Fodor's Expert Review Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa
2605 Kaanapali Pkwy., Kaanapali, Hawaii, 96761, USA
Set among dense gardens on Kaanapali's best stretch of beach, the Sheraton offers a quieter, more low-key atmosphere than its neighboring resorts and sits next to and on top of the 80-foot-high Puu Kekaa, scene of a nightly torch-lighting and cliff-diving ritual. All rooms, upgraded in 2018, have plenty of amenities, including 50-inch flat-screen TVs, and the massive swimming pool resembles a natural lagoon, with rock waterways and wooden bridges; the Spa at Black Rock offers oceanfront services. Dining options range from casual poolside drinks and light fare to upscale Japanese and farm-to-table cuisine. And don't check out before sharpening your fire-knife dance skills, part of the free cultural activities offered along with lei making and hula.
