Royalty (continued)



This weekend we had the pleasure of staying at a resort we had never laid eyes on before. And it was eye-opening ! We discovered the most gorgeous stretch of beach in Kaanapali, slept in beds rivaling any of the resorts known for their bedding, enjoyed gorgeous views and a sprawling oeanfront property, and got to know the fabulous and friendly staff at the Royal Lahaina.

Day 1, we had an evening reception and tour of hte property. Day 2 - my son Max's birthday - we attended a rolicking Keiki Holiday Party in the ballroom, then did some shopping at the nearby Whaler's Village and had cake in the lobby for Max's birthday that night. Day 3 we all slept in - heavenly !

The RL has been going through a very major renovation - they spent about $130,000 per guest room updating, upgrading, stripping everything down to the drywall and building it back up again. And it shows - the rooms are gorgeous.

There is another phase of the project coming up - but for now, there are INCREDIBLE bargains to be had at this property. I was stunned. I am heading back later this winter for a few nights in one of their gorgeous suites, and I'll have more pictures then - but for now, I am putting the bug in your ear - the Royal Lahaina is buzzing !
