Kahikinui Forest Reserve Vacation Packages

The visit was great. We stayed in the villa, the view was magical. The waterfalls on the property were accessable to walk down to and swim between the two. The night skies were unbelievable star gazing. The only thing it could use is air-conditioning. The nights were a little muggy just using fans.

The property was clean and nice. It did need some maintenance, but it was in good condition for its age. We liked how it was stocked to make our stay more comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay! The unit was exactly what we were looking for - spacious, comfortable, and in a great location close to the beach. The agent was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay, always quick to answer any questions. We really appreciated the excellent communication and would happily stay here again!

**ONE OF THE WORST HOTEL MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCES WE'VE HAD** We gave Royal Lahaina every opportunity to address our experience privately and even escalated it to their management company, with no response. We stayed for a week in June 2026 with two rooms. Three days before check-in, the hotel couldn't locate our confirmed reservation. After more than TWO HOURS on the phone, manager Gretchen told me they couldn't accommodate our requests, suggested we "book a better hotel like the Montage or the Ritz," said she was canceling our reservations, and hung up. I had to repeatedly call back to ensure our family still had rooms. Management later told me Gretchen received disciplinary action. We tried contacting Hotel Manager Yvette three times during our stay and left two voicemails. She never contacted us until two days after we left. A brief call with my wife was later characterized as accepting their "final resolution": a $75 beach-chair credit. Even after I emailed a detailed complaint, Yvette never personally responded. The resort itself fell short: housekeeping every other day despite a $45/night resort fee; two beach chairs cost another $75/day and were collected at 5 PM sharp; rude beach staff; and large gaps around our renovated room door that let in light, noise and bugs. After spending thousands on two rooms, fees, food and services, management's lack of ownership was the worst part. Ironically, their original advice was best: **Next time, we'll stay somewhere better.

We had an amazing time. We were close to the shops and beaches. The kids loved the pool and we had a beautiful view of the ocean. We would definitely stay there again.
