We had a wonderful vacation in Maui and this property was perfect for our needs. The condo was very well appointed and clean. The views were amazing! In particular, we loved this unit because the large, wrap-around balcony always offered both sunny areas and shady areas. I would book this place again in a heartbeat!!

Condo was fabulous and the views were amazing! Check in was rough as condo was not ready at 4:00pm as guaranteed. But property manager compensated us. Construction going on in some of the buildings which we were not made aware of prior. Resort staff were outstanding and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

It was pretty good overall, but online listing description was inaccurate. We had to be transferred to a different unit. The balcony was blocked off and was not accessible.

This two bedroom (with a sofa bed couch in the living area) comfortably accommodated our family of eight. It was in close proximity to the beach, the walking path and Duke’s and we had views of the pool and beach to the right of the balcony. We would return again.

My wife and I recently stayed at this property at Honua Kai and we could not have been more happy with our choice. We looked at hundreds of properties and were very nervous. From the time we arrived until the time we left, it was truly exceptional. We had a few minor issues come up but the owner was in constant communication with us and had all issues addressed so quickly. Even though these were very minor, they were treated with the upmost priority. The unit itself could not have been any better. As soon as we entered the unit we knew we had made a great choice. The staff at the facility was great, informative, and made us feel welcome. The property was immaculate. The location was incredible and walking distance (we love to walk) to so many places and little "gems" like the food trucks, coffee shops, farmers market, and great beaches. What was funny is that the beach at the property ended up being one of our favorites. Snokeling was incredible as well. We ould recommend this property to anyone and can't thank our host enough!

The condo could not have been more perfect for our family. It was clean and comfortable, the staff was lovely, the check in/out process was easy. The AC wasn’t working when we arrived which we didn’t realize until later in the evening. We called and they had someone there first thing to fix it and we didn’t have any other issues through out the entire trip. The resort itself was meticulously maintained and the pools were so fun for all of my kids (which is tough to accomplish as they range in age from 1 -14). The condo was stocked with beach chairs, beach toys, and an umbrella which were all super helpful. The snorkeling directly in front of the hotel was the most incredible part. We saw countless tropical fish and sea turtles!! It was the most wonderful family vacation and we can’t wait to return.

Three generations staying in this 3 bedroom large condo that was equipped with everything we needed. It was lovely being on the ground floor with a large shaded patio with a large dining table and multiple types of patio furniture, a nice BBQ and also a grassy area the kids could play on. It was a very short walk to everything that the Honua Kai Resort has to offer and the bonus was we didn’t have to use any elevators. I would recommend this highly to families who have young kids with lots of energy!

This was our second visit to this resort and always enjoyable. This units view is spectacular but not with what I paid. The unit needs a little TLC. Communication was good with the property management and owner though and check in and out easy.

I helped my father book this condo as he was traveling with my family (myself, husband and three children) who were also staying in the same hotel. The hotel was beautiful, the staff lovely, the pools SO much fun, the check in/out process easy, but the greatest part? There is the most incredible snorkeling at the beach directly in front of the hotel. We saw countless tropical fish and sea turtles! We will definitely stay here again as soon as possible.

We loved this place. Exactly as pictured. Perfect place for a family of 5. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfasts. Had plenty of snorkel gear and chairs/umbrella to take with us on the beach. We will definitely come back and stay here again.

We had booked this property 6 months in advance and were looking forward to the stay. Slightly before leaving, there was a change due to some FEMA/Lahina fire issues, and the team communicated all issues to make sure we were taken care of. When we got to the property, it was even better than the pictures showed, and was extremely clean and organized. I went with my wife and 4 kids, and the layout and setup of the condo was perfect. Duke's restaurant was great and a 5 minute walk away, and we rented the gazebos for days at the pool that was right next to it. It is only a 10 minute drive from Honolua bay, and I would go snorkel in the morning while my kids slept in, and then we were close to everything else we wanted to do for the afternoon (Molokini snorkeling trips, Luaus, etc.). If you have a large family, or are going with 3 couples, I would highly recommend this property and it impressed my wife. If we come back to Maui anytime soon, we will definitely rent this condo from this team again.

We love this resort. Close to everything and right on the beach!

Beautiful property with view! Very clean and well stocked kitchen. Work was being done on the lanai second half of stay is reason for only 4 stars because it was unusable at that point. I would definitely stay here again though!

We had the best time at Honua Kai Resort & Spa and so happy we booked through VRBO! Our host Evan was super communicative and made our stay one to remember. We loved having the pool options with the beach just behind it. Food at Dukes, although a little pricey, was delicious and lots of nearby options to walk to. Grocery store across the street was perfect for some room essentials and the pizza spot there hit the spot one night! Would absolutely stay again!

Everything was great. Beautiful condo, property was lovely! The only hiccup was construction on site (which we were not informed about beforehand) so it was hard to sit on the balcony with the noise and dirt.

Beautiful apartment with amazing views of the ocean and mountains. Perfectly located next to a beach that has a wonderful reef that you can snorkel at and view the wonderful life that lives there. The pools and restaurant are an added bonus.

