What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Honua Kai consistently wins praise for its prime north Kaanapali Beach location and a true resort-meets-condo setup. Guests love the multiple pool complexes (waterslide, lazy-river style areas, hot tubs, a quieter pool), easy beach access with good snorkeling (frequent turtle sightings), and the oceanfront boardwalk for sunrise runs and sunset strolls. Most condos are spacious, clean, and well equipped with full kitchens and in‑unit laundry, plus large lanais with folding glass walls that create indoor–outdoor living and capture ocean or mountain views, sunsets, rainbows, and winter whale watching. Convenience is a standout: Duke’s restaurant is onsite, there’s a market and coffee in the Konea tower, a grocery store across the street, and a popular food‑truck park a short walk away.

Families in particular rave about staying here, from studios to large multi‑bedroom units and the Luana Garden Villas with private-feel pools and outdoor kitchens. Many owners thoughtfully stock beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, sometimes snorkel sets), and communication from hosts/property managers is often called proactive and responsive. Day‑to‑day touches like towel-vending kiosks, valet help when the garage is busy, and straightforward keycode check‑ins make it easy to settle in and relax. Multigenerational groups appreciate layouts with multiple suites, while couples find the studios roomy and quiet.

Common caveats are mostly about peak‑season crowding and variability across individually owned units. Loungers at the main pools can be scarce during holidays, poolside service can be slow, and the fitness center feels undersized. The beach right in front can be rocky/reefy with occasional shore break—great for snorkeling but swimmers and small kids may prefer nearby bays; water shoes help. A minority of reviews note maintenance hiccups (AC/dryers, elevator outages, occasional towel‑machine downtime), noise in a few locations (near the loading dock or from upstairs furniture), or units showing wear or missing small kitchen staples; most issues are resolved quickly by attentive managers. Overall, travelers find Honua Kai delivers a polished, family‑friendly resort experience with the space and convenience of a condo in an unbeatable West Maui setting.

We had an amazing time at the room! It was a great space for our family of 5. An extra bonus was the items to use at the beach. Unfortunately, we had a problem with the sink but this was resolved eventually. The host was very communicable through this. Thank you for a lovely stay! We hope to return again!

We have stayed here before. Communication is great, the rooms are great and have everything you need. I would highly recommend. Beach is beautiful, restaurant is great and so much to do within a short drive or even walk if you choose.

Exactly what my husband and I we were looking for! This is a lovely property with all the amenities and wonderful hosts. The property was clean, very well maintained, and nicely decorated. The view of the water was truly spectacular from the lanai. The Kitchen was well stocked with supplies need to cook meals (incl. spices). We appreciated the starter pack of consumable supplies for our stay as well. The condo also had beach items for us to use such as chairs (with pouches), umbrellas, coolers, and the resort supplies as many pool/beach towels as you need. The hosts were very friendly and communicative, making sure to pass along any info needed for our trip tons of recommendations to help you get the most out of your visit. The property is family friendly and the condo is quiet. We never had an issue finding parking. It is right on the beach, where we saw a turtle from shore. We also took advantage of the Ho'ola Spa on site. All resort staff were very friendly and the bell desk held our grocery items for us when we arrived before check-in time. We highly recommend this property! Mahalo Randy & Mary, The Maui Nuts, LLC for an amazing home during our visit!

The rental agency communicated often via email and text, made it easy to check in and check out. The room was fantastic, being on the ground floor was a game changer with our two kids. The fold out patio doors and huge lanai were easy to use and creating a special Hawai’i atmosphere. Every evening kids played in the grass and made friends. We were steps from the pool, beach, Dukes and bbq area. We also found that the elevator to the parking garage was close and made it quick to get to the car. The rooms were well appointed, we used the blender everyday and the beach chairs! Overall it was an excellent experience.

We had a fantastic time! The resort location was great and the resort itself felt very upscale. We loved that the room was near the elevator. Valet was free, with the addition of a tip. Super nice for families since we didn’t have to lug everyone far to our car. The king bed was comfortable and the blackout shades were great for the kids’ naps. The patio chairs are probably due for an update - they were unraveling at the top and made for sharp edges for our little ones. Thank you for our great family stay!

The condo was very clean and the location was excellent. We love Dukes restaurant on site. The ocean view didn’t seem quite as good as the pictures led on, but I think that’s probably attributed to tree growth.

Everything was great. The only thing I would suggest is having some dish clothes for cleaning. I hate sponges so we used the wash clothes from the bathroom.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The unit was very comfortable for 2 couples. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with what we needed to cook breakfast every morning. We ate dinner out so can’t comment on if kitchen was stocked for more complicated meal preparation. Lovely view from lanai and has morning shade. The owner is easy to contact and communicate with. We have rented from him before. I would stay in this unit again if available.

This unit was lovely! Beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony, and loved the three king beds for our family of six! Nice and close to the elevator, easy to check in/check out and unit was clean, and beautifully decorated! This is our seventh time to the Honua Kai and this condo was great!

This was a gorgeous villa in Maui. We loved the space provided for three couples. Each couple had very comfortable rooms with their own bathrooms. The property is lovely and well appointed. This was the perfect spot to enjoy a week in Hawaii.

