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.

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.
