There were eight of us in three rooms. Two of our four teens were exchange students. It was so enjoyable. A "Kona" storm left 41 inches of rain in 24 hours with lots of wind. The resort was phenominal in the effort to accommodate us when our flight was cancelled. They were so kind about it! This was our 12th stay at this resort, and won't be the last.

Relaxing, low key resort right in the beach. My second year staying here and not my last
04 Apr 2026
This is my second year staying at the Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort. Lovely, relaxing property, spotless, very friendly vibe. The Premium ocean view room was a perfect size, well-appointed and spotless. Rooms are well instantes and not noisy between the walls. The staff are top-notch, professional and friendly. Specifically, Vangie from housekeeping was a delight-so kind and friendly. She made sure I had what I needed each day. Adrian set up my cabana (and took my reservations). This is the second year he’s helped me and was absolutely wonderful! Dustin and Alexis at the front desk were accommodating and invaluable.

Perfect Location & Friendly Staff
02 Apr 2026
The staff was extremely friendly during our week in Maui. During our stay, Risteta took excellent care of our room … she made us feel like we were her only guests. The property is in a great location for activities and Whalers Village for shopping, restaurants, and spirits.

Feeling cheated
02 Apr 2026
Total Scam- I am unhappy about being charged an additional 600 in resort fees, when there is small pool, no gym, no beach chairs (only available for rent). When I asked what the mandatory resort fee covers I was told tea and internet. How is this even legal?
Kauiolaakea Kaina, Guest Services / Front Office at OUTRIGGER Ka'anapali Beach Resort, responded to this review
Aloha, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration regarding the resort fee.We understand how important it is for fees to feel transparent and provide clear value. Our resort fee is mandatory and helps cover a range of amenities and services available to guests during their stay; however, we regret that this was not clearly communicated or did not meet your expectations.Your comments have been shared with management as we continue to review how we communicate and deliver value around these offerings. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Lyn the housekeeper is the best
30 Mar 2026
Beautiful hotel right on the sand! Great food and very friendly staff. Our housekeeper Lyn on Floor 4 in the Papaku building was so kind and helpful. She did a great job servicing our room throughout our 1 week stay and greeted us by our first and last names too! Thank you!
