Ka’anapali Beach Club Review – Maui (2025)
Want to know what it’s like to stay in the Ka’anapali Beach Club Deluxe Oceanview Suite?
For our 1 year wedding anniversary trip, we had the pleasure of staying at Ka’anapali Beach Club in a one bedroom Deluxe Oceanview Suite.
As timeshare owners, this stay was given to us as a welcome gift/signing bonus.
It included the hotel stay and round trip airfare for the two of us.
Since our stay, Diamond Resorts has been bought out by Hilton Grand Vacations, another popular timeshare company.
So far, no major changes have taken place with this buyout other than just the branding.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be a timeshare owner to stay here.
You can book your room directly or through your preferred third party booking platform like you would any other hotel or resort.
You can see a full walk-through of our room in this video on our YouTube Channel.

Ka’anapali Beach Club Deluxe Oceanview Review
As you enter the resort, the entire lower level is completely open.
You’re never truly “inside” until you’re in your suite.
The parking is all underground, which is actually super convenient.
You don’t have to go far to get to your car.
The pool and bar are right on the beach, so you have a nice view no matter where you’re hanging out at the resort.
The day we arrived it was chilly and rainy, so everyone was getting their drinks and heading straight to the hot tub!
We did exactly the same thing.
The hot tub says it’s for adults only, but it’s not something that seems to have ever been enforced on the property.
Or maybe it was just that it was too cold to get in the pool, so they allowed everyone to use the hot tub during that time.
Since the occupancy was so low during our visit, this wasn’t an issue, but now that travel has resumed to basically pre-pandemic levels, the situation may be a little different.

One Bedroom Deluxe Oceanview Suite
There are several different room types offered at Ka’anapali Beach Club and luckily we were able to secure a Deluxe Oceanview Suite.
Before the pandemic this probably would have been nearly impossible to do so last minute, but we were traveling February of 2021 when hardly any visitors were on the island and the occupancy at the resort was at historical lows.
The biggest perk of staying at a resort like this versus a traditional hotel is having a full kitchen.
Going out to eat for every meal adds up quickly, so being able to cook some food in your room or heat up leftovers will help keep your spending in check.
When we arrived, we went to Costco to pick up some water and muffins that we could have for breakfast each day.
I also personally loved the jacuzzi tub.
The bathroom overall was big and spacious.
Having a separate living space from the bedroom is also a nice perk, especially the more people you have staying with you.
Another thing we loved about the suites here are the huge sliding glass doors in the living room and bedroom.
We had them open a lot and it was nice watching the sunrise and sunset from bed.
At first, we kept them open slightly at night.
Then one morning a bird almost got in, so we decided that wasn’t a good idea anymore!
We also brought binoculars with us and did whale watching right from our balcony.

Mini Golf
Just across the parking lot from the Ma’alaea Harbor whale watching tour is a fantastic mini golf and games outdoor center.
Cacao Farm + Chocolate Tasting Tour
This was one of the highlights of our trip, with my favorite photo of us in the treehouse tasting chocolates made from the cacao grown on this farm.
The views are amazing, the chocolate is amazing, and it’s a fun experience most Maui visitors don’t get to do.
The Best Luaus On Maui
You have to go to a luau at least once when you’re visiting any of the Hawaiian islands.
Road To Hana Full Loop Drive
I highly recommend driving the full loop route if the weather permits.
Most visitors just drive to Hana and back, but there is so much more to do and see!

West Maui Coastline Driving Tour
Spending a half day or full day exploring the West side of Maui is a fun way to get a little bit off the beaten path and see a variety of picturesque views around the island.
