The hotel is a resort hotel with golf course and pool, we did not use the golfing facilities but people we met thought the course was good. The pool in the resort is large but shallow. The hotel is located about 10 miles from the nearest town and public transport is limited, you need a rental car. The hotel was very quiet when we were there. The restaurant near the beach is worth a visit. Hotel staff are helpful and friendly. Meals and beverage at the resort are resort prices so brace yourself.

We stayed in a Gold Fairway View Villa. The room was very nice and spacious. The full kitchen allowed us to eat breakfast and lunch in the room. Food in Maui is expensive! Although groceries werent cheap either. The room and lanai had excellent views of the golf course and Molokai. Ocean views werent great but were not complaining. The resort itself was great. The resort shuttle service allows you to move throughout the resort without worrying about parking or walking. We used the shuttle service several times to go to the beach and to use the Ritz Carlton facilities. Restaurants within the resort are very nice but very expensive. If you choose to grocery shop, we would suggest the Napili Market which is 5 minutes away rather than the Honolua Store (again very pricey). Only negative is that the resort is 10-15 minutes away from most of the shopping and entertainment. And if you are looking to drive to Hana, it is about a 3.5 hour drive. All in all, we thought it was a great place to stay. We were very pleased. We are hoping to purchase a villa someday in the future or at the very least return for another vacation.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Napili Kai Beach Resort recently. We had a FABULOUS time. The resort is tucked away along the Napili coast, just a few miles north of Kaanapali. We didn't get any of the street traffic or tourist noise that you'd expect in Kaanapali or Lahaina. The resort has a private beach protected by a reef, making it a perfect swimming beach for children or anyone else not comfortable in rougher waves. The resort is meticulously cared for. Indigenous flowers and shrubs are in abundance, especially fragrant plumeria. The lobby is welcoming with several seating areas and a small library. We were offered fresh juice upon our arrival. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen are of ample size and updated with new cabinetry and granite. The toiletries provided were some of the best I've used in a hotel. Each room has a private lanai and free wi-fi/internet access...but who wants to turn on a computer in a place like this! The resort has four pools, a snack bar, massage center/day spa and fine dining at the Sea House Restaurant. Just a few yards from the hotel is the famous Kapalua marine sanctuary, once voted the best beach in the world. We snorkeled there and had a wonderful time. The resort provides snorkels, masks and plenty of towels. There's a boutique on site as well, selling clothing, souvenirs and sundry items. Once you arrive in this tropical paradise, there's no reason to leave. We're already planning our next trip!
