I have stayed at Napili Shores twice. Both times, I have loved our garden view room, the pools, Fish and Poi restaurant, and awesome Gazebo dining. This is not a fancy location, but is in great proximity to beaches and not far from Kaanapali and lahaina.
When we stayed this time, I noticed the area is struggling in the current. To keep the rooms full, Napili Shores is renting rooms to traveling construction workers. They fill the rooms with 4 or more workers -- probably to save money. The unfortunate part is that they start drinking when they get off work and hang out on the stairs. They go to bed early - 9 pm -- but wake up to head off to work around 5 am and are very noisey and creud.
Surprisingly, this problem recurred 3 times. The "Irish guys" left and were replaced by two other equally rowdy crews. The foul language was unfortunate since we were traveling with our young children.
Call me a prude, but it's not what I had hoped for during our annual family vacation.
Be warned, if you see the concierge for help with booking activities, she will push attending a time share presentation. She made a dreadful recommendation for the Royal Lahaina Luau. I suspect it was because she gets the best cut for the referral. It was over crowded, the drinks were watered down, the food was reminicient of a high school cafeteria, and restrooms were filthy! I've seen many luaus and this was just sad.
On a final high note, we saw lots of fish and turtles when snorkling. And the concierge did recommend a zodiak trip to see whales. They were phenominal!!!
Happy travels!
