place is! After breakfast, we used the restroom and then saw the inside dining area, which had amazing views as well! We would have enjoyed inside or outside seating! My only regret is not discovering Mala sooner, as this was our last morning to go to breakfast together. Thank you to Mala for the wonderful experience! When we return to Maui, you’re at the top of our list! 🌟🌸🌊☀️

I came here without being hungry. I ordered the chicken dish and the scallop dish.

The chicken was juicy on the inside, crispy on the surface and the sauce on the chicken was sweet and little salty. I was satisfied that an unusual dish came out with common ingredients.

I was also satisfied with the scallop dish. When chewed, it was soft and chewy like gelatin. ​Perhaps fresh ingredients were used and the intensity and duration of the fire were well controlled.

Not only was it me, but my wife was also satisfied with these special dishes. The staff were friendly and I was happy to tip

Great experience! We made a reservation online and they sat us right away. Their food was ono and came out quick. Live entertainment. We came during happy hour and enjoyed everything! I had the rye me a river drink, so good! We ordered the calamari, coconut shrimp and taro sweet bread. All of it was great! Then we split the Mala burger with blue cheese and it was excellent. The vibe was great, we got to sit outside next to the ocean. It was very windy but it didn't kill our vibe at all. Would definitely recommend this place!

A whale of a time!

This was an INCREDIBLE experience on Maui. I’ve never seen whales before. The guides were experienced and shared intriguing facts and stories throughout the ride. Of course watching whales do all sorts of moves, seeing a blowhole, and seeing a whale splash around were phenomenal experiences. It’s also nice that the eco tour shares a mission with the Pacific Whale Foundation.

We booked a Whale Watching Sail on the Ocean Spirit and LOVED sit. Excellent communication during the booking process, great reception at the dock, and an awesome crew on-board! I know one’s mileage will vary… we saw at least ten different whales, including a mother and calf. Will book with them again!

We booked 3 excursions with PWF for our trip, 2 snorkeling and a whale watch. We had a wonderful experience each time. Went to top spots and saw a good amount of fish and sea life including sea turtles. On the whale watching we saw several whales one of which came out right in front of us. We made great memories.

Aloha! Danny was both fair and accommodating, even during the COVID limitations and precautions. Both gym locations were well equipped and clean. A fair price for the week, if you can still find the time to workout during vacation, kudos brothers and sisters. Whether you body build, power lift, or CrossFit, you’ve got options. Equipment is also newer and well maintained. Witness the gains in Lahaina for yourself at CrossFit Maui.

Coach Paul was great. Made my wife(regional level athlete), sis in law, and myself feel really welcome. He's got great mobility work as part of the warmup. The programming was a serious challenge, in a good way, for sure. Definitely will be back when we visit again.

Crossfit Maui is an awesome place to work out. I always get the attention I need from the coaches and the owners are so personable. The classes are great because I get to work out with highly motivated and friendly members who are always there to cheer me on. I need that as an overweight middle aged woman. I can tell that I'm getting stronger and am healthier than I was 4 years ago when I started. They welcome all levels and are always willing to modify the workout to meet your needs.

The chef was not skilled at all. He kept talking to us and cracking jokes without paying too much attention to cooking the food. The food is all salty. And the steak is overcooked. We asked for medium rare. He almost gave us all well done meat. Very disappointing. And I will not recommend anyone to go there or to face that chef again.

Solid experience! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the chefs grilling up you meal in front of you was fun and entertaining. Beautiful surroundings in Lahaina, take a stroll along Front Street for the experience. (We had reservations but the Sushi bar is 1st come 1st served and may have been even a better experience. Will come back to check it out ourselves 😉)
