Great Value! We live on Oahu and searched for hotels with Kama Aina rates. That means discounts for locals. We got a very good price and the service was excellent.

The room was a bit dated but clean and the service staff that cleaned the room was as good as any other hotel I have been to (and that is many fine hotels as I travel for work).

The food was very good but not fantastic. The hotel is near a small shopping center which contains a couple of resturants. They had better food but they were also a bit more expensive.

The hotel itself is right on the beach and right near Black Rock and the Sheraton. The beach was clean, the grass was cut short and all the grounds were well taken care of. They charge you a per diem for parking but getting in and out was easy and with the price of the room, the parking cost wasn't horrible. Sorry, I can't remember the price of the parking.

The pool area was clean and neat and had an outdoor shower to clean off from the beach. There were plenty of lounge chairs with shady areas and sunny areas.

The bar and the snack food area reminded me of being on a cruise. Well located (near the pool), it allowed some of the guys to catch up on the east coast sports. The "snack" bar had more than snacks and I ate too much. Basic pub fare but jeez, some of these places offer prepackaged cookies and chips as pub fare!!

Lastly, some of the places on Maui are beginning to charge a "resort fee" ... I don't know what that is but this place doesn't charge a resort fee which I appreciated.

Had a great vacation and enjoyed the time at the hotel to relax and enjoy the sound of the surf during the day and the Hawaiian music played but a live Hawiian band at night.

Great family vaction with our 3 kids (ages 6, 4 and 18 months). The pool and waterslide were great. The room (oceanfront corner unit) was well appointed, very clean and roomy enough for the whole family. The staff/concierge were always helpful. The breakfast buffet was overpriced ($17.50 per adult) and not recommended. Fortunately, the kitchenette in the room allowed for preparation of breakfast. Overall, very pleased with our stay and would certainly return.

We visited KBC for our 10-year wedding anniversary. My husband and I are in our mid-to-late 30's and were not traveling with children. We had traded in our timeshare week for a week on this property. The property is lush and green. Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. Anytime we had questions, they were attentive to our needs.

Their happy hour at their casual restaurant is very nice. They have 1/2 price fruity drinks during happy hour. The food was expensive (as are most things in Maui), but pretty good, especially when we didn't feel like going off-property. The bartenders are pretty personable and friendly. I had breakfast in the mornings at the nicer/fine dining restaurant. The buffet is pretty basic and has omelets and such. The views of Lanai from the restaurant are amazing on a clear days. They also have a casual take-out cafe for fast-food type stuff. We didn't try this cafe during our stay.

We had a pretty sizeable room for the two of us. It was a one BR, king-size with living room and pull-out sofa. It had a dining room and kitchenette, with a full refrigerator, microwave, sink, toaster, and most kitchen cutlery. My only complaint was about the timeliness of room service. One day, we had been out all day and by 3 pm room service had not serviced our room. They arrived just as we got in at 3. Call me crazy, but I think room service should be done by then.

We were in room 906 in the Ohana Tower. The room had a balcony with a couple of chairs, a small drink table and a lounging chaise. I frequently sat on the balcony on the lounger reading early in the morning or right before sunset. We overlooked the adjacent property and the pool, but had a good side view of the ocean. The only thing that I was only slightly annoyed about, which KBC could do nothing about, was the early construction noise of the new property next door - - truck noise and such. If you're a sensitive sleeper, you may want to request a room on the other side of the resort.

I used the spa for a pedicure. It's by no means high-end, but gets the job done. The ladies there were very nice.

Parking is $13/day in the garage regardless of whether or not you self-park or use valet. From what I understand, this is pretty standard for properties in Maui. Parking was never a problem. The elevators were a bit slow, especially coming from the lower level to upper levels, but we weren't really in a rush for anything, so the wait was the wait.

The pool area has a waterfall pool area, a hot tub, a large pool, a kids pool and a water slide. It's pretty substantive and we never had issue finding open chairs at any time during the day.

For those of you who want to work out while on vacation, they have a small work out room with cardio equipment, free weights, and nautilus equipment. From my view from the balcony, the work out room seemed to be well-used, especially in the mornings. My husband hit it a couple of times, but I was no where near there during this vacation.

The beach that the resort is on is really pretty and didn't have many people on it. I'm thinking that we were there during non-peak, but I was really surprised that it wasn't bumper to bumper people. We were able to hang out really anywhere on the beach.

For eating off-resort, we hit Pizza Paradiso, in the shopping center across the street from KBC. I wish we had hit it earlier in our trip. It's pretty good stuff. Also, we were about 15 minutes from Old Lahaina town, where all the restaurants and shopping are. There's a convenience store (ABC store) to the left of the resort, within walking distance. It's good for getting your macadamia nuts, magnets, and cheesy Hawaiian souvenirs. You can also hit the Safeway in Lahaina on the way to KBC to grab groceries for the week if you want to eat in a couple of times.

I think that's it. All in all, it was a great experience. We would visit the resort again.

This is a time share formerly managed as Embassy Resorts; however, there was no hot breakfast each day. The 2BR-2BA condo #839 with sofabed was very spacious; a wraparound balcony provided stunning views of the beach and pool below. The kitchen included a microwave, full refrigerator , coffee maker and dishwasher. Other appliances included by request were electric skillet, toaster, rice cooker and crock pot. Unfortuantely there was no oven or range to cook a real meal. Housekeeping provided towel changes each day, but general cleaning only once during the weeklong stay. The decor in the outdoor lobby was Hawaiian, but the corridors were starkly devoid of anything. Free wireless internet is only available in the lobby. A small exercise room and game room are on the premises. Rental of beach cabanas and miniature golf games were not free. Local grocery store, pizza parlor and sandwich shops available within walking distance. The concierges were not knowledgeable in directing guests to local (not tourist) attractions.