This was our first stay at this property. Would definitely return. We had 8 people in our condo and it didn’t feel crowded at all. Felt like a home for us. Well equipped for cooking and bbq. We have a lot of cooks. Everyone enjoyed the jacuzzi and pool right downstairs. All was beautiful and convenient

We’ve stayed at Honua Kai a few times and this was by far our best experience! The unit was very nice and well kept. The perfect size for our family of 5. Being on the ground floor with kids is so much easier. Communication before our arrival and during our stay was the best I’ve ever experienced with a short term rental. We hope we’ll be lucky enough to stay here again!

The property was beautiful. We were able to swim with sea turtles and snorkel directly from the beach in front of the hotel. My daughter loved the pools and the waterslide. The pool side service from Dukes was excellent.

The condo has everything you need for your stay. It has been very well kept up and for its age is in excellent condition. Joe was great to work with and was very responsive. We had an overall great experience.

Room set up and view of property is excellent. Resort is wonderful. Room was not fully prepared for our arrival...missing bedding for pull out bed. Called the property manager office and Mel picked up. She was not at all helpful and said we had to wait until the next day which was not acceptable. Within 15 minutes of talking to her someone else called me and was very helpful and had a very kind man deliver the bedding within an hour. Additionally, the room does still have cockroaches as of June 2024 as stated in a past visitors review from Dec 2023. This was not ok.

Good location close to the beaches and pools. Not a big fan of cockroaches and there were many in the unit. They did treat the unit while we were there but there were just as many as before they sprayed. Other than that a good place to stay.

We were very happy with the space and amenities offered at this property! We were a bit apprehensive about the "shared lanai," but while it may not offer the privacy other units might have, it worked well for us. If you don't like soft beds, this might not be the place for you. Probably the softest bed I've ever slept on. Loved the folding doors to open up to the lanai! Also, great privacy inside with bedrooms on opposite ends of unit with very few shared walls.

This unit was perfect for our family of 4. We've stayed at Honua Kai multiple times and this was the best unit yet. With 2 full masters plus en suites, there was plenty of room for all. The unit was well stocked and had everything we needed. The property manager (Monty) was very easy to work with and was prompt with responses/fixes. The fridge & freezer actual stopped cooling due to a failed part and Monty had a tech there and fixed within 3hrs, super impressive! Being east facing, the unit is quiet and you get a nice view of the ocean. Will look at staying here again!
Nate E.
June 2024

Great value. Good size for our family of 4. The beach chairs and cooler were great to use. It was nice being on the 7th floor and near the elevator. View is good of the mountains. The property is fun with all the pools and easy access to the beach. Improvements: Listing said the king bed could be made into 2 twins. Housekeeping said this was not possible. We made it work, but was inconvenient. The kitchen has items, but is not well stocked (only salt and pepper), pots and pans are adequate, not temporary storage ware, foil, wrap, bags. Parking lines in the garage need to be repainted.

June 2024

Wonderful property in an unbeatable location.

June 2024

Honua Kai was the perfect location for our family trip to Maui! We had 8 people ranging in ages from 18 to 72. The resort is beautiful and has so many amenities! We had the plenty of room to spread out and not feel like we were tripping over one another even with 8 adults! The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed to cook meals. Between the beach, many pools, and open green spaces there was something for everyone. Having a general store on property was very convenient when we realized we needed something. Guest services were amazingly quick to respond with any questions and needs we had. Our only complaint would be the in unit dryer. It took HOURS to dry small loads. With 8 people, we had a lot of laundry. Although the dryer was frustrating, we would absolutely stay there again! 10/10 recommend!

Our stay at the villa in Maui was nothing short of spectacular, offering breathtaking pool views and luxurious amenities that met our expectations. The location was perfect, providing easy access to pristine beaches, vibrant local markets, and access to moped rentals. The attentive and friendly staff ensured that our every need was met, making our vacation truly unforgettable.
Joe F.

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Access to resort amenities (pool, gym, beach access) while having a full kitchen to make a few meals. Also had access to community grills and were right by a local grocery store.

We had the best week here for our first trip to Maui! The grounds were beautiful, pools were great and very quick access to the beach. The beach chairs and cooler were a bonus! Our only complaint was we asked for the king to be split into twin beds for our two boys and it wasn’t done before arrival and when I sent a message when we got there they never came to do it. It didn’t ruin our week and we will definitely stay here if we come again! Thanks

Had our first officially “family vacation” here with all our kids and their significant others, and our new grandson. We had a blast! We had two units to accommodate the 9 of us and it was perfect. Having a full kitchen (2 actually) was great! Very clean and organized, comfortable beds huge bathrooms. Combined in total we had 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 4 showers and 3 bathtubs… It was the PERFECT place to host a large family gathering. The Guest Services was exceptionally responsive, helped arrange shuttles for airport transportation that came along with the Ohana package. The recreation is amazing with multiple pools, hot tubs to enjoy as well as towel dispensers, and the restaurant on property, Dukes, is amazing. Centrally located on Kaanapali Beach you can walk north or south and experience other resorts and places to dine drink and enjoy yourself. Also super convenient that you can catch the Maui Bus and walk to the Times market and pick up groceries as needed. The walk to the market is no more than 10 minutes and we did it multiple times during our stay. We will absolutely be back. I’m already looking at booking our return trip. Thank you for an amazing vacation and tons of memories.

Entire 3-generation family of 6 people loved the spacious condo, loved the easy access to the beach and location in West Maui, loved the views at all times of day. Condo was well-stocked and had all necessary appliances and utensils. Very comfortable sleeping and seating accommodations. Would certainly stay again!
