texaspesina Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 This is what it says on Hotwire:4-star hotel in Ka'anapaliThis hotel features the following amenities:Beachfront Property is located on the beach. Oceanfront Property is located along the ocean, but not directly on a beach. For example, the hotel may be situated on a bluff along the coastline. I have looked at the list of Hotwire 4* resorts you have listed and the only one I could think would be on a cliff would be the Sheraton. Do you think this is the Sheraton based on the above description? Thanks for any help.ap Link to comment

(the Hyatt has been reported with the amenities above plus the addition of an Oceanfront icon... if the previous property had the same amenities as above plus an Oceanfton icon, then that may have been the Hyatt, or this could still be the Hyatt with a 'hidden' icon)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

texaspesina Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I apologize - I didn't realize to do that. How does it differ? - lower price, this one does NOT state "ocean front" like the other (it just states "beach front")Can you determine which resort this is?Thank you for your help - ap Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 The very fist post you mentioned a hotel with Oceanfront, but that disappeared and in Post#3 you listed the samem amenities that are listed immedilately above... i'm assuming they're the same hotel.What is the price difference per nite between the two properties? (the current one and the one in #3 above?)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

texaspesina Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 It is about a $15/night difference in the two.Yes, the only difference I could tell was the first one noted "ocean front" whereas the last one did not - and only noted "beach front". What is the difference in ocean versus beach front??? (rather confusing). :) I would really rather have the Sheraton or Westin versus Hyatt, but I suppose the Hyatt would be fine (just farther down that I wanted from Black Rock and Whaler's Village).Thanks again for your help - greatly appreciated.

thereuare Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Oceanfront typically doesn't have a swimmable beach and/or may not have a beach at all (ie- on the water but rocks along the coastline)If both Beachfront and Oceanfront are both present i would assume a swimmable beachfront.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

texaspesina Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I just booked via HOTWIRE for Hyatt on Kaanapali for $149/nt (total with taxes $704).it DID NOT state "ocean front" any longer on the amenities - only BEACH FRONT. I was thinking I was going to get Sheraton but it fooled me with not including theh "ocean front" part on amenities section - SO BEWARE. I was REALLY wanting Sheraton so I am a little disappointed, but I hope it will turn out okay. Does the beach walkway go all the way to the Hyatt? Can we walk to Whaler Village from Hyatt?

jrb2310 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks for the follow-up and for using our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.Enjoy your stay.just got back from maui in august 2009. used hotwire and got the sheraton. sheraton has a wide and beautiful beach. hyatt and westin have hardly any beach at all but are waterfront. we stayed at sheraton and loved it and vistited the westin and hyatt since they are all right next to each other on a beach walkway. they are all awesome..you won't go wrong Link to comment
texaspesina Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 UPDATE...We just got back from our stay at the Hyatt (won on hotwire). LOVED our stay!!! Loved loved loved the Hyatt. I feel very fortuante now to have won that bid for such a great price!!!! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and while there is not much beach there, it is absolutely in a perfect location and the loss of actual beach did not hamper our stay in the least. We could easily walk down the beachwalk to beach when wanted - very short stroll down beautiful walkway. We still sat in our lounge chairs oceanside and watched the surf and unbelievable scenary - and even whales - pass us by! We could not have been happier with our stay on Kaanapali than at the Hyatt !!! We would absolutely stay here again! Link to comment
