The condo we stayed in was amazing!! First, the grounds and staff at the Papakea are terrific. Check in was quick and easy and we were settled in in no time. Our condo was fabulous! It was very clean and recently had some really nice updates done to the bathrooms and had new air conditioning units throughout!! The view is incredible!! We spent a lot of time on the balcony watching sunrise/sunsets and of course the whales, dolphins, and turtles!! The layout of the condo worked great for the four of us and had plenty of room left over in the loft had we had more people with us!! The condo had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible!! All the communication with the management company was great! Every question we had was answered quickly and completely which took all the uncertainty out of the experience!! We would highly recommend this unit!! We can’t wait to go back!!!

This condo is NOT BRAND NEW! Very dated with worn out furniture and stained carpets throughout . Every vent from bathrooms to windows were caked with dust/dirt/grime. When first entering it seemed fine. Once opening things up the lack of upkeep was very evident. I've taken pictures of all this but don't know where I can send them.

I don’t like leaving bad reviews but this property needs attention. Some of the issues reported were taken off during our stay. However, there are other items still needing to be addressed.

This property had a horrible infestation of sugar ants. Multiple black ants traps were left on the kitchen counter making the kitchen unsafe for food due to the chemicals. Cockroaches were also present. We have stayed at Papakea for the past 15 years and have never encountered bugs in the units we have rented. Carpets in the bedrooms need to be replaced or cleaned...they were stained and filthy. The only thing good about this condo was the view, it was amazing!

Oceanfront view was spectacular. Watched whales morning and night from our lanai. Beautiful. Great location - close to food truck park where we could support the local Maui vendors.
Maui Activity Concierge (Candice Negron) was fabulous. She coordinated great excursions for the group and was extremely helpful throughout the process. Candice even suggested the placing of flower leis and flower petals in the ocean during our whale watching excursion as a way of remembering a loved ones who passed (my wife Jane/other traveler's husband Carlos). It was moving and memorable. Other members on the voyage were also impressed and moved by the idea.
Unit does need some upgrading in areas of carpet, trim falling from wall, screen door doesn't close/latch, trim peeling away from drawers/cabinets and missing wall panel in bedroom laying against mirror on floor.

We stayed in A403, it’s a lovely place with a great view and beautiful area. Upon arrival though, we were told the place was clean, but the kitchen floors were dirty and some of the walls were too. Otherwise, we enjoyed our time there.

The location was amazing. Looking out over the ocean we saw dozens of humpback whales. Occasionally a sea turtle would swim by searching for food. We were fortunate to see a monk seal and a few sea otters. I was more than happy with the location.

Our rental was right above the beach where my family swam many times a day. We could watch them from our outdoor patio. The view was incredible and the property was beautiful. The only issue we had is that for what the cleaning fee was it could have been cleaner and we did not have many of the basic items one would normally expect. No paper towels, no sponge, 4 rolls of toilet paper for 7 people, no laundry soap, no bathroom soap and only 2 garbage bags and a very small garbage can. There were some interior maintenance issues as well. There was no garbage disposal though there was one not hooked up under the kitchen sink. I know your arrival instructions said there would only be a starter supply of paper products and soap but I feel we didn't even get that. And there were extra pillows in the closets but they were unusable as none of them had pillowcases. That being said I would stay at the resort again and even in that rental if some of the supply and maintenance issues were taken care of. We had an amazing time.

The location was absolutely stunning. The condo itself left a lot to be desired. We checked in at 4 pm local time, after the housekeeping staff was supposedly there. The condo was not clean, there were dirty linens on the bed, there were dirty dishes in the cabinets, there was someone's toenails in the carpet upstairs. There was a vap-pen cartridge under the bed in the first bedroom. A storage room door above the door in the master bedroom fell down when we were out at breakfast. The property manager had to come remove it as it was a danger. Cabinets in the kitchen had peeling laminate, the dishwasher had peeling trip piece. The bathroom medicine cabinets were held closed with tape. to top all of this off we were not able to get into the property from 8/8-8/11 due to the roads being blocked off due to the Lahaina fire. We lived in our rental car for a few days.

The unit had a beautiful view and the property was fantastic. The unit itself was sufficient but needed updates. The carpet was very dirty in both bedrooms. The a/c leaked and puddled on the lanai the week we were there. The bathroom in the master wouldnt flush properly. despite these issues we had a great time there. A beautiful location.

