We didn’t get into the property n was instructed to turn around because of the deadly wildfires
We stayed in a hotel closer to the airport but farther away from the incident
Couldn’t get hold of anybody
No signals
That’s why we decided to find a safe place for us
So never got into the property
We are requesting for s refund of what we have paid for

When we finally checked into our room it was not cleaned. My daughter found toenails in the carpet in her room, there were dirty dishes in the cabinet, there was laminate coming off the cabinet, trim on the dish washer taped in place.
Day 3 lost power, went to the other side of the island to get a hot meal and the roads back were closed for 3 days. We slept in our rental car (5) adults.
Got back to our room cleaned out all the spoiled rotten food from the fridge, packed our bags and left a day early!
Thank god for friends of friends that opened their home in Kihei for our last 2 days on the island.
I am very sympathetic to the plight of the people of Maui, the communication from the authorities was nonexistent!

The condo was exactly what we had envisioned. Very comfortable for a family of 4 and included everything necessary for days at the beach. The staff at the property were extremely friendly and worked constantly to keep the entire property clean! We were stranded at this property during the early days of the terrible fire and the resort staff did everything they could to keep guests informed and as comfortable as possible.

This was our second visit, and we had another wonderful stay. The air conditioning updates made the condo more comfortable temperature wise this time around. We utilized some of the beach gear they provided (boogie board) which made snorkeling with a 5 year old much easier! We will be back again! The view from the balcony never gets old!

This unit is filthy. Tons of roaches, dust and dirt. The online listing is not accurate of the unit at all. The unit and furniture are rundown. There is accumulated dirt everywhere. Mold in the shower. The unit has not been cleaned properly in a very long time, if ever. I would rate it negative if possible. Have video of the roaches crawling all over the kitchen and closet doors. Not enough words to express the disappointment and disgust.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo unit. Note- you will pay a daily resort fee for use of facilities (17/day). You have access to tennis and pickleball courts, pool, shuffleboard, putting green, and ocean access. There is a very small beach just off property (3 minute walk), if you want a beautiful wide beach expanse right outside the unit, this isn't the right place. However, there are ample lounges to relax on overlooking the ocean. The view from small balcony was lovely, The kitchen had everything we needed. The in unit laundry worked well. A cooler, beach chairs and beach towels were provided in unit. You can walk to grocery store, food trucks, convenience store, small restaurants, cinnamon roll place and coffee shops easily. This was a good option for our family of 5 (3 teens) with the spaces- MBR with bath, separate bedroom with queen bed, and loft with 2 twin beds. It's approximately an hour from the airport and we did feel like we did a lot of driving to the sites we planned on visiting. Very reasonable check out requirements- run the dishwasher, take out trash, towels gathered together. Would highly recommend and would stay again!

If you’re looking for an oceanfront condo that is modern, clean, and in a great location, then this is your place! The condo itself is spacious and well-equipped with all of your needs. It was sparkling clean when we arrived and it made us feel completely right at home. My family and I appreciated the air conditioner during the warm days/nights and also the washer/dryer which helped us pack light. Sunrises and sunsets from your private balcony or from the property's lawn are simply amazing.
Papakea Resort's grounds are beautiful and well maintained. There's also many activities to choose from -- swimming in one of the two lovely pools, shuffleboard, tennis/pickle ball, and even putting greens.
My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back soon....for longer next time!

We have stayed at the Papakea for the past 20 years and always in the L building. The condo has everything you would need plus more. It is nicely furnished and very accommodating.
The AC is a big plus but if you want to enjoy the sounds of the ocean from the condo, Just prop open the front door and open the patio slider and a great breeze will keep you cool.
Maui is our favorite island and I am sure it will be yours too. We will definitely stay here again.

We were there the week of the fires.
The property had the most amazin views and the grounds were kept meticulously. The condo was great and had everything we needed. The back bedrooms got a little stuffy, but they had fans you could push the a/c air from the main living area to the back. You could also open the front door and the lanai door and the winds just pushed through cooling everything.
We did lose power when we were there. The facility had light sticks on the stairs for you to get around and a few generators to charge your phones. We cooked on the bbqs that are propane.
We made due with a horrible situation and they couldnt have been more helpful since we couldnt go anywhere for a few days. Thankfully by the time our stay was ending we got out and were able to leave. Knowing the devistation of 6 miles away will never be the same is so sad and knowing they will never get to "go home" is even sadder. Praying for the people of Lahaina and Maui!

Arrival and check-in was a breeze. Property is beautiful, and the condo itself is great, just as described! Unfortunately, we lost power and all communications due to the wildfires in Lahaina and surrounding area. The property staff did the best they could under the circumstances, and we are forever grateful for them. Thank you to the Host for communicating with us during this difficult stay, and offering his services to make us as comfortable as possible. We were fortunate to get out of the area after just a few days there, but our hearts and prayers are with Maui and it's people. We don't know if/when we will be able to come back to Maui, but if/when we do, I will definitely consider staying here again, hoping for a better overall experience. Mahalo!!

