Great location. Very clean and quiet. We had a wonderful time and the place was well appointed with all the necessities. The host communicated with us about all the check in/out details. We would love to stay here again.

We love Honua Kai! This particular condo is wonderful and absolutely packed with amenities. The property owner has thought of everything and we had a fabulously comfortable stay!

We loved every thing about our stay except the noise at night. From all 3 bedrooms you can hear when chairs are moved from the unit above. The chairs really need better pads or rugs.

Great place to spend 5 days enjoying Maui. The location was super convenient and had a great beach. It is a large property, but never felt crowded. One downside, the municipal sewage treatment facility is across the street and sometimes gives off a nasty odor early in the mornings.

The property was outstanding! Amenities were perfect for our family of four. Bob and Linda made everything simple and easy, just what we need when traveling with kids. We hope we’ll be able to come back again.

3 couples easily shared this large space. With the awesome large gourmet kitchen and huge lanai we decided to stay in for dinners- our own party with a beautiful view. Host was available and responded immediately when contacted. The condo was equipped with Tommy Bahama lawn chairs, noodles and a large cooler on wheels. Everything was perfect.

This beautiful home was absolutely perfect for our 10 day stay with our multigenerational family. The layout was perfect. Grandparents in one master bedroom, parents in the other, with their small children next to them. Everything was clean and modern and seemed almost brand new. We particularly loved the enormous lanai and the huge sliding doors which opened up bringing the outside in. We had a minor problem with a door lock on a Sunday evening and the maintenance man answered the phone and was over to fix the problem within 15 minutes. The Honua Kai resort is amazing for families. The large pools are just minutes away as well as the beautiful beaches. We have been going to Maui for 40 years but this is the first time at the Honua Kai resort with the Luana Garden Villas. We will definitely be back.

What an incredible trip! Ken took good care of us, communicated clearly about everything, and even was able to give us an early check-in which made our first day excellent! The pools on property are awesome! Waterfalls, water slides, tons or little nooks and crannies to explore. The beach out front was fun for family snorkeling with my 4 yr old. The place was just the right size for a family of 3. We ate dinner every night out on the lanai and slept comfortably in our beds. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to eat meals in and save a bit of money and the Dukes on property was super convenient for apps during the day and we loved having the fins, sand toys, and beach chairs there to borrow. Thanks for everything Ken!

We had a nice stay at the resort. The check in process was easy, the condo is spacious enough for 3 couples, and the grounds were very nice. The gym was well equipped, but a little crowded in the morning hours. Nice place, would stay again.

This was our 6th trip to Honua Kai, and this was our favorite location. Steps to the pool. Backyard was perfect for the kids. Views of the ocean from the lanai. Can’t wait to go back.

This Condo complex is amazing, lots of pool space with adequate seating a wonderful beach access just steps away and a first class restaurant on site. There are many restaurants and a grocery store a 15 minute walk or a short drive away. The complex has plenty of parking and a great underground parking lot very convenient to the unit when you figure out where to park. The beach is safe and is adequate for snorkeling, better snorkeling is a short drive from the complex. The unit is well provisioned for cooking, a couple cookie sheets would be a nice addition. The beds were very comfortable, the furniture did leave a bit to be desired in comfort. We did struggle a bit with managing a comfortable temperature between the 2 bedrooms and the rest of the condo, there seems to be multi zoning controls but there wasn’t any documentation explaining how to control the comfort level, this wasn’t a big deal just a suggestion to make it better. The last comment has to do with my 4 star rating rather than 5, every day at 6 AM there was a loud noise outside the unit sounded like the trash dumpster pickup. After a couple days we realized the unit is just above the delivery dock and the complex has deliveries coming in early in the morning. We did notify the rental agency of this issue and they contacted the complex and that did seem to help as we didn’t notice the noise as early. This balcony location and view and the comfort of the furniture was the only negative of the condo.

This condo was wonderful in every way possible. We brought our 5 year old with us and the three of us shared the king sized bed (plenty of room). The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfast and lunch - and having a cooler to use was great for packing sandwiches for the pool. Maui is far for us but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We flew from western New York for a family reunion. Besides a slight mix up with not being able to get towels, that our contact and property manager fixed immediately, everything was amazing! Great views of the sunrise over the ridge from the balcony, and you can even see the ocean! Beds were comfy and the place even had kids plates for us to use for our kudos! Great stay. Highly recommend.

Property was clean. It was a crowed property with lots of children as it was Presidents Day weekend. There is smaller “quiet” pool which was good to have, tool small a property of this size with more demand than chairs. Saw a few bugs in the unit as mentioned in other reviews, not great. The unit was clean so that wasn’t an issue. A/C was outdated and unnecessarily complicated. Overall the unit was nice, view pretty good, nice to have washer/ dryer. Restaurant, Dukes, was good, overall restaurant offerings very limited (one) on whole property. Generally nice property, nice unit.

