Maui Kaanapali Villas 292 [1]
MKV Emerald 292 - Feb 2024
Reviewed on 2024-03-05 by , Bellevue, WA USStayed MKV before so knew location and amenities were great. Central AC for entire complex was out starting in late January. Would prefer that Hawaii Life had disclosed that when they found out. Probably would not have changed anything since we had made full payment by then. Replacement AC units were supplied but were noisy so we did not use them. Love the old school vibe of location/property..plenty of grass and pool space without the crowds of the mega resorts.
MAUI - THE BEST
Reviewed on 2024-01-08 by NANCY M. , Woodland, CA USEverything was perfect. The condo was spotless and well maintained! The location near the pool an beach was great.
Great room,pool,view
Reviewed on 2023-11-13 by Lauren S. , Endicott, NY USWe ended up staying at this resort because the original one I booked had a maintenence issue that couldn't be resolved in the time we were visiting,and the company we used had us stay here.Pros:the 2nd floor room was gorgeous,clean,and the view from the balcony was peaceful and pretty...cons:we were TOLD we would be staying here,by text only,without any knowledge of this resort....the balcony isn't private at all.Its on a main walkway where everyone walking by can see you out on the balcony(not what i was wanting to relax)...the resort itself seemed old.And the villas we stayed at had only a pool and no other amenities(the one I paid for had alot of pools and slides)....lastly,customer service was very poor.Only found out about the maintenance issue when we landed by text.After a couple days of emails/texts/phone calls(3 days to be exact),we finally spoke to the company's representative(he was out of town and was unaware of the whole situation)which was positive,he was very nice....I write this review,as I said to the manager,to please just be better about communication and customer support.Other than that,we made the best of our stay and had a great time.
My happy place!!!
Reviewed on 2023-06-14 by Terri M. , Wenatchee, WA USMy sister and I stayed in unit 292. We had a fabulous time. The condo had everything that we needed and then some. The unit is very spacious and very comfortable. The location was great! I would stay there again. There were a few things that still need to be worked on. The bathroom door needs work and the closets needed to be worked on. None of these things were a problem for us. We loved getting up and walking on the beach. We also went snorkeling at black Rock which was great. The Castaway Restaurant is wonderful. The Stice team was great and very helpful. The trolly comes every 30 minutes and will drop you off at many different locations. We took it to Whaler's Village all the time. The trolly is free. The condo has beach umbrellas, chairs, pool noodles and a cooler. It also has a stackable washer and dryer in the unit. The unit was also very clean.<br/>
We could not have had a better visit to Maui

WONDERFUL PLACE
Reviewed on 2023-04-30 by debbie b. , huntington beach, CA USE-292 was a perfect place to rent. The place was very up to date and clean! The location on the 2nd floor was PERFECT for us...straight across from the pool and very short walk to the beach. Of all the properties we've stayed in at Kaanapali Villas over the years, this was the best one...plenty of room, too. The managing company, Hawaii Life, was wonderful to work with and responded very quickly to all of our questions!
One of the best at Kaanapali Villas
Reviewed on 2023-04-03 by Erin R. , Happy Valley, OR USThe unit was perfect for our needs. Very well equipped with supplies, including beach chairs, beach umbrellas, soft cooler and beach toys. Comfortable beds and decor. The only thing that would have made our stay more comfortable was more places to sit and relax. The fold out couch was great for our kid to sleep on but not comfortable as a couch and it would have been nice to have plush lounge chairs with footrests on the lanai instead of dining table chairs.

Great place to stay
Reviewed on 2023-02-16 by , Hamburg, MN United StatesMy wife an I had a wonderful stay at MKV E-292. The unit was clean, very comfortable and well equipped. We love the location as it is close to walking trails, great restaurants and tons of activities. The pools were great and never seemed crowded. The only downfall that I can mention is that parking can sometimes be a challenge, but we always seemed to find a place to park. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this place to others.

Totally Awesome!!!
Reviewed on 2021-02-17 by Adam S. , Edmonds, WA USKitchen - Very clean, updated, fully stocked (keurig machine, tea kettle, ninja blender, and good quality pans/knives). We were able to cook several meals no problem.
Lanai - Huge with 2 nice tables. Had absolutely all the toys you'd want (pool noodles, snorkels, 4 beach chairs, beach umbrella). We left a couple boogie boards as well.
Bedroom - 2 queen size beds. Vaulted ceiling. Bedroom has AC and a big screen TV.
Living room - Clean pullout couch, big screen TV, vaulted ceiling, Dining table, separate AC unit.
Bathroom - Large and nicely tiled. Shower had tons of space. Washer and dryer in unit are fantastic!
Pool - Literally a 20 second walk from the front door. Not the largest pool in Maui, and not frills, but perfect for the kids to play in. Might have been due to Covid, but the pool was mostly empty on most days, and getting loungers was easy. Easy to get food/drinks there from Castaway cafe.
Beach - About 30 seconds from door to beach. Could hear the whales singing under water. You'll be happy the unit comes with reclining beach chairs and all the toys. Easy access to SUP/kayak rental. Paradise.
Castaway cafe - Good food and service. Highly recommend the cheese curds and lava flow (drink).
Only downside that we could see people having an issue with was that the boardwalk crosses directly in front of the unit, so there is a fair amount of foot traffic to be seen from the lanai. It didn't really bother us, but some people may prefer more privacy.

