Search hotels in Lahaina

The Lahaina Coast (Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kahana), offers a varied amount of activity, you'll definitely need to have a rental vehicle to access the various activities of Lahaina, as well as other parts of Maui. There are a lot of eateries and array of foods to sample, I recommend highly that you check for or make reservations to any restaurant you'd like to have lunch or dinner at. Traffic in and out of the Lahaina area can be testy during the early morning and late afternoons, as Honnapi'ilani Hwy. is the only highway to travel from Kahului, Up Country, Haleakala Crater or to Kihei-Makena areas, to Lahaina. Plan your activities and consider the traffic if you are travelling outside of the Lahaina area. The Lahaina Area has the best beaches on Maui.

Loved Lahaina but do not stay at Castle Paki. The office staff were not nice or helpful at all. No shampoo, no body wash, warned you of insects, and most of all...No air conditioning at all on property.

Lahaina was beautiful, and the giant Banyan tree is not to be missed, but the Wharf/Front Street area was very crowded and “touristy”. If you’re looking for lots of action, souvenir shops, bars and restaurants, all within steps of your hotel, this is the place for you! If you’re looking for something a bit more laid back and casual, travel another mile or two up the road... snorkeling, low-key but tasty restaurants and a little more elbow-room await. Note: if you are planning to do your own laundry while on vacay, there is ONLY ONE self-serve laundromat in Lahaina. It’s open 24 hours, which is convenient, but I’d suggest going early in the day if possible. There’s a local bakery and a great little healthy eatery in the same block! Aloha!! 🌺

The town of Lahaina has lost a lot of its luster. Perhaps this is due to the covid problem. It was untidy lots of homeless looking folks everywhere very sad actually. I hope it regains it's beautiful charming clean appeal.

It depends on what you like. We chose accommodations on Napili Beach which is gorgeous. The places to stay there are small condo buildings less than three stories high. Others might choose high rises in a place like Whalers Village with shopping, bars and restaurants. So do your research to find what suits you. We walked the town of Lahaina the day we arrived until check in time and that was fun for an hour or two but I wouldn’t want to stay in town. It’s busy and there are some folks there (under the Banyan tree) who are a bit intimidating. Our fave spots for food: Leoda’s Pies (banana!!), The Gazebo for breakfast (but get in line at 6:30 for 7:30 opening or be prepared to wait 90 minutes), Poke bar in Napili grocery store, and the Paia Fish Market (on the way to Hana).

My wife and daughter enjoyed the shopping and food was tasty. Parking was the big issue but once you found a spot everything got better. We went on a whale viewing excursion and had a wonderful time. Rained each day but the afternoon was a comfortable 80 degrees. If you plan to go to Hana or other parts of the island you do have drive a bit. The people were friendly and it was a good experience even with the Covid restrictions.
