Great location!

We really had a great time and loved the condo. The view was amazing. It was so nice to have our coffee ocean front every morning. My husband said the snorkeling right out back was so good, he don’t need to book a snorkeling tour! The property is beautiful and well maintained. There are many things to do and places to go, all within walking distance. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub too.

Highly recommend!

We fell in love with the location. Right in the sea wall and spent most of our afternoons laying out. We were able to spot turtles and whales from the patio (even walked out and snorkeled with the turtles right there with host provided snorkel gear!). It’s not a crowded facility, mostly retirees and a few families. We made great use of the kitchen as well as the resort provided grills. Would definitely consider rebooking if/when back on Maui.

Location, location

This condo is located on the ocean front, convenient to both swimming pool areas, and on the ground floor so you can walk directly out to the seawall. Condo was well equipped and vacation comfortable. We had to reset the Wi-fi router a few times and we had trouble with the TV, but we didn’t make any attempt to seek help with the television, so it is not a negative reflection on the condo. The rebuild in nearby Lahaina is both heartbreaking and inspiring. West Maui is vibrant and there are plenty of dining, shopping, and opportunities for guided excursions in the area. We highly recommend this condo and will stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

Papakea is an amazing property, is our third time staying there and have never left disappointed. Our washing machine did not work in our unit and repair men couldn’t get to it while we were there, but a little hand washing and it didn’t really affect anything. The unit was great, the amenities were on point. We absolutely love Papakea and will definitely return again.

Comfortable & Great Views

Check in was easy and staff was friendly. Being on the ground floor facing the ocean was perfect! We stayed during April so we had plenty of whale watching from the patio which was so nice especially while my son took a nap. There is both a coffee maker and a keurig so that made it simple. The kitchen amenities were great for cooking in the unit but there are also grills on site available. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Heaven On Earth!

We Love the Papakea Resort! This was our second stay and this condo did NOT disappoint! Located on the ground floor looking out to the ocean was so beautiful and front row seats for the sunsets! We saw whales and sea turtles; you can snorkel just out front as well. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The condo was clean and Bev the host provides everything you need right down to putters for the 12 hole putting green. This is a must if you want complete relaxation!! 5 stars!!

Sunsets Only Good Thing

Well, I waited a couple of months to leave this review so that I could cool off. Check-in process was a breeze, the condo was availble when we got in town, our friends' condo was not. First impression was gorgeous view and location on property. Not too far from nearest parking, but having ocean front made up for that. Condo was not clean, at first overlooked it, but then realized that the sheets were soiled and dirt on the floor. My husband dropped a bottle of water in the bathroom and when cleaning it up realized just how dirty the place was. Took pictures and sent to property owners who said they would send housekeeping back to clean the place. We made sure to be gone all day so as not to interrupt them from cleaning and when we got back it was clear that no one showed up. Dirt still on kitchen floor, nothing was out of place. Their housekeeper told them they did an extra clean, but they clearly were lied to. I took more pictures and sent them and then communication stopped. The bed was HORRIBLE, asked if they could provide a mattress topper, but they refused and said it was a "new-ish" mattress. Had to purchase a mattress topper to get any sleep. Would not stay here again due to the communication stopping and the owners not believing me that the housekeeping did not come by. They said they have used the same housekeeper for 15 years and have had no issues, but looking back through reviews that is not true, there are others that have complained about the housekeeping.

Fantastic stay!

The condo is lovely and the location and view spectacular! The mornings and evenings were my favourite. I loved listening to the ocean right outside my window and I would spend hours on my lanai looking at the ocean view and the stars at night. There were a few issues in the suite with plumbing and the patio door being hard to open and close. But once the owners were informed, the issues were resolved as soon as possible. Their repairman was the best! We was polite and went above and beyond to make sure everything worked perfectly! I would definitely stay there again. 😊

About the host

Hosted by Beverly Herrington

I live in Sydney, Australia and have since 2002. It's very beautiful here just like Maui. The lure of Maui came when I was a young boy where we travelled to West Maui every year for two weeks for approximately 10 years of my life growing up. I loved the sun, water, and the natural beauty of the island. It was always a dream of mine to own a place in Maui with such fond memories. In 2016 I was fortunate enough to be in a position to buy my oceanfront condo F109 at the Papakea Resort. I chose this location because it's a ground floor unit with excellent views. You can walk out onto the manicured lawn or walk a short distance to the pool, jacuzzi, and BBQ's without having to use the elevator or hike down stairs. Currently, I work for a large software company in Sydney so it is a very nice 'central' meeting point in Maui when the family wants to get together without everyone having to fly 13 hours.

I hope you enjoy the peace and beauty of Maui as much as I do. It's my own little paradise.

Why they chose this property

This ground floor, oceanfront condo offers absolutely spectacular views of the ocean which is 50 feet from your lanai. You can watch whales while enjoying the views from your living room. You have the best of both worlds--the convenience of staying on the ground floor and having the best possible ocean views.

What makes this property unique

Papakea Resort offers 2 very large swimming pools and hot tubs as well as 12 gas barbecues. Papakea Resort offers 2 very large swimming pools and hot tubs as well as 12 gas barbecues. There are 2 putting greens and lighted tennis courts that are provided. Tennis racquets and putters can be checked out at the front desk. There is complimentary WiFi in the condo and onsite parking. The koi ponds are beautiful as well as the lush tropical foliage. There is complimentary WiFi in the condo. The koi ponds are beautiful as well as the lush tropical foliage.
