Napili Point Resort

Beautiful view, well-​maintained grounds, access to snorkeling steps away from condo, close to store and napili bay beach all work to make this spot the bomb. Cannot wait to return and lose myself in the Maui mojo here — which means of course watching the sunburn happen to my nose while doing absolutely nothing at all.

I try to visit Maui every year, whenever I visit I stay at Napili Point. I’ve been fortunate to travel a lot of the world, still Napili Point is one of the most beautiful places that I’ve been. Every unit at Napili Point is individually owned, they are equipped with full kitchens and daily housekeeping. Napili Point is very charming and low key, this is where you go to disconnect from the world.
As always, thanks Rod for making our stay so enjoyable, see you next year.

Awesome place.
Best place in the world to see Turtles.
The grounds are well kept and the condo’s are amazing.
We just stayed in B38 and it was great.
Great place to take children. The Gazebo Restaurant is nice.
You can walk everywhere!
The kitchen was brand new.
Our children were in heaven all week.
We love Napili Point

A really nice place. I usually stay in Kanapali, but this is just a little more north and it’s very nice. The snorkeling is great and it’s RIGHT THERE. Each condo is different and the staff in the office is very friendly. Easy parking. My only negative is that the wifi did not work in the condo, like it was supposed to… it was free. Friendly maid service and beautful views. I would come back for sure! I stayed in C41. I read the cute guest book they have on the coffee table and I did have to agree with one review someone wrote in it; there really were so very many decorative items that it was hard to find places for my own things. Every inch and flat surface had something on it. But, that is not necessarily a negative, because it made it homey and attractive to look at also.

Great basic place!
Good way to be able to cook and keep the food costs down.
Great location to wake up and go snorkeling with the turtles in the bay you are looking at. No joke one morning we counted at least 15 turtles. A little rough getting in and out of the water. But what more can you ask for being able to walk 200 yards from your door to see what you sometimes have drive to.
The amenities are defiantly good. Not high end but good enough for what you pay.
The real thing that makes this place is being able to snorkel at a great location right outside your door!

Have been here for the last 10 – 15 years, every time is amazing! hate to give the best kept secret on Maui!

Updating based on a July, 2013 visit. Still a great place and a great value.
See previous review for details.

Nice place we stayed in c41. Prefect spot for snorkeling. Short walk to a beauitful beach.

They cancelled our BOOKED reservation without notice via email, phone or anything else. We got a confirmation # but they claimed it was only a 24 hour hold. No one told us! Thanks for my 50^th b-​day gift folks! Now we have a flight and no place to stay. Great. Seems like the facility is quality — the people? not so much.

I stayed with some family unit C21 and this place was beautiful. Nice clean condos with everything you might need. Not to mention some of the best snorkeling on the island. I went about 5 times and this was the best right out the front door. Saw about 15 sea turtles without any effort searching for them.

My wife and I have stayed there five times. For the price it is awesome. The rooms are so close to the water. The shoreline bay is great for snorkeling. You are walking distance to Kapalua bay. The Gazebo is next door; great breakfasts and lunches. You drive through a neighborhood setting to get to the resort, but still close to everything.

I am reluctant to write this review since it will disclose a great secret.
Napili Point Resort, just below the Kapalua area, is on a lava bluff surrounded by a private cove (with numerous turtles if you snorkel), and Napili Beach. (Honokeana Bay) The restaurants are the Gazebo and, after a walk along Napili Beach, the Sea House.
We stayed here for a week beginning on December 4. If you want to stay at a place where you delight in reserving pool chairs, paying $ 600/​night for a room, waking through a 20-​foot high ceiling lobby with marble or travertine floors, being around signature art, and celebrity chef restaurants, being seen in your latest high fashion outfits, swimming in artificial landscaped pools with waterfalls, or having a marble tiled bathroom, or paying a premium price for a mountain view, and keeping the hoi polloi away, this is not the place for you.
However, if you like having a condo so close to the ocean you can see and hear the waves breaking on the shore, and with a very helpful, friendly staff, this is the place. The rooms range from one bedroom with a large living room, to two bedrooms with an upstairs loft. Our room also had a compact washer/​dryer. All the rooms have a lanai with a table and lounge chair. The resort has a feel of Hawaii in the 60’s, before development of resort complexes such as Kaanapali or Wailea.
The condos are fully equipped kitchens, high-​speed Internet access, and full maid service every three days with towels changed daily if you wish. The one thing we wish had changed (and it may be a function of the one bedroom) is that the bathroom was quite small, and a shower (with shower heads on both walls), not a bath tub.
Our flight here was delayed, so we arrived here late at night after the office had closed. The manager had left our key with the security guard, who walked us to our room.
We will be back.

