3 star Romantic Independent hotels in Maui Island, Hawaii

The Kaanapali Beach Hotel is a very relaxed, friendly hotel right on the beach at Kaanapali on Maui. It has large gardens where one can easily find space to put a deck chair in or out of the sun and enjoy the warm Maui breeze. The sea temperature is gorgeous and is right in front of the hotel, but there is also a whale shaped pool in the centre of the gardens for guests who prefer not to swim in the sea. There are a range of room rates, from absolute beach front to partial sea view, garden view etc. I have stayed twice in the beach front rooms where it has been a pleasure to watch passers by on the beach walk, and the sun set in the evenings. The Kaanapali beach isn't a luxury hotel like some others along the Kaanapali strip, but the warmth and friendliness of its staff, and the hawaiian aloha they cultivate will keep you returning for more.
