The Westin Ka'Anapali Ocean Resort Villas North

The property features a tranquil beachfront setting with dining options nearby. Guests enjoyed comfortable, spacious rooms and extensive amenities including pools, spa, and entertainment options.

I actually really enjoyed it. My room looked up to date. Very nice hotel staff at front desk and bell boys. Housekeeping could have been better. I liked the big tubs which i didn't get to use from coming home too tired every night after a full day out. I loved having the beach and reefs right there and being able to snorkel all along the coast. The swimming pools and jacuzzis looked nice too. The hotel lobby and grounds were pretty. I liked how you were able to walk to the other 2 resorts next door, and they had a farmers/ crafts market one day. I liked having the laundry in the room - you don't get that at the Marriott Kauai. I would have liked more selection of food than what the restaurants offered, but Whaler's Village was close by. I didn't like the parking spaces being so cramped and too narrow for your rental car.

This place has gone downhill since 2016. Room is highly dated. Concierge only available in main lobby and not at rest of the desks all over the complex. Room not properly cleaned when we arrived had to have them redo some items. Towels are mostly dirty some with lipstick stains on them when you get new ones. Cleaning of room is supposed to be daily but when you call and ask about it they always say we are not on cleaning schedule. The next day we are on the schedule for every day, and then again not on the schedule. For over $600 per night this is not worth the money, Taxes alone are over $100 plus the resort fee. Restaurant staff is friendly, but menus at only two places open are the exact same and highly overpriced. Food is actually boring after the first day. They lack most top shelf liquor at the bars. The restaurant/bar was closed for 2 days without any notice to guests other than a small handwritten note on the restaurant entry. The grocery stores are almost triple priced compared to anywhere else on the island. One store is supposed to be larger in the south building yet its about the same as the north side store with same things for sale at the high prices. They have palapas which fill up fast each day, The cabanas both at the pool and the beach are priced in a totally absurd way. Even 4 seasons prices are lower than these cabanas which are nothing but small areas with a couch vs. pool chairs. If you happen to have your stuff on the pool chairs, they will remove after an hour t if you decide to hang out in the water and not your chair. Pools are not the cleanest since they don't do a good job of cleaning them during the day. To get pool and beach towels you have to have a card from the front desk. Attendants really don't seem to like their job when handing out towels or collecting them. Wait they don't collect them; they tell you to throw them in the bins yourself while giving your card back first. Parking is $25 per day plus tax. Used to be free. I guess they want to make more money somehow. Overall, not a good place to visit compared to years ago.
