We had a lovely time at Papakea. So relaxing and the view is incredible! Property was so clean. Bathroom could use a little updating, but it did the job! We really enjoyed ourselves!

The unit was fine. It wasn't as good as other units I rented in this complex. The biggest problem was the property manager. The A/C wasn't working when we checked in. It was set at 72 but it was just hot air blowing from the outside. I called the management company 2 days into the trip. They got a/c working but it couldn't be adjusted. Four days later, I received a call from a repair tech telling me he'll fix it the day that we left. Don't expect much from chasing rainbow. Not even an apology !!

Location and quality of the property was good overall, with patio access and beautiful view of the ocean. Only issue was that we found towels in the tub which had not been washed and put away prior to our arrival. This called into question whether anything had been washed at all, so we had to wash our pillowcases and sheets before we could sleep in them. But at least it was in-unit and we could wash our clothes before we left, so that kind of made up for it. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay at Papakea, it was the perfect spot for our family. The condo had everything we needed and was exactly as described. Great location! The host was great at communicating and provided great suggestions for restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend!

This was our first visit to Maui and we are so happy we went with this condo. This property is in a great location; within walking distance of many food options including a food truck lot, restaurants, grocery store, and ABC store. The property is family friendly with a pool, hot tub, yard shuffle board, and short walkway to beach access.The property felt very safe and secure. Having a washer and dryer to do a few loads of laundry during our trip was so convenient. Property also has bbqs.

Our stay here was a wonderful time together. The location, amenities and items provided in the home worked great for our family of 8, including a 16 month old. Communication with Morgan and Sarah was exceptional.Walking distance to different places for dinner or lunch also. We said we would definitely look to come back to this exact condo again.

The Papakea resort grounds and staff were fantastic. Beautiful setting away from the craziness of the larger more touristy resorts. The unit itself was okay. We had plenty of room for our family and everything was clean. Minor updates in the bathrooms, and maintenance to the sliding doors and shutter style windows would improve the overall experience. The AC in the guest room did not work the entire week we were there, and given the number of fans stuffed into the various closets, it probably hasn’t worked for quite some time. Communication with property management was not great. Most of my emails to them went unanswered. It took two days of back and forth communications about the ac to finally send someone over to look it, who ultimately could not fix it but offered to bring us more fans. We would definitely consider staying at Papakea resorts again, but not in a unit under this management company.

Great location. Beach 50 yards away and barbeques located at the pools. There is a great view of the ocean on the balcony. This is the best place we stayed in Maui.

Loved this place! Everything exactly as shown in the pictures. Great location with beautiful views and easy access to everything. The grounds are kept immaculately, pool was never crowded, put-put course was great, and ABC store through side gate was super convenient. The unit has the most comfortable King size bed and kitchen has everything you need. They give you a starter pack of garbage bags, dishwasher soap, laundry pods w dryer sheets, coffee filters, etc. I brought extra but didn’t need to because what they provided was enough for us for 10-days. They have a closet with books and games, along with coolers and beach chairs. Great newly remodeled bathroom with strong water pressure and beautiful glass turtle sink. Can’t wait to return and I would rent this unit again.

The room was nice but could use a little TLC! Screen doorwas almost impossible to close - someone will break it trying so hard! We fixed the toilet and the ceiling fan in living room did not work at all. Still was comfortable though. The other thing was the construction right across from us was incredibly loud! Takes away from a relaxing day at the pool! Still giving it a "good"!

We had a wonderful vacation and loved the location of Papakea. There's a great surf shop for rentals, a grocery store, and a coffee and pastry cafe, all within a 5-minute walk. The beach is just to the left, we walked it nightly and stopped off at different resorts to eat. The place has a beautiful view of the ocean and space for the family. This place is definitely a top pick for a unit if you want to have a direct view of the ocean. Our family was planning on breaking our stay up between the north, south, and East areas. We stayed down south for a couple of nights, but ended up extending our time here because everyone preferred it to other locations.

What a great property located near everything and anything you need: grocery store, food trucks, coffee, a bakery, and a bunch of really good restaurants. The property was clean, organized, and stocked well with everything from towels for the bathrooms to kitchen and grill accessories. The owners responded quickly to any questions we had too. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay!

Our stay in Maui was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by breathtaking views, warm hospitality, and that special aloha spirit that makes this island so magical.The accommodations at Papakea were perfect—comfortable, clean, and beautifully located. We woke up to the sound of waves and ended each day with the most incredible sunsets. Every detail, from the friendly service to the thoughtful amenities, made our trip feel effortless and luxurious.We explored stunning beaches, went snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and even caught a glimpse of sea turtles! The food was another highlight—fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and delicious local dishes that left us wanting more.Whether we were relaxing under the palms or adventuring through the lush landscapes, every moment in Maui was filled with joy and wonder. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again.

Beautiful property, our family enjoyed the tennis courts and pool on sight. Location was excellent, close proximity to food, shopping and beaches. Unable to access ocean directly from property as it has a sea wall and rocky shoreline but many beautiful beaches to swim close by. Great for our adult children, group of 7 able to spread out in own beds after long days. As others have said, tight space for dining as a group but not a huge deal for us.

