Napili Kai Beach Resort

West Maui


This low-key yet sophisticated resort covers 11 acres at the northern end of Napili Bay. The units, which tastefully blend Polynesian decor with Asian touches, have private lanai, and the studios and rooms have kitchenettes. Some units have A/C. Alohas are a touch less personable here than you'd hope for the price point. The Sea House Restaurant is on site.

There are complimentary children’s activities during holidays and in summer. The Monday ‘putting party’ offers 50¢ cocktails on the resort’s 18-hole putting green.
