I’ve stayed at the Kaanapali Ali’i multiple times over the years as it’s my favorite location but this was my least favorite unit. As soon as we walked into the unit, one of the sliding screen doors is just leaning against the wall. First use of the master bath and the sink stopper doesn’t work (open/close) so sink fills with water. Long black hair stuck to the wall outside the toilet/shower area in master bath. Master area smelled musty with the laundry area smelling worse. I called property mgmt. twice within 20 minutes of arrival about all 4 issues. They came the next day and fixed the screen and sink but the hair remained and they didn’t have air freshener for the musty smell. Additional things with the unit:
1) AC vents all need cleaning. They’re dusty and some evidence of mold in the master bedroom.
2) AC in main living does not shut off when you open the lanai doors. It never shuts off even when thermostat reads “off”.
3) Went to hang a towel on a hook in the master bath and the hook/towel fell to the ground. (Not tightened to bracket)
4) The kitchen faucet is loose. You turn it on/off or adjust temp and the entire faucet moves.
5) Not all kitchen cabinet doors close completely. (Pantry, below sink, above pantry)
6) Icemaker worked for the first day and then stopped making ice
7) Microwave above stove isn’t working. The tabletop microwave was awkward to use and hard to access. The lack of over stove microwave also meant no vent while cooking
8) Water temp range for handheld shower in master bath is minimal. Can’t get a cool or hot shower.
9) No vents in either bathroom so it gets steamy.
A couple of things I did appreciate: beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella for guest use, great water pressure in showers, nice table/chairs on lanai.
For the price, this unit did not meet expectations.