Arriving late to an unfamiliar island is daunting especially when you have to make your way to your condo in the dark so to arrive and be greeted at the front desk of the Ka'anapali Villas was wonderful and greatly appreciated.

Reviewed on 2019-10-27 by , Chico, CA USWe can not say enough good things about the condo itself! It is in the perfect location and has everything you could need and more! The kitchen has been updated and had everything for us to cook all our meals. There was also plenty of storage and a large fridge and freezer so we could settle in for the week. The living area had a large TV and sitting for all of us. The dining table overlooked the pool and beautiful grounds. The two queen beds were comfortable and the split AC allowed the bedroom to stay cool at night. However, the best part of the unit was the lanai! It was the perfect place to have our coffee in the morning with views of the ocean and fun people watching as the ocean boardwalk goes right in front. It also housed everything you could need for a day at the beach! We had chairs, sand toys, umbrella, and boggie boards, which we used daily. There were snorkels as well, but we brought our own.
The location of this property allows you to walk to the pool and beach in moments, perfect for watching the gorgeous sunsets or taking a quick dip in the pool or hot tub. With the beach walk going through the property, you can easily walk to Black Rock or Whaler’s Village. It is a great place to walk or run in the mornings.
We have already recommended this unit to friends and family and would stay here again!

Great location on the beach
Reviewed on 2019-08-25 by , palo alto, CA United StatesPros:
Location is great. The condo is steps away from the Kaanapali beach.
The pool & hot tub are a few steps away. Pool is perfect for little kids to swim in as well as for grown ups
The kitchen is well stocked & newly remodeled
Beds are comfortable
Cons:
A few things around the house were broken & need fixing -
The sliding door to the bathroom is old & broken so it couldn’t be locked. The shower head is leaky & fell off a couple of times.
The glasstop of the dining table is sliding off its supports - it’s resting precariously on a pedestal shaped like a pineapple. We were afraid it would fall & lead to an accident, especially since we had young kids running around.
Living room lamp shade & the top of one of the barstools were broken too.
The place can get a bit noisy as it’s opposite to the pool & castaway cafe which has live music playing in the evenings
WiFi listed in the condo’s handbook wasn’t working.
We contacted the property manager regarding the broken things around the house & they said they were waiting to hear from their handyman, but no more communication from them after that.
Overall though, we had a good stay here. The proximity to the beach & pool & a spacious & clean living area were the highlights of this property. We will go back to MKV in the future.

Wonderful location, outstanding view and perks
Reviewed on 2019-06-14 by Jill B. , Albuquerque, NM USCondo 292 at Ka’anapali Villas is a great spot to spend a vacation. Maui is one of my favorite spots in the world because the variety of beaches nearby, convenience to luaus, shopping, and dining. The inside is beautifully decorated and set up is really nice, right sized kitchen, double wide lanai with room for eating outside as well as storage for boogie boards, scuba gear and bathing suit drying rack that were all nice surprises to have. The room has a view of the main pool and the ocean which is wonderful. But close the doors, and it was still a comfortable place. Good bedding, extra towels, a washer/dryer handy for beach towels and not taking home wet items, not to mention plenty of cups, plates, pans, and serving platters to cook onsite. While these condos are not the newest in this area, they are well maintained, the grounds are beautiful and it has all the amenities you’d want. Castaways cafe, on the property, has great tropical drinks and live music a few evenings a week, and decent meals if you don’t feel like leaving the site. Also the beach on this property is, IMO the best in the area. There are less people sharing the area than the high rise properties down the road, the water is warm and the sand is soft. We saw sea turtles and dolphins right there plus stunning sunsets. Shade and sun both available. We had a late night flight back to the mainland so though we had to check out at 11 am there was a place to store our luggage and the property has a spa locker room where you can shower and change before leaving, allowing you to still use the property your final day on the island. We could have asked (we didn’t know) to pay a day rate and use the room later in the day, but didn’t know that was possible. If you’d like to do that, do ask before arriving. Our option still worked but we would have happily paid a bit extra to have a base to stay that last day. Either way, I’d happily stay at this exact site again
“MKV” on Kaanapali
Reviewed on 2019-02-05 by carolyn s. , Leawood, KS United StatesThere were 2 beds in the Bdrm, and oddly no lamp on the table between. Apparently, the room had been changed to accommodate two beds, and the lighting in the ceiling did not light either of the new beds. I imagine it is a work in progress. Lighting in the living/dining room was inadequate as well.
The bathroom fan did not work.
With a few changes, this has potential to be a 4 Star property, but we can give it 2-3 stars. The condos around are being remodeled now, and that may be of interest.
There were 2 gatherings to acquaint folks with the property and concierge services, and a Mai tai gathering mid week. We enjoyed the involvement in engaging activities and information.

