Bottom Line

The mid-range Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach is a peaceful oceanfront property with six standard guest rooms and 38 kitchen-equipped studios on the island’s northwestern coast. Features are limited here, as there are no restaurant, gym, or spa, but it’s a good pick for travelers wanting to cook themselves. A small outdoor pool, free-to-borrow beach chairs and towels, and free morning fruit and pastries are provided, as is free Wi-Fi, though it’s spotty. Standard rooms have microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and air-conditioning, while studios provide full kitchens, dining tables, and sofas. In order to retain a quiet, nature-centric environment, there are no in-room TVs, though one is available in a common room with movies and games. Note that some past guests have complained of thin walls creating noise issues. There are some restaurants in the area, plus the two Kapalua Golf courses. Travelers wanting a true resort should consider the Royal Lahaina Resort, which offers a good bang for your buck with its array of facilities and room types.

The Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach

What Are the Design and Scene Like at The Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach?

This laid-back property has an old-fashioned Hawaii style, few amenities, and a great beachfront setting.

Set directly along beautiful Napili Bay, The Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach provides a low-key, peaceful getaway for couples and families alike. Unlike the many mega-resorts in Maui, there aren’t a ton of features here, with little more than a stretch of beach, small outdoor pool, and TV room with games to occupy travelers. Well-manicured grounds are gorgeous, with verdant green lawns, magenta cockscomb flowers, and palm and plumeria trees. An old-fashioned Hawaiian vibe pervades the property, with a simple service window acting as the check-in desk, a straw palapa-shaded terrace by the pool, and simple wicker furniture in the Ohana Room (TV room with tables, games, and books.

Most rooms here are studios with simple kitchens and sofas, attracting guests looking to save money by cooking in their rooms. There are no TVs in rooms and the Wi-Fi is patchy, making it a good option for tourists wanting a laid-back, quiet vacation. However, the room walls are thin and this can lead to noise issues.

What Are Rooms Like at The Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach?

Contemporary, air-conditioned rooms have microwaves and furnished terraces, but no TVs.

The Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach has six standard hotel rooms and 38 studios, all housed in simple two-story buildings facing a central lawn and pool. Decor varies a bit by room category, but largely they have beige tile floors, attractive wooden furniture, and fabrics in neutral hues or blue and green shades. Floral-patterned throw pillows, plant-inspired lamps, and Hawaiian artwork add some character in the simple spaces. All units have private lanais (terraces) with tables and chairs.

The entry-level Pool View Hotel Rooms come with air-conditioning, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, plus contemporary bathrooms with granite countertops, walk-in showers, hairdryers, and toiletries. Studios, meanwhile, range from Pool View Studios to One Bedroom Units to BeachFront Studios that are mere steps from the sand. Studios have air-conditioning, complete kitchens with two-burner stovetops and full-size refrigerators, dining tables and chairs, and sofas. Blenders, paper towels, and all necessary cookware and dishware are provided. The One Bedroom Units have ovens, separate living spaces, and dishwashers.

Be aware that rooms have thin walls, which may cause noise issues for some.

What Features Are Available at The Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach?

There's no restaurant, but a small outdoor pool and free beach chairs are provided.

There are limited features at The Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach. Its crowning features is the direct access to the lovely beach, which is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, the beach is a bit narrow – particularly in front of the property – and the tide can make it even smaller. Beach chairs (not loungers) and towels are provided, but umbrellas are not. Near the beach are two shuffleboard courts.

A small outdoor pool set back from the beach is also available, with adjacent loungers and tables and chairs. There are no umbrellas here either, though there is a shaded area with seating. Three barbecue grills are also set up by the pool.

As nearly all rooms lack televisions, some travelers may appreciate the Ohana Room, which has a big TV and library of movies, books, and games. There are tables and chairs here, which are mostly occupied in the mornings when a spread of simple pastries (mostly bread), fresh fruit, jams, and Kona-blend coffee is provided. There’s no full restaurant on-site, so guests either cook in their rooms or eat off property.

Coin-operated laundry machines and an ice-maker are available. Parking and Wi-Fi are both free, but the Wi-Fi signal is a bit spotty.
