The Aston is an older building, but very well kept, clean and the front reception staff friendly and accommodating. The two pools were never really that busy, and the beach bar at the lane pool served delicious drinks and food. Pool area was always kept clean, sometimes a bit hard to find a lounger right by the pool but theres a beautiful green lawn to hang out in the shade of a palm tree and relax. Bring your yeti to sip your own beverages at the pools. The Aston's beach is fine for some ocean time although more lava rocks in the water than other beaches on the north west side, but that didn't hamper the experience. The water is still warm and you're in Maui, so there is never a bad experience. This is north Ka'anapali Beach, a solid 40 minute walk along the busy boardwalk to Black Rock and the main beach. Everyday we explored a new spot for snorkelling and wave jumping and this location is perfect as its 10-15 minute drive from at least 10 beautiful beaches. The shopping plaza across the street has a Times market with all the food and liquor essentials and the best poke around, the pizza place is delicious and sells dole whip. Went to the food trucks one night, plenty of choices and variety. Overall a fantastic stay and would stay here again.
