The layout of the unit was outstanding. The fixtures and ameneties were in excellent shape and worked well. We really appreciated the beach toys for our granddaughter! We loved being able to walk to the shops and restaurants in nearby Whalers Village.
Wonderful stay! Our family all agreed this was the most beautiful unit we’ve stayed in. The hosts have everything you could want for a family vacation from kitchen staples to board games. The proximity to the beach, pool, restaurants was perfect. Lovely stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Paul and Caitlin’s condo in Kaanapali Alii! The incredible views of the sunrise from behind the mountains and partly of the ocean from our lanai were breathtaking - it was the perfect place to spread out my yoga mat in the morning. The unit was spotless, the kitchen was fully equipped for our family, and the beds were super comfortable. We enjoyed a game or two in the living room equipped with a large 75” TV. The decor is outstanding with each detail meticulously planned. Paul is an incredible host, he was very responsive to all our needs.The resort itself is fantastic – beautiful pools, direct beach access, and just a short walk to Whalers Village for dining and shopping or surf lessons right outside the property, which was so convenient.It was hard to leave but we hope to comeback very soon!

Many thanks for the kind review. Our housekeeping staff does a great job in making sure the place is clean and ready for each guest. As you note, there is a lot to see and do without getting into a car and Kaanapali Beach is a particularly beautiful place to enjoy the waves and sand. We look forward to hosting you on your next trip to Maui. Thanks. Paul & Caitlin
Thanks Wendy. As you note, the Alii is in a great location indeed - on a world-class beach, walking distance to Whaler’s Village, restaurants, beach activities, and Black Rock for snorkelling, etc. Lots of places to enjoy the west facing views of Lanai and Moloka’i and fabulous sunsets (ideally with a cocktail in hand!). We look forward to having you and the family return. Paul & Caitlin
Beautiful condo and property. Had a great time swimming and BBQ at the pool.

Thanks Christine - thanks for the kind words. We’re delighted that you had a great visit and enjoyed the place as much as we do. The mountain and golf course views are great - we love to sit out on the lanai first thing in the morning to take it all in as the sun rises; I will often take my lunch outside to enjoy it all again mid-day. We look forward to welcoming you back again on your next trip to Maui. Paul & Caitlin

About the host
Hosted by Paul & Caitlin Hooper
We’re the Hooper family from Toronto, Canada and Maui is our ‘Happy Place’ ! We’ve been visitors to Maui and Kaanapali Beach, and guests in this unit, for a number of years. When we had the opportunity in 2019 to become the owners, we jumped at the chance !
Why they chose this property
The Kaanapali Alii is a really beautiful property, right on one of the nicest beaches you’ll find anywhere. The property is very well maintained, convenient to the beach, Whaler’s Village, Black Rock, restaurants, etc. - all within 10 minutes’ walk along the beach.
What makes this property unique
The Kaanapali Alii has the comfort and service you would expect of a hotel, but with so much more space for you and your family to stretch out. Unlike many similar units, our second bedroom is a truly private bedroom. Our unit is spacious, well stocked, and has great views of the golf course below and the West Maui mountains. We love it, and know that you will too.
