The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka'anapali

Sitting about 4 miles south of the Kapalua Airport along the Kaanapali Coast, The Westin Maui Resort & Spa feels more like a theme park then a resort. The property features 87,000-square-foot network of five separate pools joined by swim-through grottos, waterfalls and even a giant waterslide – giving nearby resorts a run for their money. But this Westin property will appeal to couples as well thanks to its Heavenly Spa and luxurious guest rooms. Accommodations here are dressed in creamy hues and feature Westin's signature Heavenly beds, HD flat-screen TVs and private lanais (balconies). With such a wide appeal, it's not surprising that travelers complain of dense crowds; in other words, you'll need to get up as early as 7 a.m. if you want a chair to lounge in around the aforementioned pool. And with so many travelers to please, the customer service here isn't always up to Marriott standards, some visitors say. Others say the price is high for what you get, but if you're a member of the Marriott Bonvoy program, you can cut costs by earning and redeeming points here.
