Royal Lahaina Resort
Hotel Information:
Built in the 1960s amid 27-acres of tropical gardens facing Kaanapali beach, the casual Royal Lahaina honors the past with a tiki-style Hawaiian ambience of wicker, rattan, a canoe on display, Polynesian (pitched) rooflines, and a Don the Beachcomber bar. Celebrating couples, golfers, families, and other leisure travelers come here for privacy and service combined with proximity to a prime beach and the amenities of the Kaanapali Resort.
Insider tip:
A favorite destination for weddings, the Royal Lahaina invites couples to sign concrete tiles, which it then places on footpaths near the luau grounds.
