Scene
A simple, casual waterfront setting along the scenic Napili Bay makes it a beach-goers' paradise
Filled with the scent of the ocean and featuring an airy and relaxing vibe, the Napili Surf Beach Resort is an ideal spot for couples and families looking for a simple beach holiday. If doing nothing but lounging around on the sand and splashing about in the water all day is on the agenda, staying at this resort is a good option. It's best for those who just want to get away from it all, but are not in need of frills, since this hotel is fairly basic. The tranquil Napili Bay is great for every kind of water sport, whether it's scuba diving or snorkeling, and guests can schedule recreational activities right at the hotel. Guests can also stop by the laid-back front desk, painted a cool blue and white, and peruse the brochures for more adventurous action.
Location
Located on the tranquil Napili Bay, it's great for couples and families looking for a simple beach vacation
Other than the golf course right next to the resort, there isn't much to do at the resort aside from relax. The quiet location makes it ideal for tourists interested in a leisurely vacation. It's probably not as convenient for business travelers, though, since it's not in a commercial area. Lahaina is about a 15-minute drive from the hotel so the property offers the best of both worlds, as guests have easy access to the beach and are also within close proximity of central Maui. The Whalers Village Museum is about five miles south of the resort for those interested in sightseeing. Dining options for seafood and pizza are three miles away.
Rooms
Simple and bright rooms with basic furnishings and tropical decor that could use a refresh
Rooms are clean and basic with simple furnishings and an island theme (think bright paintings depicting nature and tropical plants, ocean blue bedding with a palm leaf print, wicker furnishings, and walls painted a soothing shade of light blue). This typical tropical decor could use a refresh, however, as it looks a bit outdated. The kitchens are spacious and feature beige granite countertops and cabinets. They come fully equipped with microwaves, refrigerators, cutlery, and spice racks. All rooms have balconies with ocean or garden views. Overall, rooms are nice but not dazzling. Guests can choose from one-bedroom and studio room types with oceanfront, partial oceanfront, and garden views. Upgrading to the one-bedroom category gets you a full living room that includes a pullout sofa and a dining table for four.
Features
Easy beach access, an array of ocean activities (e.g. snorkeling, scuba diving), and two small pools
This tranquil, intimate property features two outdoor pools (albeit on the small side) and various barbecue areas surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. Its location directly on the Napili Bay means guests have easy beach access and plenty of opportunity to participate in water sports such as snorkeling and scuba diving. Families may appreciate the babysitting services and laundry room. Freebies include Wi-Fi and parking, but the hotel lacks any major amenities, such as a restaurant or fitness center.
