Maui Eldorado B200-Large lanai w/ocean/golf course views

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at a lot of places on Maui, and honestly? The Eldorado B200 surprised me. You walk into this corner unit and – wow – that lanai just opens up to this incredible sweep of ocean and golf course. I mean, we’re talking about waking up to Molokai floating on the horizon while golfers are already out there chasing their first bogey of the day.

The thing about Ka’anapali is that everyone talks about the big resort hotels, but the Eldorado sits right in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk to Whalers Village (maybe 8 minutes if you’re not dragging beach chairs), but far enough back that you’re not dealing with the pool party chaos. The unit itself is way more spacious than you’d expect – that “large lanai” isn’t marketing speak, it actually fits a table, chairs, and still has room to sprawl out with a book. The kitchen’s fully equipped too, which saved us probably $200 in restaurant breakfasts alone. Pro tip: there’s a Foodland just down on Lower Honoapiilani Road where you can grab everything you need without the resort markup.

What really got me was how quiet it stays, even during peak season. The golf course acts like this natural buffer, so instead of hearing traffic or construction, you get the occasional “nice shot!” drifting up and the sound of sprinklers at dawn. The complex has this older Hawaii vibe – not Instagram-perfect, but authentic in a way that feels comfortable rather than stuffy. Parking’s easy (trust me, this matters when you’re hauling coolers and snorkel gear), and the pool area never felt crowded when we were there in March. The only thing that might bug some people is that it’s not directly on the beach – you’ll walk about 5 minutes to get to Ka’anapali Beach proper, but honestly, that beach can get pretty packed anyway. Sometimes we’d drive up to Napili Bay instead, which is only like 15 minutes north and way less touristy.

You know what sealed it for me though? Sitting on that lanai around 6 PM with a local beer, watching the light change on the water while someone down on the golf course was clearly having the round of their life (lots of celebrating). It’s that kind of place where you actually relax instead of feeling like you need to be “doing” something every minute. For a 3-star place with a 9.0 rating, it punches way above its weight – and now I get why people come back to the same unit year after year.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Hawaii at least two months ahead of their visit to ensure availability and secure better rates, especially during the peak winter season when the islands host numerous cultural festivals and outdoor activities.
