Stayed here for 5 nights in September. 1 bedroom ground floor apartment. Check in was pleasant and easy. Location was great. Walking distance to shopping centre and greater Jazz bar across the road. 10 minute drive to Lahaina. View was unbeatable as per the photos from our room. The decor of the room (Condo which I guess is privately owned but rented out to Aston Mahana) was very dated. If it had a fresh paint job and furniture was updated then it would be 5*. TV controls were cumbersome and we couldn’t work out the DVD player at all. Housekeeping woke us at 8.30 one morning which was a bit annoying. At the right price would definitely stay again.

So here's the thing- if you are really looking for a large resort atmosphere with a ton of people, activities, and entertainment at every turn, this is not the right place for you. However, if you're cool with having a floor to ceiling ocean view, quiet neighbors, and a chill atmosphere without a lot of chaos- this is where you need to be! My husband and I had done a lot of research before heading to Hawaii on our honeymoon, and although reviews for some of the other Ka'anapali resorts were incredible, we knew we wanted accommodations that were simple, classy, and a little more "grown up" for our honeymoon. Us 30-somethings were probably the youngest people there, which was 100% what we were going for :) There is one little pool in between the buildings, which we saw a handful of people in at any given time, and you are literally steps from the beach & ocean. The condo-tel amenities were perfect for what we needed- washer/dryer, a coffee pot, full fridge, and basic dishes and utensils, and there was always plenty of parking for our rental car, and a super convenient side entrance from the parking lot, so getting from the car to our room never took more than about 30 seconds. We saw the other nearby resorts (that were lovely, don't get me wrong!) but we were so so so incredibly happy with our choice to go "simpler" and feel like we had our own private little oasis back at our resort. Very little interaction with anyone else while we were there, which we were fine with! Again, if you need a party, go elsewhere, but if you want a quiet, romantic, convenient place to stay- the Aston Mahana is where it's at.

The photos say it all. We stayed at the Aston having found the room on VRBO. Our space is right on the ocean and every suite in this building faces onto it. We spent our days walking out onto the most gorgeous beaches on Kaanapali. Snorkeling was fabulous and every time out we encountered many beautiful fish and sea turtles. The Aston had a concierge and a wonderful pool and is adjacent to all of the big hotels, so you can stop in and enjoy happy hour and sit by their pools too.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and couldn't wait to return. This property offers the "best" sunset view you'll find this close to the water. We prefer quiet, laid back, and relaxing vacations. We stay away from mega resorts where the pool and public areas are usually crowded and you have no view or a peekaboo view of the water. This place delivers on all levels and even exceeded our expectations on this visit. The staff has always been attentive and helpful and our unit 1018 had everything we needed to make our stay stress free. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for our 11 night stay. There were beach towels, a safe, 4 boogie boards and 2 beach umbrellas for our use. I always recommend this property to anyone visiting Maui. After seeing my pictures and comparing to other "oceanfront" properties, they usually agree. Why go all the way to paradise and settle for anything but the best. We were celebrating our anniversary and there was a card, bottle of wine and chocolates waiting for us at check-in. Thank you to the staff for making our stay a memorable one. We look forward to our next visit.

We are just back from a wonderful week in unit #807. Floor to ceiling windows allowed a 180 degree view of the ocean, Lanai and Molokai.. We watched turtles swimming right out from the hotel from the room. The lanai was large and comfortable with room for a table and 4 chairs. The unit had a fully equipped kitchen with every utensil one could need. Laundry in the unit is such a bonus. Resort staff was responsive to every request. Although no restaurant on premises, it is just a short walk to nearby hotels, Dukes, the food trucks or the shopping center across the main street. The only thing we wished for was a light on the lanai so we could read or play cards outside. Would definitely return to the Mahana.