And the location was simply amazing, perfect spot to be at the MKV resort overlooking the pool and the Castaway restaurant/bar (short walk for me to get a beer!). Nice partial ocean view and very short walk to the beach. Condo also stocked with some basic beach gear like Tommy Bahama beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. This has been easily the best condo we've rented at MKV, will definitely look to stay here again one day!
The Perfect Spot on Ka’anapali
Reviewed on 2018-11-12 by Dale H. , Calgary, AB CanadaProfessionally managed with the little details taken care of so you don’t need to think of (daily condiments; beach gear; etc). The key for this place is location. You will not wish you were somewhere else.

Great room with modern updates!
Reviewed on 2018-09-17 by , Longview, WA United StatesWe had a great week long stay here. Everything was newly updated and clean with a huge lanai overlooking the pool. Would highly recommend and plan to stay here in the future. Only thing missing was some snorkel masks but we picked up a couple pair and left them for future guests.

It had everything our family of five needed to enjoy our Maui vacation. The in-unit washer and dryer were especially great to have. We will be back!
Fantastic Vacation Condo

Reviewed on 2018-05-22 by Lori H. , Sparks, NV United StatesWhich brings me to my only real complaint about E292. The lanai chairs are VERY uncomfortable, the only chairs out there are those dining room table chairs, very straight backed and hard! Your bottom will be numb even with the cushions. They also need some chairs with arms, something that makes you want to spend time looking at the lovely view.
The condo itself is very roomy, and nicely furnished. The bathroom needs a fan in the toilet area, no window or anything in there, it does get stuffy.
Kitchen could use more gadgets, I had to go buy a juice pitcher at Longs, Your Welcome!
Beds are VERY comfy, AC is tempermental, if you do not have the balcony doors shut tightly, it will not come on, and Blinks BALCONY until you figure out how to fix it.
At $300.00 a night, it needs some tweaking.
The floors are very dirty, do not walk barefoot on the lanai either!!!
Aloha!
We have been coming to Maui Ka'anapali Villas since 1996. Just love the resort, However when I booked E 292, I forgot they had added the Beach Walk through the middle of the resort. Folks start walking at 4am, and walk until the middle of the day, and some run. Gets tiresome watching from the lanai.<br/>Which brings me to my only real complaint about E292.

Quick Trip- First Time to Hawaii
Reviewed on 2018-05-01 by Evan M. , Springboro, OH United StatesI went with a friend and couldnt have asked for a better stay! This unit exceeded my expectations! Everything was new and clean and thats exactly what I was looking for! This is exactly the kind of unit I was looking for as my other searches promoted old and dated units with krusty comforters! This was my first time to Hawaii and this place left such a lasting memory I will for sure return! I worked with Megan and she answered all my questions when booking this place. As far as the beach it was so beautiful! Walked down to the nearby condo complex and so glad I didnt book there as that Beach was overpopulated. The Maui Kaanapali villa condo complex has a very private feel. Also ate at the castaway cafe a few nights which was delicious, even got carry out one night. If you are one to just plan on sitting on the beach drinking a cold one, this is the place for you! The weather was perfect and I love the attitudes of all the locals, its such a stress free feel. will be returning for sure!

Great Location, Quiet & Comfortable Condo
Reviewed on 2018-02-08 by , Ketchikan, AK United StatesWe had a great time at Aloha Kai and would definitely stay there again. The location was perfect...right by the pool and beach with a view from the lanai. We really appreciated that it came with all the things you need for the beach like chairs, boogie boards, cooler and even fins. The bed was comfortable and the condo layout perfect for the two of us. We even had two extras for a couple nights and it worked out great. The bartenders at the Castaway restaurant on the premises would be our only complaint as they were not helpful and actually one bartender was quite we didn't eat there much. But otherwise it was exactly what we needed.
