The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka’anapali: The All-You-Can-Enjoy Buffet of Pleasures Starts Here

Thank you to our West Coast writer Kathy Leong for this great piece on the Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka’anapali

For addicts of four-star hotels and ocean sunsets, the Westin Maui Resort & Spa is endowed with all the elements of a tropical paradise…and then some. Where shall we start? The six-pack of swimming pools with not just one, but two waterslides? The infinity hot tub overlooking the Pacific with layers of sand to massage your toes? Or how about the flamingo-laden koi ponds embraced by waterfalls and gardens? In addition to these trimmings, the hotel honors Maui’s cultural roots, and to that extent, the Westin celebrates all that makes Hawaii, Hawaii.

At this 769-room oceanfront oasis, expect a lei greeting upon check-in at the open air lobby. Look around. Orchids, anthurium, ginger plants clinging to rock walls, and lush plantings will leave the most jaded horticulturalist dizzy with delight. Everything appeals to the senses — mist from the waterfalls, scents of the ocean, strums of Hawaiian guitar music and more.
