Spring Break with the kids

This hotel is family friendly. The pool setup is great, with one side very kid-oriented. To use the big water slide, you have to be 48" tall - and it's fun for the whole group! Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet, poolside dining and onsite luau were very nice and very convenient. This is one of a group of hotels in the Ka'anapali area, and there is a path along the beach's edge for walking/running. A mall (Whaler's Vilage) with shops/restaurants and food court is about a 10-15 minute walk North along the path and provides dining options that don't require driving. We enjoyed the Hula Grill. Sailing catamaran excursions (I booked and recommend the Teralani 2 premium snorkel trip) depart from the beach adjacent to the mall. Our room had a small fridge and there's a Safeway a short drive South. Would definitely stay here again.
Simply The Best

This Hyatt was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, the restaurants were very good and my entire family enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. The lobby was exceptionally nice and I enjoyed spending my extra time there watching the parrots, koi fish, and penguins. The fitness gym was very well equipped with Lifestyle machines, cool towels and water with citrus slices. I have never slept this good away from my own bed..theirs were like sleeping on a cloud.
We signed up for the Drums of the Pacific Luau that was on-site and it was one of the best meals and evening we enjoyed while we stayed on Maui. The Kaanapali location was good in relation to the outdoor activities we engaged in and for quick jaunts into Lahina for shopping and new eating experiences. I would definitely return to this hotel and recommend it to my friends.
not so great experience--room 361

As promised, Manager had our luggage moved to room 361 in the Lahaina Tower on our second morning at the Hyatt after it had been cleaned and while we were out being tourists. The room was exactly as I had been previously promised (partial ocean view) when I called Hyatt and online travel website before making my reservations. It was on the third floor and had about a 120 degree view of the ocean, most of which was blocked by palm trees but enough spaces existed to allow limited whale watching. Higher floors would offer magnificent views. The balcony overlooked the swan pool and its beautiful landscaping. Unfortunately, the beauty of the view and the sound of the ocean is lost at 4:00 every afternoon until 7:00-9:00 every evening when a "Kenny Rodgers" wantabe lounge singer does his thing at the Umalu Restaurant next to the adult swimming pool. His volume is so high it drowns out all other local sounds and can be heard inside the room with all doors closed. Calls to the front desk accomplished nothing. Romance must be experienced elsewhere during those hours. Even though the hotel appeared to be half occupied, all lounge chairs at the pool and the few provided near the beach were taken early in the morning. The hotel really needs to provide more lounge areas especially for those not wanting the noise of children playing in/near the pool areas.TV was older CRT style with poor picture. Dirty grout.
Best Vacation Ever

We had the best time at this resort. There were 2 pools--one kid-centered pool with easy, shallow wading sections and a short, not-too-fast slide that our son (5) loved. On the days that my husband and son were out hiking, I went to the adult pool and was able to relax with out all the kiddos around--which was a treat. We spent most of the afternoons by the pool and had many lunches there--the food was delicious.
Camp Hyatt was a wonderful activity for my son on days that we had little planned that he would enjoy. He liked playing with the other kids, and the hosts were very nice to him.
Our room was lovely and very comfortable. Overall, it was the best vacation we have ever had as a family.