The condo is very nice and updated which can accommodate 8 people. The view from the balcony is incredible looking straight out to the ocean looking at the islands of Molakai and Lanai. Sunsets are great right from the balcony. You can go out in the ocean in front of the rock wall during low tide and there is a sandy beach on either side of the resort. There is one AC in the living room so fans are used to help circulate the air. Keep the balcony shades closed to help keep the sun out to keep the condo cooler. I would definitely recommend this condo.

The home was in the most perfect location and had everything stocked that we could possibly need. Our contact was extremely prompt getting back to us if we had a question. We will definitely plan our next visit around this unit’s availability.

The location was great, the view was amazing, everyone was good to deal with. Had a problem with the plumbing the last four days which made things very disruptive. Without the plumbing issue (probably not a regular thing) it was a great visit. Second time at Papakea and would go again.

We had a great time as always.
I was very unhappy when I realized I couldn’t rent again in Dec 2023. (In previous years the property was not available to rent until about 11 months before)

first day- door fell off dresser,toilet backed up,mirror doors would not open, place was a little dirty( only surface cleaning was done)
no lights working in the loft( all light blubs were burned out)after 2 days we noticed that the A/C was not working to good-we find that the A/C was dirty filter was clogged So Disgusting. also both bathroom fans were the same way(just no filter needed in those fans.
On a Good note when we call to get these items fixed. They did a Great job fixing them.
We did have mid weeks cleaning done - That went Great-New bed sheets, New Beach Towels for the whole place.

only issues not enough Lounge chairs at the pools
On Thurdays Free Mai Tai Drinks ( how do you run out of Rum so fast?) every Thursday we were there.

Papakea and this particular vacation rental were perfect. Plenty of space for my family of six. Great, well stocked kitchen. Beautiful view. Not nearly as crowded as some resorts can get. Felt like a quiet, private oasis for my family.

We had a wonderful stay at Papakea resort unit A403. Most gorgeous view of the sunsets and ocean and all we could ask for. Clean, plenty of beach and bath towels for 8.
Beds were comfortable and everything we needed in the kitchen.
The only negative would be the condition of the carpets in the bedrooms.
I would recommend replacing the carpet with tiles in order to maintain the look of the condo. Carpets are stained and used looking.
Otherwise, everything else was perfect.

We enjoyed Papakea but would not stay in this unit again. The carpets are filthy and didn't make me want to walk on them in bare feet. Kitchen appliances are needing to be upgraded. Bi-fold doors to washer and dryer don't open far enough to get the dryer door closed, Master shower head leaks and is pulling away from the wall, tile is cracked. The stairs to the loft area are steep and aren't safe for kids. I needed an iron and ironing board and was told there was not one in the unit, there was but the ironing board needs to be replaced. There were beach chairs, but the umbrella was broken. The view was amazing, and the location of Papakea was great.

Love staying at Papakea resort Maui, Overall was satisfied with everything, but the unit A403 needs some updates, carpet in bedrooms was very dirty, furniture and kitchen appliances could use replacing, None of that kept us from enjoying everything

The carpet and furniture in A403 were very dirty and outdated. The unit was well equipped with a few minor utensils missing. It is Ocean front but this did not make up for the disappointment of the filth.

Furnashings outdated, exposed wiring, disgusting dirty bedroom carpets, and cookware was a horrible miss mash of small wear. The service desk and concierge were very busy and didn't go out of their way to provide friendly service -- we will not be returning!!!

We enjoyed our stay. The Papakea resort is perfectly locatedto the beach, walking distance to stores and restaurants and a quick drive to Lahaina. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. The two pools are lovely. Our condo had a balcony that faced the beach. This was so lovely. The only downside is I wish the unit had better air conditioning, although I understand that a majority of Maui is like this. It only had one window unit for the 3 bedroom condo. The average daily temperature in Maui during our stay was about 88.

We really like the unit and the location, but checking in the unit was really not clean. The floor was dusty, the countertops had food stains, the stove top had stains, and the refrigerator really smelled bad. We spent a good 2 hrs wiping everything down. After that we had a great stay, but just wish cleaning was better.

We loved our stay here! It was the perfect space for our big family! The loft was so great for the kids to sleep and hang out in. The ocean is literally 25 feet from the lanai where you have a unobstructed view of the whales who were jumping all day long when we were here.

This condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Spices, beach chairs, an ice chest, and beach towels.

The property was quiet and it was easy to find a lounge chair around the pool. Every afternoon after the beach we would pour a cocktail and sit in the hot tub.

Everything you need is walking distance from Papakea. We can't wait to come back again!