We truly appreciated all that Sue and her people did to make our visit a comfortable and enjoyable one. We felt welcomed from the very start by all the valuable information that was provided prior to our arrival. And the room was stocked with everything that we could possibly require that would make us feel at home and cared for. Otherwise, the area was wonderful with plenty of things to do right outside our door. We loved every minute!

This unit was perfect for our family stay. We were on vacation with our adult children and their partners. The three bed, three bath layout gave each couple plenty of personal space while allowing us to enjoy time together as well. The view from our balcony was incredible. Many people from our travel group came to our unit specifically to see it.
Janet was easy to work with. She was flexible when we needed to make a change to our departure date and she clearly communicated everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
The end of our stay coincided with the devastating fire in Lahaina. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Maui.

We came across the property while looking to extend our stay in Maui.
It is exactly as described and shown in the photos.
The unit is well equipped with everthing you need to be comfortable and safe.
We were only here for 4 days, but quickly found our way around the property. The location of the resort is convenient and easily accessible for everything on the island.
Communication with Bob was great, and he seems genuinely concerned that our stay was enjoyable.
We highly recommend this unit to anyone interested in a comfortable and relaxing stay.

We had everything we needed for the beach and my granddaughter went snorkeling right in front of our apartment.
Sondra quickly responded to any questions I had, while there.
I am grateful to have visited Lahaina in the days before the devastating tragedy there, and I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a special spot.

L401 was fantastic! Beautiful view, watched sea turtles all morning.
Great unit with everything you need to cook as desired, very short walk to uncrowded beach with snorkeling just off shore.
Might not be the newest facility but top notch accommodations. Food truck park, grocery store and restaurants within walking distance.
Better jump on this unit, second bedroom is in the loft leaving plenty of privacy on first floor
Just can't say enough about our stay

We had an amazing trip to Maui. It was our first time ever visiting Hawaii and what a great trip we had. Staying here was one of the best decisions we made. We seriously went back-and-forth between this unit and staying at one of the large resorts close by. After visiting one of the resorts, it was clear, we made the right decision. Everything is so clean, beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. The grounds are meticulously cared for. The unit was beautiful and well-appointed. The beds were comfy. The view was fabulous. Every meal we ate in the unit, we ate on the porch overlooking the ocean. It just doesn’t get any better than that. The memories we made were priceless, and lots of those memories were made right here in this unit, at this property.
Highly recommend using Deming’s delivery service. We had a late arrival after two very long flights so we had Demings go ahead and pre-shop for us based on a grocery list that we provided. Such care went into shopping for us. She even used coupons on many items for us. I sincerely appreciate her taking that extra step. It was wonderful experience that I would not hesitate to use again.
Restaurant recommendations: Honu, Mala, Kimo’s, Fleetwoods, the Farmers Market Maui (take a left out of the property and it’s may be a mile down on your right), and the best cinnamon rolls ever are right outside the property to the left, on the left at Papi’s Ohana (get in line before they officially open).
Thank you for a wonderful trip!

We enjoyed our stay! The keyless entry system is wonderful - our teenage daughters could come and go as they pleased without having to worry about a key.
Everything as described. Little notes by the outlets/ceiling fan switches/inside kitchen cabinets were very helpful. Resort is great! 2 pools, tons of gas grills (we used them often!), can walk right next door if you want a sand beach. Stort drive to Front Street. Owners left many suggestions (dining, shopping, etc) and we used almost every one and all were great. We use VRBO alot, and this was one of our best stays!

Aloha!
This was a family trip that continued to grow!We had a group of 17 people, ages ranging from 2+ to grandparents. We coordinated 3 different condos, I must say this condo was by far the BEST! Starting with great communication by the owner, right down to the amenities. There were plenty of condo kitchen supplies to all the beach essentials necessary - available for use. No need to rent snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas…I can go on and on!
This is a must rent condo! We will be returning!
Mahalo,
Tracey and family!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Papakea. The unit presents well, is easy to get in and out of, and located somewhat near many of the things we did on our trip. It's a bit of a trip up country, most everything else is within 20 minutes. Cool food truck park is a five minute walk away. Would stay again!

This condo is great! We love the location. The property was perfect for our family of 3. The only thing i wish we had was enough toilet paper to last our entire stay and had baggies and aluminum foil maybe cling wrap. I have stayed at many vrbo houses and condos and never had to purchase these items. I am sure if i asked for more tp they would have brought it to us, but i and maybe most people would not want to bother the host for this.

Our family of 7 (3 adults, 4 children ages 4-11yrs) enjoyed our stay here. The kids loved the sand toys and the closeness of the beach and pool. The kitchen was well stocked including food storage bags, and the property manager was very responsive. Make sure to keep all food sealed and put away as much as possible. There were small ants on the counters and in the bathroom in the loft, which is inevitable in Hawaii. The view from the balcony was very serene. The condo was busy and some loud noises at night could be heard from the other condo complex (not the Papakea). The actual condo was quiet.

