Relaxing, comfortable Room. Would definitely do it again with the junior bungalow.

Did not like the lack of privacy in the bathroom. curtains did not cover the windows securely. could be seen naked while showering.

We were seeking a retreat away from the cold, resorts, and found a true little paradise. While not a boutique hotel, the warm, personalized service made us feel right at home. The essence of Maui is alive here, reflected in the peaceful atmosphere and the genuine super kindness of the staff. A perfect spot to experience the island’s true spirit. Although we faced an unexpected situation, the staff handled it with warmth, professionalism, and full support. A special thank you to Nicholas Kuhns, the General Manager, for his exceptional leadership. His high level of professionalism ensured everything ran smoothly, meeting luxury standards, while staying true to the hotel’s spirit and promise. The personalized service and genuine kindness of the team made us feel right at home. We are truly grateful for Nicholas and his team. A perfect place to experience the true essence of Maui. Without a doubt, I would return to this place to enjoy the stunning ocean views, the refreshing breakfast, the ample parking, and the activities that create the perfect balance between luxury and the warm, authentic spirit of Hawaii.

This property is absolutely beautiful. The bungalows are the way to go for sure. We spent $18 on a toaster and were able to make our own bagels for breakfast. Kept our refrigerator stocked with water and our own alcohol. I feel like this is such a little gem. Haven’t been to this resort in summer but beginning of November and middle of April was perfect. It doesn’t feel as crowded or busy as the other side of black rock where whalers village is. It’s literal perfection.

I am not impressed with their restaurant. We had one meal there out of convenance. It’s not terrible but so many better options close by.

Our stay at the Royal Lahaina Resort and Bungalows was everything we hoped for in a Hawaiian vacation—and then some! From the moment we arrived, check-in was smooth and welcoming. The staff were friendly and warm—we exchanged plenty of cheerful "Alohas" that set the tone for a relaxing stay. We booked one of the bungalows, and while it was pricier than a standard room, it was absolutely worth the experience. The bungalow was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Just steps from the beach (literally a 30-second walk!), it offered a sense of privacy, comfort, and that laid-back island charm you hope for in Maui. One of our favorite features was the use of wristlets instead of traditional key cards—super convenient and one less thing to keep track of. We loved being able to simply slip it on and forget about it. The beach in front of the resort was tranquil, expansive, and never felt crowded. We really appreciated that peaceful vibe. Just one beach away is the bustling scene at Black Rock, where the crowds gather for snorkeling and excursions. That made our location feel even more ideal—close enough to walk (only about a 10-minute beach stroll) to the top restaurants and attractions in Kaanapali, but tucked away enough to truly relax in a quieter, more serene setting. That said, the one downside for us was the surprise parking fee. We didn’t realize there was a daily charge for parking, and it was $40/day for self-parking or $45/day with valet. I’m sure it’s listed somewhere, and I know many resorts charge for parking, but it still felt a bit steep. After a moment of sticker shock, we gathered our composure, smiled, and moved on. It definitely didn’t ruin the experience. After settling in, we spent our first afternoon with drinks in hand, toes in the sand, enjoying the perfect weather—low humidity, a gentle breeze, and not a single pesky bug in sight.

This was our first time visiting Hawaii and we had a wonderful time! We only had a couple of days to spend at this wonderful resort and we are so happy we chose it! We walked along the boardwalk in the mornings and said what a good and lucky choice we had made in selecting the Royal Lahaina. We remarked on how the resort felt calm and how well it blended with the nature around it. The food was really great and we never regretted paying a little extra for each of the meals we shared. The staff was friendly and we really appreciated the live music playing both by the pool and in the beautiful grotto area. Thank you for such a great experience!

I love the location of this resort! Outdoor pool and right on the beach was so perfect. We reserved a cabana for the entire day for just $100 which was so comfortable & relaxing. I loved how friendly the staff were and the breakfast restaurant there was so good. I liked the spacious balconies from our room as well. We spent a lot of time out there watching the sunrises & sunset.

The bathroom is really small, and the shower had hair from the previous guests. I also asked to have my room cleaned after day 2 and did not get anyone to come clean it.

Hotel was almost empty and could be due to HIGH pricing. We had to find a hotel for one night and cost $600 canadian. Way over priced and then we found the same hotel for $425 canadian on a different website, ours was $600+ canadian. Careful booking.com does not price match. Very disappointed.

Food at restaurant was just ok. Had the worst eggs Benedict ever...came with dried out potatoes. And $6 for a coffee. Maui has become expensive so may not be able to return. Luau was also very commercialized highlight of show was the Fire show

There is a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere at this hotel. The hotel is right on a great beach with clear blue water. Really nice reception staff. We also enjoyed the pools and the pool bar, were we had some great drinks. On the last day the allowed us to use the facilities after checking out, witch is great. We planned to stay 4 nights in Kihei, but we canceled the last night to return to this hotel in couple of days for our last night in Maui. Since we are coming back, it’s obvious that we highly recommend it.

Everything was great.

The facilities were great. Pools were well maintained. Beach was clear of any kelp and was crystal clear. There were plenty of other restaurants and shopping nearby. The only issue was the location is on the far west side of the island, and you end up driving for hours every day. But if you want to stay at the resort and relax, you’ll love this place. The Myths of Maui luau was great too.

Location location! Very friendly staff. Beautiful spacious rooms, nice balcony with comfortable furniture. Unique room design; wood furnishings including the blinds! Great room amenities. Good housekeeping services. Very, very comfortable bed. The pool area is quite nice. Quiet floors. The luau was wonderful! LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT ROYAL LAHAINA!
