So, originally I wanted to stay in the Kaanapali Region at a resort. Then I checked out the prices and knew I did not want to ask my guests to pay so much to our weddingI have a party of 90 staying at the Kaanapali Shores. We chose it because it is close to Lahaina and Kaanapali Beach. It is also very reasonable, newly renovated and has awesome reviews on Trip Advisor. It's nice because it has lots of "condo" features like larger rooms and kitchens but it also has lots of resort-like gardens and public gathering areas aswell as a restaurant and bar. The beach is a bit rocky but you are literally a 5 min walk to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and all the resorts 5 mins away are twice the price.....
I was looking into condos in Kihei but I had friends stay there and said it was DEAD after 8:00 pm every night. I Have a wide range of guests, some of which I know would like to go out and explore some nightlife so I wanted to be near places that offer that.
Another awesome thing is how many different types of rooms they have at all different prices!
