Marriott's Maui Ocean Club - Molokai, Maui & Lanai Towers

Prime Location: The property is situated on the picturesque Kaanapali Beach with stunning ocean views from select rooms and easy access to Whalers Village, Black Rock for snorkeling, and golf courses.

I booked a 5 night stay here using my Bonvoy points. I was choosing between here and the Sheraton Maui Resort (Black Rock) but went with the Maui Ocean Club as they don't charge resort fees and their daily parking was cheaper. Those 2 things alone saved me a few hundred dollars. At one point, the point redemption differential between the 2 properties was about 25k points higher here vs the Sheraton but the dollar savings convinced me to go with this one. Plus, it got me a 1 bedroom suite with 2 bathrooms so it was a much bigger space. As this is a vacation club property, I knew going in that my Marriott Platinum status won't mean anything but it was ok as I didn't need a late checkout. We checked in promptly at 4pm. The clerk at the front desk explained the property pretty thoroughly although the one part I can't recall if she went over was the housekeeping. I say that because we didn't receive daily housekeeping but only 1 midweek housekeeping. I thought that because I booked my reservation directly through Marriott that I was granted daily housekeeping but that didn't seem to be the case. In the end, it didn't matter too much as it was just the 2 of us. The room itself was nice and clean. I liked that it had 2 balconies. Our room wasn't directly facing the beach but more at an angle. It worked out as our room didn't get much of the direct afternoon sun and thus the room stayed cool during our entire stay. Actually, our room was much cooler than it was outside just by having the balcony door open without the need for AC. One of the pools was closed for maintenance but the main pool was open. The property update site mentioned construction work would be happening during our stay but we didn't find that to be a problem at all. I enjoyed the slide in the main pool although I wish it was longer and stayed open later. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. Just hearing the ocean waves while getting ready to fall asleep was a treat in itself. We also liked watching the sunset from our balcony. The complimentary laundry facility was also a big deciding factor. I thought I'd have to wait for a washer/dryer to free up but they have about 10+ each so finding an empty one was never an issue. If I could make a suggestion though, I recommend posting signs to leave the washer door open while not in use. These were all front loading washers and if you close the door after use, the residual moisture inside the washer can't evaporate resulting in mold and mildew buildup plus that nasty dingy smell. I had to go through several washers before I managed to find one that didn't have that smell. One drawback was the proximity of the parking garage to our room. We were assigned to the farther garage so it took 5 minutes from room door to car door. A minor quibble and honestly not that big of a deal although it was a bit annoying when I realized halfway to my room that I forgot something in the car. The beach right in front of the property is at a steeper angle and much mor
