The first impression upon walking into the open-air lobby was "wow", and we weren't disappointed. We (3 adults, 2 children) stayed in a two-bedroom suite on the seventh floor, overlooking the nicely landscaped courtyard. The rooms were tastefully furnished and clean; kitchen adequately supplied with pots/flatware,etc; and the washer/drier combo was an unexpected premium.
Two pools kept the kids entertained. They also loved the small beach fronting the property. Great sand for building sandcastles and small waves that were ideal for bodysurfing.
The restaurant is not fancy, but it has a good selection of moderately priced meals ... from prime rib to hamburgers.
We found the Kaanapali Shores a great value and would return.
