Marriotts Maui Ocean Club - Molokai Maui and Lanai Towers, Lahaina

For over 20 years we have stayed at the Ali'i next door (we go to Maui every 1-2 2 years) to the Marriott. We loved having a condo with full kitchen, washer and dryer plus lanai. We feel the view, Whaler's Village, and area of the beach in front of the Ali'i is the best that Maui has to offer. Two years ago while staying at the Ali'i we saw the new construction of the Napali Tower at Marriott. Our friends who were at the Ali'i with us decided to go on the timeshare tour. They loved what they saw. They said that the 2 bedroom units were as nice as any of the Ali'i rooms. The new towers have 2 and 3 bedroom units with a full kitchen, lanai, and washer and dryer. Our friends showed us the brochures they got. My husband and I talked after we went home and decided to purchase a 2 bedroom oceanfront timeshare in the Marriott's new towers. We knew we could never afford actually buying a condo in the Alii (don't have $2-3 million just hanging around). But owning a timeshare in the Lahaina/Napali Towers at the Marriott is the next best thing. When we arrived last summer, I called our friends and thanked them for all the info they gave us that led to us buying our timeshare. The rooms were great. The view is wonderful. You can see and hear the ocean from the room. We found the staff and the pool area to be excellent. We are about to go back for our 2nd stay and can't wait. Having a full kitchen and a place to wash clothes makes the vacation. We can spend the whole day on the beach and come back to the room for lunch. Again one of the best purchases we made. Great property! We are enjoying the Marriott as much if not more than the Ali'i. We know that we are guaranteed a great vacation, great room and great treatment by the staff.

My Husband and I came here without our children for our anniversary and birthday. We immeditaley fell in love with the grounds. Large Pools, beautiful waterfalls, Bar by the Pool... What more could we ask for. The room although it was not ocean view was still a great room with a view of the nearby canyons. The only thing we did not expect was that the one bedrooms did not have a stove. Only a microwave, which was a bit of a bumber since we bought all of our food at Costco and Safeway before we checked in. They did have a Barbeque to cook those steaks and chicken we bought. One other bumber is that they did not clean the room everyday. A noticed stated on the 5th day, new towels would be brought to the room along with a light cleaning of the restrooms. They could clean your room each day for $15.00 a day. Overall, we loved this placed and purchased a permanent time share to ensure we come back every other year....

The resort was great. Friendly service, clean and the beachside bar-b-ques were great. However, the beach right in front of the resort has these locals that hang out there everyday. They do not like visitors getting in the way of their bogie boarding. The group of locals, (teenagers) hit my 7 year old son in the head with their bogey board. And when confronted, they tried to start a fight with me. Then just a few minutes later, they hit another kid and when that kid asked what happened, the locals told him to get off "their" beach or there was going to be trouble. Turns out that two dads and a bunch of locals got into a fight. Fists flying and everything. Whenwhile about 20 families were spectating. I went up to the head of security for the Marriott and complained that they were protecting the locals more than the resort visitors. His reply was there is nothing they can do. It's a public beach and there are fights there all the time. I continued to tell this security guard that I had planned on buying a timeshare here, but would not now if my kids were not going to be safe on the beach. He replied, "good for you and better for us!" BEWARE!!!!! Obviously, visitors don't come first at the Marriott Ocean Club!

My husband and I stayed at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club and it was the best vacation ever. I have traveled to over 28 states so I have a lot to compare Maui with. Myrtle Beach SC does not compare with Maui. Location was great!! Beach front! The best luau on the beach was held right at the hotel. The road to hana was nice. The room was immaculate and the outside area was free of any debris. Temperature was an average of 80-85 degrees. Very romantic place, but nice for families too! You can snorkle, take a day cruise to another bay, bicycle, road to hana, relax on the beach, or go shopping nearby. I'm planning a family vacation now and hope it is as great as the first!

After receiving the brochure in the middle of a snowstrom, I was hooked on going. What a delight to arrive. The pictures do not disappint. The setting was great. Beautiful grounds with tons of waterfalls, koi ponds and private niches to relax. Tons of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Great fitness room, kids pirate ship pool was a huge hit, enormous 3 acre pool, surfed a break right out front, short walk to tons of great restaurants, shopping, etc. Could not believe what a great value it was! Rooms were just renovated and showed like new with adequate kitchen facilities, large bedrooms and lanais and dvd player for the kids. Great on site activities, but were so blown away by the pool and beach that we didnt take full advantage. If you wanted though they had yoga, lei making, Hawaiian language, hula classes and other things to keep you busy if you needed to escape the sun, or pass a rainy day. The staff was friendly and made you feel at home right away. Clean, uncrowded laundry facilities. Never worried about safety, or leaving belongings out. On site shops were comparably priced, so no need to hunt out an ABC store for forgotten or last minute items. Cant recommend enough. We stayed 3 nights at another hotel and were sorely disappointed after staying at the Maui Ocean Club. Also, dont bother with a car. If you can catch a ride from the airport, once you arrive in Kaanapli you wont need a car. Everything is walking distance, or you can hop on a free shuttle to lahaina town or snorkel spots. You can then avoid the daily parking fees and mandatory valet service. Cant wait to return.

Hello all, I bought a week here in 2005. This place is awesome and my family really enjoys it. so, I had to buy an another week. Seven days is not enough. This place has is all. I read some negative post, what in the heck are they talking about. The staff is so kind and helpful, the pool is the best on the island. Next year we will be "home" for two weeks. if you are considering buying a week here, hurry up. When the new towers are done the prices will climb to higher levels. see ya in maui..........

We had soooo much fun at this resort. You cannot believe how beautiful and clean the resort is! Everyone is constantly cleaning...The staff is so friendly! We enjoyed talking to 'Rudy' about living on the island. Cannot wait to return next year. "Mahalo"

Although the service could have been a bit more polite, this hotel helped me to enjoy my first trip to Hawaii greatly. They had a great pool, walking distance to restaurants and shops, and a beach right outside of your door.

i just got back fom hawaii 4 days ago & i miss it already =( my vacation went by way to fast but my family stayed in the time share with my aunt uncle & cousin & now my parents r thinking of getting a time share & i really hope they do cause I had a great time & i was very sad to come back home but im just gonna think of the best, that my parents get a time share & i get to come back soon =)

The view from our room was overlooking the pool area. We could sit on the balcony in the morning and drink coffee and just enjoy the beautiful scenery and weather. Couldn't have been much better.
