    Terrific 10 days at the Royal Lahaina

    Wonderful stay at the Royal Lahaina! We have vacationed here many times, and we love it more and more each time! The setting is paradise and the staff are exceptional. Ford goes above and beyond to provide Aloha to us and everyone. Marc and Mike at the beach bar and Rosey in the restaurant are friendly and kind. Chiko provides grace and beautiful flowers while greeting guests. New this year was nightly music at the Branches, which was delightful. Especially enjoyed the music of Anthony Pfluke. We certainly applaud this resort for quickly providing a home for displaced Lahaina residents. We are already planning to return.

    Great Find Via Costco Travel!

    Wonderful hotel, food and staff. Loved the new lobby, restaurant, and pool area. Excellent service all around. This Hotel just reopened approximately 8 months ago. It generously served as a Red Cross/FEMA center during and after the Lahaina fire giving those who lost their homes food and comfort. Restaurant, Lobby, Conference Center and Pool Area all remodeled. Special thanks to all employees including Valet, Housekeepers and staff. Huge thank you to Hane and Ford.

    Lives up to the hype - Royal Lahaina Resort well worth the visit

    What a lovely experience, from the start. Check in was a breeze, friendly, informative and so very helpful. We stayed in an amazing Jr. Bungalow Suite with ocean views. Although the suite was equipped with air conditioning, we were fortunate to time our visit, so the weather allowed open windows and cool ocean breezes to flow through, with the bonus of being lulled to sleep every evening by the sound of the waves rolling onto the beach. The beach was perfect, expansive and steps away from our bungalow! Those days when we just wanted to relax in one of the many lounge chairs without the sand, the perfectly manicured lawn that led to the beach and the pool was a wonderful option. Lounge chairs were provided in abundance and we never had to fight for a place to relax. We spent 6 nights at this resort, which is always enough time to discover the flaws, but we found none! The food and beverage service provided by the two restaurants was top notch enhancing the experience. Would definitely recommend to all our family and friends. We look forward to our next visit, yes, we will be back!

    Disappointed from the Start - Filthy, Smelly and Beat Up

    Disappointed from the Start We had high hopes for the Royal Lahaina Resort, expecting a true 4-star experience, but unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that we weren’t the only ones unhappy—several guests were already in line to complain as we checked in, which was an immediate red flag. Rooms: Musty, Moldy, and Filthy Our first room had a strong musty and moldy odor, making it unbearable to stay in. When we called the front desk, the employee admitted that things hadn’t been remodeled in a long time—not exactly the response we were hoping for. We were allowed to check out another room, which, while not smelling as bad, was filthy (see photos) The two pics with dust on my hands are from the headboard and shelving.. It’s shocking that a resort with this reputation doesn’t maintain cleaner accommodations. It was also clear that the owners are not investing in repairs, maintenance, or updates. Everything felt outdated and neglected, and for a so-called 4-star resort, that’s unacceptable. See photos of dented, dinged and damaged surfaces. Staff: Helpful, but It Only Goes So Far To their credit, the staff was friendly and helpful, but there’s only so much they could do when the hotel itself is in such poor condition. Amenities: Average at Best Pool: Just okay—nothing special, but at least it was clean. Restaurant: We didn’t even bother trying it because, based on the lack of cleanliness in the rooms, we weren’t about to take our chances with the food. Location: Not Ideal While the resort is on the beach, it’s not close enough to Whalers Village to easily walk. If you’re looking for easy access to shopping and dining, this isn’t the best location. Final Verdict: Would NOT Stay Again For a place that claims to be a 4-star resort, this was a huge letdown. The outdated rooms, lack of cleanliness, and general state of the resort make it not worth the price. It’s clear that the owners are not reinvesting in the property, and it shows in every aspect of the experience. There are far better options in Maui that actually deliver on their promises of luxury and comfort. Save your money and stay elsewhere!

    The Best on Maui

    An excellent resort. We tried to come when the mayor asked for visitors after the Lahaina fire, but our reservations had to be canceled due to displaced residents in the hotel. We understood completely, and the hotel was able to accommodate our party for an excellent late-night dinner. Fast-forward to 2025, and we got a great two-bedroom suite overlooking Maui Nui. More than just a fall-back restaurant, every meal we had was excellent. The Royal Scoop ice cream parlor was also handy, with its long hours and excellent pastries. The Royal Lahaina is now our favorite hotel on Maui.
