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.

Great communication, excellent pre-check in guide and support and very pleasant stay and staff. Family and I had a blast with our greater family staying in the other building.

Well-appointed condo with plenty of room at a very nice property with easy beach access, Duke's on-site, and several pools. Nearby attractions make this a good choice.

The place was close to the perfect beach. The amenities were great, and the people who worked at the resort were extremely courteous and helpful. The apartment was spacious and clean. There were a couple of things that I sent emails about and never got a response from the property managers. (For example, the lights in one bathroom did not work.) In the video it mentions that there is soap for the dishwasher and washing machine and if you run out you will need to get it yourself. No problem there, except there was basically four dishwasher soap pouches (enough for four days and we were there for six days). So this meant that we had to go buy some. There was barely any washing machine detergent, so again for a six night stay, we had to purchase soap. I do not know, maybe it is just me, but for a beautiful place that I paid over 12,000 for six days, it is kind of tacky to not have at least enough soap for a week. Other than that, we loved our stay and would totally stay in the same resort again. Thank you!

This home is amazing. Everything you need for a group of 6. The owner is amazing, very responsive, flexible, and provided tons of information to make our week-long stay nothing less than spectacular. The resort is pristine. The owner has provided all your beach necessities in the garage. The aesthetics of the home are modern and so beautiful. We plan to return and book this home again. You won't go wrong with this property, and Dennis, the owner, is the best!

We had a great time staying in this unit in July 2025. The square footage is impressive and the view from the giant (shared) balcony is unbelievable!The only hiccup we encountered was related to the refrigerator. We had groceries delivered and put in the fridge prior to our arrival. The issue was that it seemed like it was perhaps turned off, prior to the grocery delivery and needed a long time to cool down. We lost some freezer items during that time and worried about the items in the fridge. Also, the ice maker didn’t work. We called KBM and people came to look at it but there was no resolution during our stay. They offered to have ice delivered periodically and the tech said he made those arrangements but it never actually happened. We could of course get our own ice from the basement parking structure but it was not ideal, considering there was an ice maker in the fridge.Overall, we would happily return to this unit again.

2nd time to Maui, first time staying at Konea Kai. This resort is 10x better than the previous one we stayed at. The swimming pool amenities are top notch and the kids loved the water slide. It was super convenient to have Dukes restaurant right outside your back door. Nice beach access and very swimmable. We saw Honu and were able to watch the sunsets. The room was perfect, had everything we needed and it was super clean. It was nice having the elevator just a few steps away and being far from the trash room. Extra bonus, there is a well equipped gym, a little store, and a spa all inside the resort. We will be back! We miss it already

We had a fantastic stay! The unit was exactly as described. Spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. The view from the lanai was absolutely stunning and made every morning coffee and evening sunset feel like a dream.The layout was perfect for our family of four. The two large bedrooms with comfortable beds gave everyone plenty of space and privacy, and the full kitchen and in-unit laundry made a big difference for a longer stay. The beach chairs, cooler, and other beach gear were a thoughtful and appreciated bonus!We loved the Honua Kai Resort. The pools, the the beach, and the convenience of Duke’s. It’s also a great home base for exploring all of Maui.The hosts were communicative, professional, and made check-in and checkout smooth and easy.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable, home away from home in Maui.

We went with 15 other people to celebrate my husband's birthday and had an amazing time! Al and Suzanne were very prompt answering any of my questions. Their condo was clean, beautiful and had an amazing view of the ocean from the patio. They really thought of all of the extras to make our stay comfortable. There were 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, three boogie boards, some pool noodles, beach toys, a soft cooler, and a wagon to transport groceries from the car to the room. We honestly could not have asked for anything better! Our flight arrived at 10:00 a.m. and we had asked if it was possible to get an early check-in. We got a welcome text message the day of arrival letting us know that we would be able to access the condo at 12:00 which was perfect timing for our arrival to the resort. We literally dropped our luggage and were in vacation mode immediately!We truly look forward to returning to this piece of paradise and will stay here again!

This is a 5 star property. The room was nice and spacious. It was decorated with precision. We had chocolates waiting for us and plenty of amenities for the beach. The location is perfect with a famous restaurant on the premises called Dukes. I loved it so that i want to invest in property at this location. I like its design and layout. I will definitely be back. Thanks Vrbo.

We have stayed at Honua Kai many times and we love the location and amenities. The property and pools are beautiful. There is really good snorkeling right in front of the hotel, and the sandy beach is fantastic. We love the three bedroom unit. It accommodates a large family very comfortably. The beds are very comfortable. The fold out couch is tolerable, but not comfortable. My biggest disappointment was the outdoor furniture on the lanai. It is torn and very dirty - unacceptable for what this unit charges.
Summer C.
July 2025

We rented two condos side-by-side. Perfect for our family of ten. The lanai on each condo was fabulous and on one unit the lanai was huge and accommodated our family of 10 for meals. The pool complex is amazing and spacious. Snorkeling just off the beach was wonderful - lots of fish and other sea life (anemones, urchins, turtles). having a restaurant onsite was a plus. Lots of activities nearby. Highly recommended for family vacation.

Beautiful villa with excellent amenitiesThe villa was stunning and well-equipped, offering access to all the amenities of the main hotel, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect—convenient and central to everything we needed. Our host was extremely responsive and helpful, promptly addressing all of our questions and concerns. We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again.

This was the second time we’ve stayed at the Honui Kai and this Condo is everything you could want in a 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom unit. Also, the 2 queen beds in the 3rd bedroom is definitely an added bonus, and the view is simple amazing! The unit was very clean and the property manager did a great job with any needs we had. We would easily stay in this unit again.

We had a really lovely stay in this Honua Kai condo. We thoroughly enjoyed the space the two rooms allowed for our family and the lanai is huge with an amazing view of the sunset. We wish we could have used the screens for the lanai to allow more fresh Hawaiian air in during the evenings, but other than that it was great! The resort pools are numerous, towels are easy to get and the snorkeling at the beach just in front of the resort is fantastic.

Joe’s place is fantastic and as pictured. Honua Kai is the perfect blend of resort feel with the convenience of more space and a full kitchen that was well stocked for a reasonable price. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the pools, had lunches and drinks from Duke’s while poolside under cabanas. There is a great little stand across from Duke’s with equipment rentals if needed though Joe had a couple snorkel masks, sand toys, chairs and boogie boards. We would absolutely come back and stay again!
