Dreamy place for a perfect honeymoon. Stayed in a beachfront studio 1st floor. If you are looking for a place with the old Hawaii atmosphere and the true aloha spirit this is it. However, no a/c in the beachfront bldg. so you must be able to have doors open for air flow which does not allow for any privacy, next... more

We stayed at the Napili Kai for a week (Oct 8 - 15) in a ground floor beachfront studio. The room was wonderful, bed comfy and the maid kept it very tidy. Yes there were a few ants but a quick spray by maintenance and we never saw them the rest of the week. The kitchen came in handy for... more

PRO: - beautiful landscaping - secluded area - quiet, get away from the usually rowdy crowds at hotels - think Cuba type resorts, but not all inclusive - Napili Bay is good for snorkling, and generally nice - not Grand Waliea style, so great for relaxing - friendly staff, and warm surroundings (unlike larger multilevel hotels) - kitchenette, fully stocked... more

We ended our Hawaiian vacation on Maui and chose the Napili Kai Resort on a friend's recommendation. The Good: The location is amazing. Napili Bay is paradise and the low rise buildings were a welcome relief after Waikiki and driving past Kaanapali. The grounds are also great and the hotel is generally very quiet. Our room was out in what... more

I have been to Maui several times and have stayed next door to the Napii Kai and always wanted to try this hotel. I will list the pros and cons. We stayed 6 nights the beginning of August. Pros 1. The beach is beautiful and great for kids. 2. Kapula bay next door is also a great beach. Great for... more

This hotel is magic. It has a certain Hawaiian feeling that I've been searching for over the years. Just lay in my room next to the ocean in the Puna building, listening to the waves, big fan overhead, smell of flowers and vanilla. Wandered down to the beach, a little snorkelling, a little boogieboarding with my kids, simple and perfect.... more

This is our third time here. This time, instead of a studio, we booked a 1 bedroom (2 full baths) ocean front room in the Puna II bldg. Most of the buildings have had their rooms updated. This is not one of them and it really needs it. The shower heads are the cheapest ever so we bought 2 hand... more

When I arrived at the Napili Kai, I was not overwhelmed with the beauty of the property, like I have at places like Grand Wailea or Hyatt in Kauai. I just reminded myself we did book a condo to save some money on meals to keep in kitchen and maybe use the b-que grill for dinner. (with a family of... more

A serious kudos to the onsite spa. I went there twice for massages and couldn't have been more relaxed. We stayed in an oceanview studio. The shoji screens added a lovely Asian feel to the room. The kitchen is pristine. If you can't find what you need, just call the front desk. There's also a laundry room onsite which came... more
