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.

Unit was fantastic, great location, clean, room had everything you need. The extra room was great for my teenager to have his own space. Only issue we had was a broken dryer door, but we made it work. I was told the replacement part has been delayed, otherwise I’d have no issues coming back again.

Loved the resort
Jack D.
September 2025

We absolutely loved this unit and resort! The unit is as nice as it is pictured. The resort is even better than pictured. We came as a family of 4 (our kids are 4 and 7 years old). The king bed was very comfortable, there was a pull out bed in the couch but we used our travel air mattresses for our kids. You can only see a peek of the ocean on the side of patio but the view is still really pretty of the grounds and views of sunset/sunrise. When we came, the closet had 2 adult snorkel masks/breathing tubes, 1 beach umbrella, 1 backpack cooler, and 2 beach chairs with storage pockets. The stacked washer and dryer have very small capacities so plan for that. The dryer isn't the greatest so we would need to dry our clothes a couple of times so plan for that too. The unit is really nice and beautiful inside, definitely feels luxurious. The resort is absolutely amazing too. It has 4-5 different pools. One pool is 3-3.5 foot deep which was great for our kids to stand on their own in and that pool was also an infinity pool. Another pool had a slide and a couple of waterfalls you can go under, our kids loved this pool. The other pool we thought would be a lazy river but it didn't have a current. The beach is hardly a walk at all, it's super close. It actually ended up being our favorite beach on the island - calm waters and the most fish we saw snorkeling and the only time we saw a sea turtle. Having Dukes restaurant at the resort was convenient (though pricey). Amazing stay for us!

Pool/ beach:Spent 7 days here with family of four with a 3 and 5 year old. The kids loved the pool especially the water slide, waterfall cave, and splash pad. The beach was nice to hang out and watch sunsets but kids did not like to enter water because waves were to aggressive. Instead we traveled 8 mins North to Nipili beach which had very calm waves Felt much safer. Condo:The 2 bedroom condo was perfect for all our needs. Everything that you need is right there such as cups, dishes, cooking utensils, dishwasher, washer and dryer. We did have to walk trash down the hallway but it wasn’t that bad. Resort offered towels with self check in vender stations which was easy to manage. Parking garage was excellent and easy to access.Notes:Highly recommend you go to Costco when arrive from airport for items such as alcohol, cooler, meats to cook on grill, basic condiments, etc. more expensive in local shops near facility.

Hesitate to hype this or it won’t be available next time. This was our second stay in 501 and once again it did not disappoint. Makes it hard to go anywhere else. Host was very responsive and helpful.

Great location. Property has beach chairs and cooler that we used daily. Pool not to busy. Grocery store and food trucks walking distance outside property gates. Room was exactly as described.

Honua Kai Konea and this rental were just as expected and a great decision! Very few if any other properties have lanai's as large as Honua Kai. The view was perfect, the rental was huge and very comfortable for a family of 5. The kitchen was well stocked to cook at home, the AC worked great in the bedrooms and we loved the bath goodies they left for us. Overall great stay and would definitely rent again.
Kristin K.
September 2025

The resort was beautiful. Loved the pools, beach, and Dukes being right there. Had an issue with the sheets upon arrival but it was fixed quickly- host was responsive the entire stay. This unit would be good for two or a family of four with little kids. We liked the big lanai. Big doors open onto it. Had no problem with it being over the entrance. Some things to note- no cereal or salad bowls, very few dishes, very few glasses. No pizza pan or pizza cutter. The frying pans were terrible. No amount of cooking spray kept food from severely sticking. The beach chairs in the closet were really nice. Spacious bathroom. Pullout bed was decent. We enjoyed our stay, but with a 10 and 16 year old I think we'd opt for more space next time.

We loved the condo, the location, the view was beautiful!! High end appliances, comfortable furniture, beds were very comfortable. The owner and manager’s communication was excellent. Only complaints were: Master room shower head didn’t work. The back bedroom shower head sprayed the ceiling and the toilet ran.

Love the Honua Kai. Excellent property and Maui Resort Rentals is incredibly efficient. Only a few things I would change if I could; sinks would benefit from garbage disposals, it would be nice to provide an umbrella to go with the beach chairs, and the fitted sheets are stretched out and no longer stay put on the bed, new tighter sheets would be amazing. We will definitely be back! We love Honua Kai.

September 2025

it’s a beautiful resort and our rooms were absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed hanging out on the lanai. Access to the beach was just a short walk. The kitchen was well stocked with things you might need to make it simple meal. The only thing is that we rented 636 and 634 under the impression that there was a connection through the lanai. That was not the case.
Ann H.
September 2025

Property was very clean and in good condition. Beautiful mountain and resort views. Resort personnel were helpful. The code we were given for the garage did not work. And we would probably book a unit with two bathrooms next time. But all in all it was an excellent stay.

Very happy with this condo and our stay. Fantastic ocean views. The ce unit had everything that we needed. It was clean and well supplied with everything. The balcony was especially nice- the wrap around type. Will gladly rent from this company again.

The pool was larger than I thought & while many of the chairs were taken early there were still pool chairs available all day. Beach was beautiful & a very short walk from the boardwalk. The room was spacious & well equipped. Poke tacos at Dukes were the bomb!

Bruno’s home is everything you could dream of and more for a stay on Maui. Yes, the property itself is incredible with amenities for everybody but sometimes the simple things are what stay with you most. We were so thankful to watch the sunrise from the balcony, put our feet up mid-afternoon and lay our heads each night in a place that truly felt like home away from home. Not only that but Bruno himself is an exceptional host who goes out of his way to make sure that your stay is nothing short of perfect. We had zero issues during our time and appreciated how easy check-in and check-out procedures were, allowing us to haul in and out in quick order. We very much plan to be back and have already recommended to several friends. Thank you Bruno for making our vacation so special and for sharing your home with us!

This 2 bedroom/2 bathroom property is on the top floor of the Konea tower and is located closest to the ocean with a direct view of the pools and spectacular sunsets. The property is well maintained and an excellent choice to stay at for a discerning traveler. Joe was excellent to work with and the pride of ownership is evident.
Scott B.

We spent a week at the condo and thoroughly enjoyed the resort, amenities and unit. I hope to return next year. It's an amazing place to take kids. The food trucks were wonderful and Duke's was great too. There's a grocery store across the street and small market on site. The gym was nice and we just really relaxed and enjoyed the view and family time. Highly recommend if you have kids or not!

We had a really nice stay here. The location is fantastic, and the beach right out front is beautiful—especially for snorkeling. The condo looks just like the photos, and the grounds are well-maintained and truly lovely. The concierge, Julie, was extremely helpful and welcoming, and she helped us book some great outings. Overall, a great spot for a Maui trip, and I’d definitely stay here again.

The hardest part was not being able to check in until 4pm after a long flight and the time difference. But it was a beautiful place and we all enjoyed our stay!
