Low rise, low density and low key resort; an easy stroll to two sandy bottom bays with fabulous walk-in snorkeling. Our spacious and pristine oceanfront studio with balcony overlooked the beach, tidal pools and the islands of Lanai and Molokai. The fully equipped kitchen makes it suitable for a lengthy stay. The resort offers myriad scheduled activities but also peace and quiet in a beautifully landscaped setting. We highly recommend booking through Donna Bender of MauiCalls and are grateful to her for securing us a room with such a magnificent view. She kept in touch with us throughout the booking process and provided us with great advice, including a copy of her Local Girl’s Guide to Maui, a terrific resource. We found her through TripAdvisor reviews.

Just returned from a split stay half at Napili Kai half at the Hyatt. We Loved Napili Kai. We loved the area of Napili. We had a Great room #11. Beach front second floor. The rooms are on the smaller side but we really didn’t mind. We enjoyed the beach there , it does get busy but it’s nice . We loved being close to Kapalua beach as well .

If you want to experience Hawaii through a luxury high rise hotel, crazy pools and water slides; hordes of people; fighting for chaise lounges; high end shopping, and all that, then don't come to the Napili Kai. Those of us who come back to the Napili Kai time after time seek a different Hawaii. It is ocean and beach-centered, along a peaceful, beautiful little bay filled with reef, coral, a wide variety of colorful and different-shaped fish, and sea turtles. Kids play at the beach all day, sloshing with the ebbs and flows of the gentle waves. An18 hole putting course provides family fun, and Kapalua is next door for world class golfing. The hotel is low-rise, ocean front and peaceful. There are pools, but they are not huge, and are placed to seem like a private pool for each building. There are barbeques outside and nice, clean, newish kitchens in the units. The units have breathtaking views just steps from the bay. The hotel's Sea House restaurant is literally as far onto the beach as could be without getting splashed, providing its own incredibly awesome views at the beach and bay, along with good food. The staff on our recent visit were uniformly warm, welcoming, competent and professional. I make this recommendation with some regret, because I don't want the place to get too popular, but they deserve to be recognized for their accomplishment of providing as close to "old Hawaii" as we can get today.

My wife and came to Maui to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We chose Napili Kai because it was highly recommended by AAA travel. The travel consultant told us we would love this resort and that her other customers came back with very positive reviews. I have to say my wife and I also loved it. It is a beautiful property. It has very lush landscaping. It feels like you are staying in a tropical arboretum. The staff are wonderful. The on property restaurant is also excellent. The beach and Napili Bay is beautiful. Our suite was an ocean view, very nice. With all these wonderful attributes it was difficult to give it a mediocre review. The only problem, and it is a big problem is cockroaches. We were there for four nights. From our first day to our last day we had cockroaches. My wife estimates she personally killed over a dozen. I probably swatted four. After a while I was just ignoring them. I did call the front desk. They sent house keeping to do some spraying. When the pesky bugs reappeared, I called again. Housekeeping came again to spray. They were in the kitchen, in both bathrooms and in the bedroom. The final disappointment is when we got home, my wife was emptying her toiletry bag, a cockroach hitched a ride back to our home. If management reads this, I was in room 309A. May 19 to May 23, 2025. I hope they brought in a professional exterminator to rid that room of those pesky pests.

This review is mainly the massages and massage therapists that my husband and I had recently. I get massages regularly for my issues and in need of deep tissue, a true deep tissue without feeling beat up afterwards. I had Richelle and the first 5 minutes could tell i had an extremely experienced massage therapist especially at deep tissue. My husband was also in need of deep massage and he had Titi who was also very strong and gave him an excellent deep tissue massage. We had gone to a top spa at another Hotel nearby with all the great amenities at the beginning of our trip and had i known our hotel at Napili had great massage therapists, i would have had 2 massages during my wee. We both said Richelle and Titi were much better at Deep tissue than the other hotel! I also really felt Richelle was such a sweet person we had a lot in common and enjoyed chatting with her afterwards. She gave me a lot of helpful information. Regarding the concierge, Mo helped me months before our trip and she had all our activities scheduled for us and even got us a better seat at the nearby restaurant Merriman's which is hard to get in. She had all our plans printed out for us and left at the front desk since she closes down early for the day. Our first time staying at Napili Bay resort, the hotel itself was mostly clean and our room was cleaned most days, my teenager was in the room a lot which kept housekeeping from coming in some days. We stayed in Puna Point which was so nice and secluded feel being right on the water.

This was my second stay at Napili Kai and it’s truly an oasis. Everyone on staff is so friendly, the rooms are idyllic and the views are breathtaking.my only wish is that the restaurant wasn’t always booked solid and turning guests away. But otherwise it’s amazing. Definitely check out the spa and get a massage from TeTe!

Napili Kai Beach Resort really IS on the beach. After a very short stone walkway from the room, one is walking through deep sand on an extensive beach. As with most resorts, beach umbrellas (highly recommended) and chairs are available to rent. The suites come with well-appointed kitchens (including salt, pepper, sugar), comfortable lanais, and terrific ocean views tempting a non-swimmer/snorkeler to just sit and watch the world go by (with a great sunset). This is a prime snorkeling area.
