    Great stay!

    I had work on Maui and my husband came with me. We stayed at the Royal Lahaina and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly, the rooms comfortable and lovely, the food was great, and the beach was amazing. Our room overlooked the golf course with an ocean view and it was so relaxing. There is music every night, and the entire experience was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

    Do Not Stay in the Bungalows

    Pros: The location is really stunning, the beach is gorgeous, and the restaurant has amazing views. The staff in the restaurant were great as were the beach activities folks. Cons: First, it's important to note that the bungalows are rooms in buildings where there are four rooms on the bottom and two above - the four lower rooms you can walk out of your patio. We stayed in an oceanside bungalow with a walk out patio so we would have easy access to the ocean, and, views. We chose this resort because it is sold as being “quiet,” but our experience was anything but. They have wasted a beautiful location with substandard, cheaply-made accommodations. We paid a steep price for the oceanside bungalow only to hear every single word of the 4 pm beer bong tournament/studio 64 party being thrown in the adjoining room when we checked in. The hotel addressed the noise and the group turned their Bluetooth speaker off for all of 10 minutes before they started a drinking game and turned it back on. (Given the numerous amount of small children running around, it was surprising the hotel had no issues with the explicit hard core rap blaring from their balcony as well.) The hotel was only able to move us to a room with double beds instead of the king we had requested, but we were willing to take anything to get away from what was surely going to end in someone’s stomach getting pumped at 1 AM. Our next room, however, featured a cast of characters stomping around so loudly above us, the lights flickered. And this went on every night, late into the night. (It’s entirely possible that it was a family walking around like normal, but the building quality made them sound like drunken trolls.) Not wanting to be the people that complained about noise twice, we kept telling ourselves that being on the ocean would make it all worth it. I’m here to tell you - it did not. No visual expanse of ocean or the sound of waves crashing can make up for six interrupted nights of sleep, for sleeping in separate beds on what was supposed to be our 10 year wedding anniversary trip, or the thousands of dollars wasted staying in the equivalent of a Super 8 motel room. Do not stay here if you value a peaceful vacation full of relaxation. Do stay here if you’d like to make new friends by joining in the conversations of the strangers staying next to, above, and below you. Because you may as well all be in the same room. On top of all this, the hotel never offered anything to make-up for us losing the room we paid for, and despite promises to look for a king room for us to move to, never contacted us again. If you have to stay here as part of some group/family get-together (which is, frankly, the only situation I could see this property good for), request to stay in an END unit, that way you only have one neighbor’s noise to compete with. It’s a shame because the bungalows have recently been renovated so I don’t see them addressing the popsicle stick walls anytime soon.

    Nice short stay

    Front desk staff and valet guys were great, very friendly and attentive. The upstairs bungalow was nice, the bed was comfortable although I think the pillows were a bit too fat. The shower didn’t drain well but I have no doubt that if we had complained they would have addressed it right away. I do think some towel hooks in the bathroom woukd be good. Plenty of chairs by the pool and a nice ambience. Great place to watch the sunset. Good burger at Lahaina noon for happy hour, we didn’t care for the wings they were a bit sweet for us.