We had a wonderful time in Maui! Papakea is a beautiful resort and is close to many great beaches and a convenience store. The unit was very nice and the extras (beach chairs, umbrella, cooler) made it easy to enjoy the beach comfortably.

It was my second time stay at this beautiful ocean front condo and absolutely loved it! I was there in 2023 with my sister and niece before the Lahiana fire. Even though the landscape has changed, it is still beautiful and the people are so kind. It was my husband's first visit and he said it was so relaxing and peaceful. We look forward to our next visit and hope to see more progress in the rebuild. Maui strong!

The views were breathtaking and we loved to location. The reasons why this place does not get a 5 star starts with the check in process. Before our stay, I received an email from our host. He told me check in was at 3pm. Upon arrival to the resorts, frobt desk told us that check in was at 4pm. Ok, fine we'll just wait another hour, no big deal. At 4pm we headed to our room, only to find that the place has not been cleaned properly. One of the bedrooms bed was covered with wet towels, the dryer was full with beach towels, the kitchen had grease stains and the bathroom's baseboards were very dusty. The other issues that we had was the duplex stairs. They are super steep amd some of the boards were wiggly. I guess if it was just adults I wouldn't care, but with kids around we had to be extra careful. topproperly.

So the property itself is OK, nothing special for that area but it’s not bad. What IS bad is when you are told one price and then when you show up you find out there’s another price.

This is our third stay at Papakea and our second stay at a three bedroom three bath unit. We were in building H before and this unit was lovely. We preferred the layout of this one with the fridge on the outside of the U-Shape kitchen, is alleviated congestion and provided more space. Came with lots of gear for the beach for a party of 8. Huge kudos on very comfortable beds all around! We all slept like babies. Communication with the manager was great and the staff on site are wonderful. Papakea is a wonderful complex with amazing amenities and lots of cats!!!! Do not hesitate booking this unit for a large group!

Had a wonderful stay with our family of 8! The condo had ample space for everyone, the condo was in a perfect location and the views from the Lanai were incredible! The resort grounds were impeccable and location was perfect and close to restaurants, beaches and boardwalks. Would definitely stay again!

The condo was clean. We could tell parts were updated where other areas could use a little care. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was updated and functional. The kitchen lacked plastic glassware for the pool area and utensils for bbqing. The living room was sparse. No coffee table or end tables and the rug seemed worn. There was a continuous growling noise coming from the bedroom/bathroom every 6 minutes our entire stay. The location was very pleasant with beautiful views of the ocean and pool area. There was construction that started at 8:00 am and was loud and distracting until after 4:00. We have been to 10 different condos at the Papakea over 20 years and this one was not what we have had in the past. Though clean it lacked the welcoming ambiance we have experienced in other condos. The owner was quick to have a member of the staff come over to help with the TV and did have an air conditioning repair person check the air conditioner. Over all our stay was pleasant but not as memorable as previous years.

This place is beyond amazing. The location is GREAT, the condo itself is GREAT. I just cannot say enough good about this place. The condo is totally remodeled. It has a great bedroom, a newly tiled bathroom and the kitchen area with new granite countertops is open to a living area with a new sofa and loveseat set and which has a very large sliding glass doors that open to the lanai which has a lovely table and chair set to sit on and drink your morning coffee. I would recommend this unit in a heart beat. The owner was amazing to deal with. Between having someone so great to deal with and then going to the unit and seeing how nice it is and what an amazing location it is in, I would recommend this place to anyone that asks. I am already planning our trip for next year and will definitely ask about this condo. My husband is a wheelchair user and being on the first floor was the best! This is not an ADA approved space, but other than the bathroom not really being accessible, this unit was perfect for him!!

Great property supplied everything they advertised. Beautiful view, convenient location. Only downside is the morning noise on and off property. Coming from eastern standard time zone, the 7 am garbage and construction noise is a bit early, but just helps get our day started earlier.

What an amazing trip to Maui! Our home base was our condo in the Papakea condo complex. We had a lower level condo w/ ocean views. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with anything you might need, including curling irons. LOL! The kitchen was also fully stocked with all the appliances for cooking/grilling. Never thought I would care to have a washer/dryer for clothes, but what a great convenience it ended up being. Wifi was strong and easy to access. The pool was a few steps from our lanai. Same with the beach. The location of this condo was an easy walk to an ABC store, food trucks, grocery stores, and coffee in the morning. We will be coming back and requesting this exact condo.

We’ve stayed at Papakea several times and this is a great place, it has it all. Great view, we saw a whale, turtle and a seal. It is very well equipped - from to kitchen to the closet packed full of activity stuff. Cooler, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkeling gear. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need, and all very nice.

This unit has a window unit in the living room with a timer. The primary bedroom does not have AC and is all windows with just a sheer curtain so the sun beats into it all day and we could never, ever cool it down. The AC filter light was on so maybe that would have helped, I’m not sure. Neither of the floor flans provided worked very well and were super old. We were just so hot. It would do wonders just to put black out curtains in the primary bedroom to help cool it during the day so it wasn’t such a struggle while sleeping at night. Also, the dishwasher smelled like rotten milk. We could barely open it during our stay because it made the entire apartment stink. It was also clearly very old. The location, unit, and everything else provided was great and I hate not to give someone five stars but it does need some updates.
