Sheraton Ka'anapali vs Westin Ka'anapali

Has anyone recently stayed at either the Sheraton or Westin Maui? We hope to book a trip for this fall and are deciding between these hotels. Any tips on which one is the better property?

 ETA: We will be staying under a corporate Starwood discount, so other hotels would not be an option for us.

Re: Sheraton Ka'anapali vs Westin Ka'anapali

  • Between the two, I prefer the Westin.  I just think the grounds are nicer and the feel a bit more upscale.  I have not stayed at either - my MIL and SILs have stayed at the Westin twice.

    There's a Shuttle between them, so check out the snorkeling at the Sheraton.  

  • Only stayed at the Westin and it was nice - but it's crowded.  The parking can be hard if you're looking to get out first thing in the am (we dive, so leaving at 6 am for a dive boat was sometimes hard the way they pack the cars in).  But all in all, it's convenient and you can actually walk between both the Sheraton and Westin. Depending on when you go might determine the crowds.   The Whalers Village is close to Westin and b/t both Westin and Sheraton so it offers more restaurants within walking distance, plus you can walk the other direction towards the Marriot.
  • I really like the pool at the Westin.  Big Smile

  • I think the Sheraton has a nicer location at Black Rock.

    They are both nice - can't go wrong but I would choose the Sheraton.

  • The pool is definitely nicer at the Westin, but the beach view at the Sheraton is better. We stayed at the Sheraton while my sister in law stayed at the Westin a few years ago and I would have preferred the Westin if it wasn't so expensive.

  • I just got back from staying at the sheraton last week and it was my fav. of all our hotels!

    The staff (in my experience) was beyond exceptional. We got shell and flower lei service upon check-in, valet is only an extra $5 a night (on top of your resort fee). I didn't see the Westin pool but really liked the ones at the Sheraton (all connected so you don't actually have to get out of the water to move to a different area).

    And the location (right at black rock) is awesome for snorkeling, watching cliff diving, etc.

    The one negative was their food bar and grill food (didn't try anything else). It sucked. Hard. Not that I expect a lot from poolside dining, but it was really bad. However, with access to Whaler's Village and other hotel restaurants nearby, it was never a big issue for us.
