We spent a delightful two weeks in Maui in unit C-35, at the Napili Point Resort. The view was amazing and this two bedroom unit had a recently remodeled kitchen and baths. The location was quiet and the property overlooked a snorkeling bay with views of the ocean and the island of Lanai. We would highly recommend this unit.

We were very pleased with our unit at Napili Point Resort. We were not sure what to expect since I booked a 2 night stay online and was not sure what we were in for. After 1 day we called the airline and car rental company , contacted the front desk and was told we could stay in A-12..... stayed an extra 2 nights. Someday we hope to go back to Paradise.

We stayed here the middle of January though the middle of February. We booked one of the A-units directly through the owner afterreading several offers on line. Since we booked over a year in advance, we had no problems getting the unit we wanted. In fact our unit was guaranteed. There are three categories of A-units: point ocean front (A 1-12); ocean front (A 13-19) and ocean view (A 21-27). The point ocean front units are the most expensive, with view of both Moloka'i and Lana'i, while ocean view units have the lower pool in front of the turtle cove and glimpses of the two islands. The ocean front units, like the one we stayed in, overlook Lana'i and the turtle cove. With only nine feet from the grassy knoll, these units are ideal for lounging, gazing at the windsurfers/surfers and the turtles. If there is any drawback to these units, it's that many people choose to linger in awe of the turtles while standing directly in front of the lanai.

There are other units, to be sure. In fact, there are 120 units altogether. B units and C units are located by the upper level but a ways back from the A level unitls. (Photos give the erroneous impression that there are three levels--there are only two).
The C-level units are two-bedroom units and are fine for families or two couples. The loft-level bedroom has no door to ensure privacy. Access to these room are from the parking lot only. One must take a connecting path to the pools and beach walk.

What I find amazing about the A units is that one cannot hear conversations from inside the neighboring units. Unless a nearby units is chatting outside, these units are usually quiet. Be advised that strollers like to talk and this sound reverberates into the A units. At night, this isn't much of a problem. Outdoor gas grills are spaced apart on the grounds to allow grilling. On Monday afternoons, the management hosts a mai-tai party for everyone. Maids will drop a note to remind guests! Also in the reminder slip is a note that resident Nani likes to "talk story" while showing guests Hawaiian vegetation and also to learn the proper way to choose and cut a pineapple. Check the in-unit reminders for times and location.

Why am I giving this property four circles instead of five? Many of the units cater to massive turnover and the units do show wear and tear, although with limited maid service, these are usually clean. Other units are reguarly maintained with their owners constantly updating and replacing fixtures and furnishings. These are ideal units and while small (A units are 600 square feet) they are supremely comfortable.

There have been so many fine reports about nearby restaurants that to repeat them would be redundant. The newly renovated Ritz Carlton (Kapalua) has a magnificent $27 breakfast buffet "plus." I say "plus" because the servers will serve oatmeal, fresh mahi-mahi (yes, at breakfast!), and even bowls of fresh berries. I find the quality very high and certainly justifies the high price tag. Besides, this will eliminate the need to go out and splurge later! The Sea House restaurant, in addition to serving what I consider a first-class breakfast, offers a special slack key guitar program on Wednesday evenings. Expensive at $45, it nevertheless presents authentic island music and often features the Ukulele Boyz, an island treasure. (What used to be Fish & Poi at the Island Surf is undergoing a name change; the management has already changed.)

A stay at this resort is uncommonly satisfying. I am confident most will find this medium -end lodging worth the money.

We stayed in condo C-20, a 2 bed/ 2 bath unit. The condo is just a bit worn but otherwise very nice and clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The upper level condos at Napili Point provide fabulous views of the ocean and cove. You can watch the whales from the patio! In the 2 bedroom condos the upstairs bedroom is a loft style and open to the lower main floor. There is no a/c but the open windows and ceiling fans provide plenty of moving air and we were never uncomfortable. The open windows also allow you to listen to the ocean just below. Our condo had a very large wall mounted HDTV with many channels of digital cable (you won’t use the TV a lot, but it’s nice to have just in case).

Snorkeling is very good in the cove outside your condo and several sea turtles are always around. Also, it’s a short walk along an unfinished path to a very nice beach next door. If the ocean is not your thing, there are two clean and well maintained pools on property.

We had our kids along (boys, ages 6 & 9) and they loved Napili Point. There were not many kids here during our stay but that could have been due to our traveling during a time when schools are normally in session.

There are many restaurants within a short drive; several grocery stores close by; very close to Kapalua Resort; and about a 10-15 minute drive into Lahina.

Overall, Napili Point is a very nice place to stay and the prices are very fair for what you get compared to other properties on Maui.

You can Google this specific unit (C-20) for photos and information on how to rent directly from the owner. We rented through the resort.

The previous review of Napili Point by "belltravelers" is an excellent review with information we consider very accurate.

In the area we enjoyed eating at The Gazebo (yes, it's worth the wait), Roy's, Hula Grill, and Lahaina Grill. The kids really liked Roy's.