The property was in a wonderful location and the view was exceptional from our unit. The carpet in the bedrooms was extremely dirty and needs replaced. The bathroom stool in the master worked only part time. The air conditioner leaked onto the lanai and puddled the entire time so it was hard not to track it in. We loved the resort area and the pool area was great.

We prefer the upper north shore and this unit and the Papakea resort were wonderful.

We were looking for a 9 day escape. This location was perfect. Access to a variety of foods, (smaller supermarket just across the street) excursions were reasonably close, very well maintained resort. Not too big, not too small. Just right. The road to Hona starts about an hour away, so travel for that experience will take a full day to get it all. Highly recommend the local food trucks (about 10 options) and the pizza place just across the road. Owners were great. They responded when I asked questions and provided a lengthy list of ideas to do while we were here. Condo was well appointed and clean. Niece / nephew had a great time here. Could not ask for anything more

We loved this place! Beautiful view ! You can play some mini golf ⛳️ and swim or even relax in the hot tub ! We use the TV at night and it didn’t have cable if that was cable it super basic not an issue for us but we did hear people complaining about wanting to watch a game… Had an odd experience with the people who stayed next door we over herd them talking about our door code because they stayed their before so we alerted the front desk and they contacted the mgr and in less then 20 minutes we had a locksmith knocking on our door to reset the code!! It was kind of a bummer with the people next door they smoked cigarettes which isn’t allowed your only allowed to smoke in the parking lot they have a map where you can if you do. We loved the ABC store that was and hop and skip away they have good breakfast doughnuts and other food!! This place is a win win.

The property was perfect for our family! Our kids are 17,18,22 and 22 and they each had their own bed without someone having to sleep on a sofa bed. This is very difficult to find and we were happy to have found it! The rooms were exactly what we needed and the beds were all comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the beach chairs and wagon etc were an added bonus! The A/C worked well, It was actually too cold at times on the main level and we turned it warner. The upstairs bedroom was too warm with the door shut so we left it open and the temperature was cool enough for us. The resort grounds were well kept and the staff were very nice and friendly. We will definitely refer friends to this property and will stay again if we return to Maui!

Nothing will ever top the daily beautiful view we had right from the balcony! The place was better than we expected and made our first trip so enjoyable and memorable. The rental home had everything we needed to experience the beauty of Maui and it was so conveniently close and within walking distance to stores and restaurants. Our family of 4 absolutely love this place and we definitely plan to be back! Mahalo!

This is a gem of a property on Maui. Listed at a very reasonable rate, the place has it all - clean apartment, efficient elevator, comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, good washer and dryer.
The decor is very nice. Our kids loved the loft bedroom! And the lanai (balcony) is the best part of all. Sea breezes cooling us the whole time, great view of the pool and the putting green, the ocean and Molokai island beyond. Since the balcony is northwest facing, it doesn't get the afternoon sun which is an added bonus. We didn't use the AC after our first day on a July vacation.
Papakea is a well maintained, safe and fun place. We did not do any of the activities though. Times Supermarket and other eateries are within walking distance. Beach access is from the side of the property, but the sea is a little rough there. Best drive to Kaaanapali 10 minutes away.
Beth was awesome as an host! From coordinating with the Papkea front desk, to pointing us to where in the kitchen certain utensils were stored, she did not let us have any issues. Wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone!

My husband and I had an amazing time in Kaanapali. The accommodations were beautiful and in the perfect location. We were able to watch dolphins from the Lanai, which was amazing. Our room wasn’t ready until about 45 minutes after our check in time, but that wasn’t a big deal. We had a great time overall. Hopefully we will be back again!

Exactly as described! Nothing beats waking up to that view and just steps away is some great snorkeling. Perfect location and within walking distance to some amazing food spots. Would highly recommend!

We loved this place. Great location with beautiful view. Kids had fun running in the grass outside and looking at the fish pond. It was a great location right next to the pool and the mini golf course. Will definitely stay here again!

The condo was perfect for our family of five. The furnishings were great and the beach umbrellas, chairs and cooler came in handy at the beach. AC worked great and kept things cool at night. It would have been warm without it. The property is beautiful, well maintained and they seemed to have events for the guests each day. We would definitely stay here again.

This was an amazing oceanfront condo in one of the best locations in Maui! It is well maintained and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Janet was super friendly, a pleasure to work with and answered any questions we had during our stay. I would highly recommend for any family looking for a great condo, property and beautiful sunsets. This was our favorite family vacation, and we will definitely be coming back! Thank you, Janet! Mahalo for everything!

This property was wonderful! We love Papakea and this unit was great. We loved watching the ocean from the porch and the unit was well stocked with gamees, movies, beach items, etc. We would definately stay here again!
