1. Location
Sheraton Maui Resort has definitely got the best part of Kaanapali Beach. It is build into the side of a cliff on the curving white-sand cove next to the famous Black Rock (Pu’u Keka’a), one of Maui’s best snorkeling spots. This 80-foot lava rock foundation that is featured in many Hawaiian legends is right in front of Sheraton Maui. Black Rock is a magic place, “hill creating strength through enlightment”.
The grounds at Sheraton Maui are enormous, encompassing 23 oceanfront acres. When you first enter the lobby, a panorama of natural wonders unwraps before your eyes: the cobalt blue Pacific, the golden sands of Kaanapali, coconut palms, neighboring islands in the distance, and a 142-yard fantastic oceanfront swimming lagoon surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. There are koi (carp) you can feed with fish food provided by the Sheraton – kids will love it.
