8.4/10

My stay at Maui Ka'anapali Villas was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, providing a homely feeling during our vacation. Access to the beach was effortless, perfect for enjoying the beautiful Maui weather. While the dining options were satisfactory, I found it a bit lacking in complimentary coffee offerings. Despite a few minor drawbacks like additional fees, the overall value for money was decent, making it a place worth returning to.
