The Marriott Maui Ocean Club, formally a Marriott Hotel, now converted to a timeshare property. The property has four towers. The towers on each end of the property are newer and contain suites with full kitchens while the older towers in the center of the property contain suites with mini kitchens (microwave, mini-refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and blender, there is no stove or stove top). We stayed in a one bedroom in one of the older towers. Bedroom was large with a comfortable king bed, bathroom and large screen flat TV. We overlooked one of the pools and had a partial view of the ocean. Living room/kitchen area had a comfortable sleeper sofa, bathroom and a smaller flat screen TV. The units were quite. Not once did we hear any noise from adjoining units or units above us. There is a large gym facility open 24 hours. Use room key for access. There is a free laundry facility on site. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. We had two maintenance issues and those issues were addressed within minutes of our call. This resort only has one restaurant, Longboards, which is only open for supper, however, there is a full service Starbucks on site and restaurant facilities at surrounding resorts and the Whalers Village are an easy walk away. We did attend the timeshare sales presentation and found the sales rep to be very friendly and not pushy. Just south of Ka'anapli Beach is Lahaini with it's shopping, restaurants and boat harbour. We ate a some great places - The Plantation House, Merriman's, Hula grill, Leliani's, Kimos, Dukes.

We love Maui and love the Marriott! Its always clean and the people are very friendly. We've been coming here almost 5 yrs now and can hardly wait to come back next year!

For the price, you don't get much - there are better deals on the island. Thought the staff was very snooty and rude, especially the security people - I called to report my daughter's cut foot from sliding down the kiddie-pool slide (she landed in the pebbles at the bottom and something down there sliced the bottom of her foot open!) They must have thought I was out for something, because they got very defensive and tried to put the blame on me. Really! I simply reported it so they could check for sharp objects so it didn't happen to anyone else, despite me telling them that over and over they kept telling me it was her fault. Sad what this world is coming to, but I expected much better facilities and service based on the price of the rooms.

We stayed here for a week in Nov '11. This is a great hotel for families with young kids. The Pirate ship, the beach and the pool can keep you and your kids occupied for a long time.

Do note that the beach in this area of town is quite small although the beach in front of Marriott is shorter than that in front of other properties.

The view & the experience can be quite spectacular if you can get one of the ocean front rooms.

There are a variety of different rooms here and some only offer partial kitchens. So, please check in advance and plan accordingly.
