We stayed in room 917 and we thoroughly enjoyed it! We didn't have really high expectations after reading the reviews and it is not as expensive as other properties but we loved it here. It is good value for money, right on the beach. The beach is small but still really good swimming and awesome sunsets. Heaps of parking available, outdoor and under cover. I loved having a kitchen in our studio, so we could make our own meals and not eat out all the time. There are also BBQ's to use in the pool area. The laundry in our room was super handy too. It isn't a 5 star property, it is definitely a 3 star.

The staff at reception could have been nicer. They never smiled or friendly when I asked a question or throughout check in/check out process. They were actually quite rude.

Apart from the staff I would recommend staying here if you want decent accommodation without paying a fortune.

I just flew home after a wonderful week at this resort. I have to say that after booking and reading all the negative reviews I was apprehensive about my stay at the Royal Kahana that I booked through Costco but was surprised and thankful for the wonderful condo that we stayed in. Condo 810 is the best that anyone could ask for as far as view and room for a party of 4 ... parents and two young adults. Everyone was wonderful from the time we checked until the time we left. Chip was awesome for giving you a plethora of adventures that he highly recommended. We were never bored and busy the whole the week. If you like 4 star resorts with all the amenities this is not for you... but if you are family just wanting a nice place to kick back and relax then this is a wonderful place. There is coffee, general store/gas station, McDonalds, and Maui Brewing in walking distance across the street so the location is great if you want a quiet stay. Also like most places in Hawaii where you have to pay for your car you don't here which a plus. The beach is trying to come back and there was people walking and playing in the ocean out front the whole time as well as turtles. I would definately stay here again.... I didn't want to leave the view. Wish I could of brought it home with me. Thanks Royal Kahana for making my vacation with my family a memorable one.
