Luxurious Waterfront Retreat w/ Views, Soaking Tub, Pools, Hot Tubs at Honua Kai

We have stayed at this same condo once before and enjoyed coming back for a second time. All amenities are provided and many extras to ensure your stay is comfortable without having to buy a lot of extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, even books and games for a family.

Room was spacious and nicely decorated with a bedroom, huge bath and living/kitchen area. Easy check-in with the bell desk - friendly and helpful staff. Easy access to pool towels using the automated pool area dispensers. And of course, having Duke’s onsite is great.

Condo was perfect! Had everything we needed. Loved it here.

This place was amazing! From the room to all the amenities. Everything you need is conveniently located stores, restaurants, beaches etc. What we really loved about this place was that no matter where you went on the resort it didn’t feel crowded at all. When getting away specially to Hawaii we always try to stay somewhere that it is not too crowded and I can genuinely say that this place tops all of them. 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for the perfect spot in Lahaina/Maui.

Nice place, would recommend. Guest parking is a bit far, but that is balanced out by the fact that the property and amenities are great. Everything is convenient, and there are stores both in the building and within walking distance.

Came along with a large group for a wedding. Rental was clean and proximity to amenities was close. A few surprises include the ownership opt out of poolside towel service and parking. On the parking note, I was told complex has 600 units but only 200 underground spots available. Often required a 5 minute walk if returning to unit after 8pm. Did call Vacasa three times regarding towel before I could be provided an answer as to why key fobs didn’t unlock towel lockers. Perhaps I missed this detail in rental agreement, but seems like a very relevant service to provide to tenants. I would consider staying at Honua Kai again, but would look into the other building first (I stayed at Konea).

Couches we’re filthy stained…. Cushion on chairs in kitchen also disgusting. This unit is not very nice at all. Location is ok, but small compared to others. Or it just seems small because of how everything is in there.

The room was perfect, my sister and I had a great view! Would stay at this resort again. The valet parking is free, they were short on staff at the time, but we could park ourselves in resort parking provided if we didn't want to wait on the Valet.

For being a 1-bedroom, we found this unit to be spacious, with an enormous bathroom (dual sinks, large shower, and separate bathtub), large sitting area with dining table, and typical kitchen. We loved having laundry in the unit, and the balcony was large and had a great view

We have stayed in Honua Kai rooms previously. The location of the resort is incredible. We love the beaches that are literally on the back steps and the pools are amazing for our kids. We look forward to staying at Honua Kai again. However, staying at this resort before, in other rooms, has given us a good idea of expectations. This particular unit left things to be desired, and we would not book again in this unit or likely with this owner group. Upon walking into the unit, our view in this room was breathtaking. It was clean, organized and just as described in the listing. However our concerns over the 13 days we were in the unit were about the little things that add up over the time of our stay. Little things that other units at Honua Kai provide. These were: -Strong musty smell in the unit that we had to correct with scented wall plug ins -The air conditioning thermostat was set on a locked timer and did not allow for easy use to personal preferences -The balcony doors were so stiff and jammed so bad that they were incredibly hard to close. -The fridge was quite worn out, broken shelves and had a hard time keeping food cold. -Very little beach gear in the closet(many rooms normally provide good chairs,umbrella,sand castle toys etc). The chairs they provided were rusty, and not useable. No beach umbrella was in the room. So plan on purchasing your own. -They do not provide enough towels for beaches/pool use. You are also not entitled to use the resorts towel program when staying in this particular room. -The keycard/wristbands do not open the secondary gate to enter the resort, you must always enter the main entrance instead of the shorter gate access entrance. -The TV’s are old and not smart TV’s. It would have been nice after a day on the beaches to watch Netflix at night. There was only very basic and poor quality analog cable network service. -The wifi log on info provided does not work, when contacted they do not reply. The correct wifi name and passcode is located on the back of the cable box. -Checkout info is not clear or specific to Honua Kai on how to return wristbands/parking pass key cards. When contacted they did not return our texts. We would recommend staying at Honua Kai Resort to any of our family & friends. Perhaps just a different unit.

My favorite feature is that the wall/glass doors out to the deck fold to completely open up.
