Kaanapali Alii & Kaanapali Beach (Maui)

We spent the first 5 nights of our vacation at the Kaanapali Alii on Kaanapali Beach. It was beautiful.

I have so many pictures like this. Obviously beautiful sunsets were on the daily. I really enjoyed this part of our vacation for a couple of reasons:

Our room was more of a condo than a room. We had a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Because of the kitchen we were able to spend the WHOLE day at the beach. We came in for lunch then stayed back out until sunset. Didn't have to waste time getting all prettied up for dinner. Brad cooked up the fish and it was DELICIOUS. And thanks to the washer/dryer, I could work out without having to be worried about stinking up my whole suitcase (and trust me I'm OCD and would worry about something so silly).

The gym was awesome. Great views, lots of treadmills, all with TV's, and they had COOL TOWELS. What a great idea!

The waves at the beach were huge. Perfect for boogie boards. There were a lot of local guys doing some crazy stuff on them. 

Here's B-rad coming in from riding the waves:

There was a world famous snorkeling site right down the beach from us (walking distance), Black Rock.

 I LOVE to snorkel. And it was even more amazing than usual because this guy made an appearance:



Isn't he beautiful?!?! It was so amazing to swim with him!