We honestly couldn’t have pictured a better place to stay in Maui! Our second story loft bedroom overlooked a 2 story window with a view of the bay and of the island of Lanai in the distance. I imagine the décor is dependent on the owners tast but ours was awesome. All new kenmore elite appliances, modern furniture, and everything we could need for a week long stay. We were in unit C16 and the owner, Ann, was the perfect host.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quieter more romantic stay in west Maui without being packed in to a more cramped touristy hotel or resort.

What an awesome place! We had a condo right on the cove with an excellent view of the ocean. We could either snorkle with the sea turtles right outside or walk minutes away to the beach. Quick drive to Lahaina and Napili Market is right up the road. We flew into Kapalua airport which was a five minute drive away. Go next store to the Gazebo for banana macadamia pancakes, yummy. I am looking forward to staying here again!

I’ve been staying at Napili Point for years and have loved it every time. I couldn’t imagine staying in a big crowded maze of a hotel while on vacation in Maui. Napili Point has one of the best stretches of shoreline as it sits on a cove that serves as a turtle sleeping and hangout area. I will say that the assortment of fish, and the quality of coral and plantlife in the cove has greatly diminished over the years; where people go, nature tends not to fare well.
Can’t wait to get back with the family!

There is no better snorkeling than there is right in front in a practically private cove. Go right ahead and pay $ 200 for a trip to molokini… you won’t be bumping into sea turtles like you will out front of Napili.
There are tide pools right out front and a beach just a few steps down the path. You’ll wake up to the sound of waves crashing since there is nothing between you and the ocean.
To the person whining about the pool. you’re on MAUI…2 minutes away from THE BEACH… at a mellow CONDO RESORT. If you want a fancy pool then go stay at some sterile overpriced high rise where you’ll have a view of the parking lot.
The places are maintained by the owners of the condos… so the décor inside will vary. Do your research ahead of time and request a specific condo. Lots of condos even have their own websites.

We just wanted something easy. We are divers and this was to be a quick trip. We found the perfect place in Napili (thanks to my Unilocal friend Megan).
A little one bedroom, all the comforts of home sitting atop the greatest little snorkeling bay complete with turtles. Yes, a little herd of turtles, a flock of eagle rays and a few eels for good measure live right outside the patio slider. Just a few rocks to climb down and you are in a some lovely water.
Good spot, don’t tell anyone. ;-)

PROS:
Free Parking
Daily maid service
Great Views
Short walk to sandy beach
Cove with sea turtles
CONS:
Condos are out dated, some more than others
No air conditioning
TIP: When you arrive, ask to view a couple condos. They vary so greatly in furnishings, appliances, etc. We arrived and were SHOCKED with our condo. The carpet was icky and stained, the appliances were from the 60’s and stuff was falling apart. The bed was gross, and we were so uncomfortable our first night. In the morning, we asked to see another condo, and ended up moving to a much nicer one. After the move our stay was enjoyable.
This place is probably better for those travelers who are out all day, and don’t mind not having a modern living environment.

The coolest thing I remember about this place is the loft style «bedroom». The loft is above the living room. Your bed faces this two story window with a spectacular view of the bay. Imagine waking up every morning with the ocean pretty much in your face… only w/​o the sand in your shorts.
Quiet and generally clean. (I went quite a few years ago, though.) Went in October and the weather was as nice as can be.

Oh, Napili… you make a perfect 500^th review because I love you and can’t wait to go back! Napili is right near the fancier Kapalua but you can rent a fairly large condo for a pretty reasonable price. Then, you can still enjoy the golf courses with views at Kapalua. When I was younger, my family would enjoy Maui vacations in three-​bedroom, two-​story, Napili Point condos.
The pool is very nice and there are tons of geckos and frogs on the premises. It’s a short trek to the beach from most of the condos but nothing bad.
The condos have great kitchens, nice décor, and a great lay-​out. It’s been too long and I’m ready to go back!