My family had an incredible experience staying at this condo! The lanai offered a stunning view of the mountains and the open space below — perfect for enjoying breakfast and watching the sunrise. Everything inside was spotless, modern, and tastefully decorated. The layout was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of natural light and all the amenities we could possibly need.The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the living area was perfect for relaxing after a long day.The Honua Kai Resort couldn’t have been better — just steps away from restaurants, shops, the boardwalk, and the beach, yet still quiet and peaceful. The resort’s amenities, including the pool and fitness center, were well-maintained and easily accessible. I’d even say Honua Kai has the largest pool area of any resort on Maui’s west side!Our host, Bob, was excellent to work with — friendly, responsive, and made check-in and check-out completely hassle-free. He communicated with us several times before and during our stay to ensure we had everything we needed and that everything was going smoothly.Overall, this condo exceeded our expectations in every way. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and relaxing place to stay in Maui!

We absolutely loved this place! The room was spacious, and the view was incredible—you really can’t beat it. It felt quiet and private, and we enjoyed having breakfast outside while taking it all in.We stayed with our 4-year-old and 15-year-old, and both of them loved the pool and being less than a five-minute walk from the beach. Having the beach so close made it super easy to pop back for a midday nap if needed.The carpet was soft, plush, and spotless—a refreshing change from typical hotel carpets. The entire property was clean, well-maintained, and bug-free, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Having a washer and dryer with plenty of space was a huge bonus—I definitely could have packed less!We also appreciated the thoughtful extras like beach chairs and a boogie board. The only minor thing I’d note is that the sunshade umbrella is small and not ideal for windy days, so you might consider bringing your own or buying one while on the island.Overall, this rental made our Maui trip easy, comfortable, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Great unit in the best complex in kaanapali beach in our opinion. I was at a conference at the Sheraton and. This entire complex (particularly the pools) was WAY nicer. 30 minute walk on boardwalk to Whalers village. Dukes restaurant is right on the complex and gives poolside service, and the food truck park nearby was great as well! Enjoy!

This resort condo in Honua Kai is PHENOMENAL! It has EVERYTHING you need for a small family or group stay. Local food truck pavilion and Times Market are a 5min walk away. The Kaanapali beach walk, and ocean front with beach access is literally out and a minute walk from the lanai. There’s a washer, dryer, and other modern kitchen amenities in unit too. A cooler pack, beach chairs and umbrella are also provided. It was literally perfect, not to mention world class water features for the kids. It was great having everything right outside the unit. The grounds and property are immaculate too. The parking and elevator access to the unit is literally down the hall from the unit. The bed was amazingly comfortable too!

We had a pleasant stay in this luxury condo in a beautiful resort. We enjoyed the peaceful escape of the condo from the resort. It was a great combo for a fun and relaxing vacation.

Lovely spacious accommodations! The fairly evenly match 3 bedroom/3 bathroom set up worked perfect for our group of 3 families. Bedding was comfortable & there were useful appliances/kitchen tools (we made some breakfasts in the residence). Location was a short walk to Dukes restaurant (great food) & the beach (gorgeous- included awesome snorkeling just off shore). The residence feels secluded, but close to everywhere we wanted to be. As a group we felt like the price was worth it compared to other nearby options. We were very pleased overall.

Our Host was very friendly, accessible and with very prompt replies. The unit was very clean, well furnished and had everything we needed for home cooked meals. We thoroughly enjoyed the balcony with the mountain views and would choose it again. The on-resort restaurant “Duke’s” was one of our favourite spots to eat. There are other very fine restaurants to eat within a 10 minute drive. There is a local grocery store 10 minutes walk away that had everything we could need. Local food trucks behind the resort is also a favourite place to eat. On the beach we saw fish, turtles, squid, and dolphins! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would not hesitate to book again.

Our stay was wonderful. The condo was great and had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. The lanai was very nice it was great to have the extra space. It was not a problem having it shared no one ever walked by. The view of the ocean was beautiful. The property manager was great and very easy to work with. She was always quick to respond if anything was needed. It is a perfect place for families having the different pools was wonderful and its a easy walk to the beach. Dukes has great drinks and food. Highly recommend. Mahalo for letting us stay in your condo.

We have stayed in cono 924 before and loved it. This time we barely had hot water. Beautiful tub couldn't use it as there was not enough hot water to fill it for a bath. My husband and i had to shower 2 hours apart to a get hot shower. Just strange

Overall a great place to stay, lovely views and quick access to the ocean. I would’ve loved if they had a beach wagon to carry all your stuff down to the beach because the walk isn’t that fast when you’re carrying all those things yourself, other properties offer this and it’s tremendously helpful. It could’ve been cleaner, specially the exterior furniture. In general, I think I’d stay here again and those things I mentioned would make this property absolutely perfect.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay! The unit’s layout worked out perfectly for us as a couple and our toddler. We loved having the patio and grass area out front to enjoy our meals on and let our toddler play. Easy access to the beach and it was nice that a cooler and beach chairs were provided. We also had an amazing time at the various pools especially the kids pool and waterslide.

Clean room and excellent location to the beach. Lots of swimming options as well. Our room was good except it was located above the maintenance garage. Was loud and heard constant hammering throughout the night as well as our stay. I would recommend a different condo unit within the same resort.

The location is excellent: beachfront on North Kaʻanapali with a bit more space and quieter feel than many of Maui’s busier resorts.
