Our stay in Maui was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by breathtaking views, warm hospitality, and that special aloha spirit that makes this island so magical.The accommodations at Papakea were perfect—comfortable, clean, and beautifully located. We woke up to the sound of waves and ended each day with the most incredible sunsets. Every detail, from the friendly service to the thoughtful amenities, made our trip feel effortless and luxurious.We explored stunning beaches, went snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and even caught a glimpse of sea turtles! The food was another highlight—fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and delicious local dishes that left us wanting more.Whether we were relaxing under the palms or adventuring through the lush landscapes, every moment in Maui was filled with joy and wonder. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again.
Check in was not until 4 PM and was not notified of this until the day before arrival. Poor. The sofa bed was not made up. Poor.
Nice property and ammenities.
Went to celebrate my mothers 80th birthday and our new born baby. Perfect location, loved being able to walk right out to the pool and having the patio right there.
We loved our stay here. Our visit at this resort and H106 was a wonderful property. The unit was well prepared for arrival.
Loved the resort and the unit was well laid out and located. The dishwasher had some issues, I don’t think it was installed properly so the door will not stay open during loading and it left dishes dirty. I thought the mattress was too soft but I know some people prefer soft style mattresses, so I could be just me. Mostly these are just tips for the owner. I appreciate the opportunity to stay here!
We have stayed at many condos in the Papakea. This was not the most well-equipped condo, but it had everything we needed for a great trip. The location on the ground floor was perfect for our family with 2 small children.
The property is absolutely beautiful! We loved having a 1st floor unit. The views were amazing! Pool was great. Beach was a short walk to the neighboring complex. The place had everything we needed. They provided beach towels & chairs and snorkeling gear, which was really nice!
Lovely quiet stay with fewer than usual tourists this time. Love the patio view and access to the waterfront, also to the parking area for quick access.
Words cannot describe what a beautiful and amazing location this was to relax and unwind for our family. The location is on the first floor, is steps from the water, near good food spots and near Lahaina. We enjoyed using the well equipped kitchen to prep meals, the Tommy Bahama beach chairs, the bbq grill next to the pool, and all the amenities. These owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and anticipated all our needs during our stay. I would highly recommend this rental for families with kids and people with mobility issues.
A lovely resort tucked away in a well-manicured, beautiful - tropical landscaped setting! H106 - our condo, staff, was totally accommodating! Great view of the grounds, Koi Pond and ocean background. Easy access to pools and recreational games. Plenty of seating, two sofas and full side chair, sat our party of five comfortably, which is not the case with most of the condos. Plus, it sleeps three in second bedroom. Win, win! We did have an issue with the high-end dryer not drying on our last night, so hope that was worked out. Also, ground floor and no bugs. Another win! Full access, brief walk to beaches and a wonderful Food Truck Court next door - delicious! Absolutely a wonderful memorable stay!!!
It is Maui after all. Mahalo!
Very happy with this condo. It was clean and spacious! I loved having the convenience of walking in and out of our ground floor patio. I think the master room AC didn’t stay very cool for some reason, maybe the heat from the west sun? Not sure. We love that resort, this was our second trip there.
We enjoyed the property for the most part. Great view and cool amenities for a condo community. The place needs a little updating and cleaning. Air vents dusty , sand and dirt from previous people on the floor. The management group was responsive in getting some more things we needed. There were 3 coffee mugs and there was 5 of us. There are 3 beach chairs , and an incomplete snorkeling set so we bought our own. Just little things that need to be checked on after tenants.
Very relaxing and fun the property makes it easy to access the beach and great proximity of restaurants and other activities
Our Resort proved to be nothing less than spectacular. Situated seconds from the ocean with wonderful views, the property was outstanding. A short walk from the Resort found supermarkets, restaurants, food trucks, more beaches, and many other amenities.

This is a great location. Walking distance to so many things. Our condo was fine and we were in Hawaii so that made everything manageable!!!There was a good amount of space in main room, but we found a few things problematic in condo. Thankfully when the A/C unit wasn't working, they had someone out to fix it a few days later and were helpful to bring some extra towels and cleaning supplies when it leaked all over our clothes in the dresser. Unfortunately the washing machine was FULL of mold, so even the clean clothes weren't really getting clean. The dishwasher didn't clean dishes and the detergent pods provided didn't work so we did most dishes by hand. The back bedroom was not as spacious as it looked in pictures and there was no place for the kids to put their clothes. The closet was full of a dresser that didn't open and it just took up space where suitcases could have gone. We were told we could take the doors off but didn't want to deal with how to do it or where to store them since there was no extra room. Property managers were nice and brought extra towels, but we were offered no other compensation which was a bummer.
This was a lovely ground floor unit with lanai right near the Koi pond with a small view directly to the ocean through the palm trees. Large master bedroom and then a smaller 2nd bedroom that was great for kids. A great resort with Two pools and hot tubs, covered community Lanai to sit at if raining to still view the ocean! Will stay here again next year

Great location! Great experience!

We have been to this resort many times, but this time we were disappointed and upset. This was first time ever we paid the most, but got the worst unit. As soon as we walked the unit was poorly cleaned, we found bottles under the couch, dust and floors were filthy first thing we did moped and washed the floors - and let me tell you cleaning fee is not cheap… the faucet was leaking, there was a blue bowls under to collect water, pots and pens poor quality and rusty, for the fees taxes and rental it’s more then affordable to go to Ross and purchase some brand new kitchen utensils, which in fact we did. Air conditioner in master bedroom leaking water, our clothes got soaking wet. The faucet in master bedroom leaking. The most uncomfortable mattress pad in master bedroom. The pictures were the best quality, super clean and cozy, next time be honest rather then saying fully remodeled… thankful for free sunsets, views and fresh air we got to enjoy from the outside. But the unit deserves some much needed love
The property was clean and the host communication was great. Lots of linens and towels for showering and going to the beach. Plenty of room for a family of 5-6. We would recommend the unit and the Papakea resort to other families.
Property was well maintained, clean, quiet. Property looks like some of the nearby overpriced locations with less congestion.
Really enjoyed the "vibe" there.
Lovely property. I shall return!
The unit was awesome- beds were comfortable, location perfect beautiful finishes. However, the smell was terrible when we arrived, which we discovered was the washing machine and dryer units that needed some serious maintenance. Once we cleaned those and the ac units the place was great.