We loved our stay at this unit. The property manager was easy to correspond with and accommodated an early check-in for us.The portal they use to organize check-in and property details was very helpful. The shuttle was also a huge perk! The unit itself was wonderful - spacious, clean and very well stocked. We really enjoyed spending time on the balcony reading and eating. We'd happily stay here again!

The most wonderful and relaxing stay in beautiful Maui in the most perfect condo. We found everything to be exactly as advertised and in a perfect location on the ground floor just steps to the pools and beach. The kitchen was fully equipped and the underground parking was hugely convenient. The unit had everything we needed complete with beach chairs and boogie boards. We will absolutely be back! Thank you!

My family had a wonderful stay at the property - it was a perfect set up for us and a great location within the resort. Pool and beach were fun places to hang out, and there was easy access along the beach path to explore the other resorts along the beach.

It was the perfect place for a great family trip with grandparents, parents and our little kids. The rooms are all so spacious with king sized beds and everyone had their own bathrooms. We really appreciated how well stocked it was, especially the kitchen. The owners were very accommodating for our needs. The condo was exactly as advertised and the view was even better. We would definitely stay again!

Overall, nice property. The balcony is a shared area. The partial ocean view is only a view if you walk over to the balcony wall and look over it. This “balcony” is a shared walkway, with at least 7 or 8 other condos. The main picture is very misleading, as the table is actually 10’ away from the wall, closer to the condo doors. So really no view from condo unless you are standing. This was our first trip to Hawaii. We spent our first morning dealing with the property mgr, who was very nice, but admitted that the pictures are misleading. They found us another property, but we had to pay out an addl 1400. They told us they would try to have us in the new condo the next morning by 12. So we spent the next morning repacking everything so we would be ready to go, as we had reservations for a luau that evening at 5. They finally got us into the condo by 330. Needless to say we wasted our first morning and 2nd day there, plus an additional 1400 (that I feel should have just been comped, since we looked at numerous places before deciding on this one), trying to get something taken care of, that should never have been an issue in the first place. Nice place if you don’t care about a view.

We loved the unit, it was very clean and conveniently located. This is our 5th time staying at Honua Kai. We drove to beach beaches (DT Fleming and Black Rock), and I took long walks on the beach pathway. I wish we could have stayed longer, but the kids school break was only a week!

We recently stayed at Honua Kai unit 310, and overall it was a great experience, though there are a few areas for improvement.Upon arrival, we found one of our rooms had two twin beds instead of a king. We called the management company and were told we needed to request a king ahead of time. This wasn’t clear before check-in, but they quickly resolved it by setting up the king bed within two hours.The unit was missing a few essentials, like zip-lock bags, napkins, Tupperware, and foil. It would be helpful if the unit management provided these items, as they’re often needed in a condo.Some tables were not cleaned when we arrived, so we had to clean them ourselves. A quick check of the cleaning checklist would help ensure this is taken care of before guests arrive.The patio furniture needs attention. The cushions were worn, and the faux wicker chairs and tables had broken areas with sharp edges, which was a concern with a one-year-old. A little maintenance here would make the outdoor space safer and more comfortable.Regarding toiletries, two mini shampoo/body wash bottles per bathroom weren’t enough for our stay. Extra bottles would be appreciated, especially for families.On the positive side, the washer and dryer worked well, the kitchen was fully equipped, the view was beautiful, and the restaurant on-site was excellent. The family-friendly pools and easy walk to the beach were a big plus.Overall, we had a fantastic stay,

Shelly’s condo at Honua Kai is amazing! It really is a home away from home. The amenities were great! The condo is exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the lanai, the large bathrooms and even did laundry. I loved waking up every morning and opening the accordion door to see and hear the ocean. It was a great way to start the day!The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook. The appliances are very nice. She has an extensive supply of beach gear! We were in the ocean every day and enjoyed using the chairs, umbrella, cooler and snorkel gear.My boys enjoyed playing the PS3 and we watched a few movies. We will be staying here again! Any time I had a question, she was very prompt at texting back. Thank you for an unforgettable time!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay here with our family of 4. Having a full kitchen, large living space, separate bedrooms and bathrooms, and washer dryer in unit was fantastic. Our boys loved sharing a room with twin bed option. Quiet at night and beautiful view on the lanai with coffee and tea in the morning. We appreciated the use of beach gear closet. Our sons took full advantage of the pool noodles. Easy communication with the gracious host. The Honua Kai pools, water slide, and countless orders of French fries at Duke's restaurant were the cherry on top.

We had a great time. The resort is well kept and it was nice to have pool service from Dukes. I wish our building’s store was open. We talked to others too who found it inconvenient to have to go to the building next door of sundries and snacks. Our condo was wonderful, great location, very clean.

The view of this place is STUNNING! I really can’t thank Jaleh enough for her great communication! We had issues with checking in late at night and she answered promptly and was able to help! Even the hotel staff acknowledged that most property owners don’t answer phones that late at night! There was a large leak upon our check in but it didn’t reoccur after we cleaned it up the first time thank goodness. Overall would definitely stay here again, the resort is great and provided the perfect space for our group of 6!
