The Outrigger Maui Eldorado, an older but well-maintained mid-range property alongside Kaanapali's golf course, has large individually owned condo rentals that can make a good base for touring the area. Units vary by owner, but each has a private lanai and a full kitchen. There's no dining on-site, though many options exist nearby, and it's just a short drive to the center of Lahaina. The beach is about a five-minute walk from the Outrigger, and once there, guests can use the hotel's cabana, which includes bathrooms, a sundeck, and a kitchen. The rates are lower at the Outrigger than for rentals right on the beach, but be aware of the fees that can add up, especially for guests who opt for housekeeping.

The mid-range Mauian Hotel on Napili Beach is a peaceful oceanfront property with six standard guest rooms and 38 kitchen-equipped studios on the island’s northwestern coast. Features are limited here, as there are no restaurant, gym, or spa, but it’s a good pick for travelers wanting to cook themselves. A small outdoor pool, free-to-borrow beach chairs and towels, and free morning fruit and pastries are provided, as is free Wi-Fi, though it’s spotty. Standard rooms have microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and air-conditioning, while studios provide full kitchens, dining tables, and sofas. In order to retain a quiet, nature-centric environment, there are no in-room TVs, though one is available in a common room with movies and games. Note that some past guests have complained of thin walls creating noise issues. There are some restaurants in the area, plus the two Kapalua Golf courses. Travelers wanting a true resort should consider the Royal Lahaina Resort, which offers a good bang for your buck with its array of facilities and room types.
