This unit is very nice, clean, and welcoming. Literally had beach chairs, umbrella, ice chest and snorkel gear to use. Property managers were so nice and accommodating. Resort itself was big and great for the family! Would definitely stay her again!
The floorplan was great and worked well for our family of 4 - overall we were comfortable and the binder was helpful. The location in the building was disappointing - semi-truck deliveries and loading dock noise every morning right off the lanai, we understood that our view would not be ideal, but there was no mention of the noise. The living room furniture was different than pictured, the washer and dryer did not work well (washer smelled bad because it was not left open to dry out, the dryer was not able to dry a load of regular clothes and certainly not our towels), the shower connected to the smaller bedroom was not adjustable in height or in flow and was too powerful for my children, which was a bummer because they had to use the bigger bedroom shower. Also, for a condo that can sleep 4 - there are so few places to hang a wet towel or swimsuits - there needs to be more towel racks, hooks or a portable drying rack or something - this was probably the most irksome thing since we were always needing dry suits/towels. Most kitchen items were helpful and we were able to find what we needed for a 7 day stay, some items were old and in disrepair (broken pots/pans, broken/dangerous and dull knives, cutting boards that need to be replaced). We had family staying in the same building, so we were able to manage any needs that way and our problems were not big enough to really matter in the end - the resort was amazing and we spent most of our time out of the condo.
Great family getaway, advertised accurately.
This Condo complex is amazing, lots of pool space with adequate seating a wonderful beach access just steps away and a first class restaurant on site. There are many restaurants and a grocery store a 15 minute walk or a short drive away. The complex has plenty of parking and a great underground parking lot very convenient to the unit when you figure out where to park. The beach is safe and is adequate for snorkeling, better snorkeling is a short drive from the complex. The unit is well provisioned for cooking, a couple cookie sheets would be a nice addition. The beds were very comfortable, the furniture did leave a bit to be desired in comfort. We did struggle a bit with managing a comfortable temperature between the 2 bedrooms and the rest of the condo, there seems to be multi zoning controls but there wasn’t any documentation explaining how to control the comfort level, this wasn’t a big deal just a suggestion to make it better. The last comment has to do with my 4 star rating rather than 5, every day at 6 AM there was a loud noise outside the unit sounded like the trash dumpster pickup. After a couple days we realized the unit is just above the delivery dock and the complex has deliveries coming in early in the morning. We did notify the rental agency of this issue and they contacted the complex and that did seem to help as we didn’t notice the noise as early. This balcony location and view and the comfort of the furniture was the only negative of the condo.
Beachfront this ain’t. While there’s little between the *resort* and the beach, this unit is at the *back* of the resort, overlooking a parking lot; indeed, the unit, as mentioned in other reviews, is directly over the delivery dock. The intermittent clatter is really quite annoying. Not a unit for adults without children.If you have 2-3 kids, however, this might work
Everything was great. It was the perfect spot for our family. Check in and check out was seemless. Helped us have the perfect vacation! Would book this same listing again!
We had a wonderful relaxing visit over winter break as the management company was responsive throughout our visit.The check-in process was efficient and they followed up when we had questions about the unit.
This was our third stay at Honua Kai. Our last two visits we stayed in units on the sides of the building; this unit is at the back—facing the street. As other reviewers have mentioned, this unit is directly above where delivery trucks enter the building. That noise didn’t bother us, but the wind prevented us from using the lanai. We’d recommend staying on the sides or oceanfront if you want to use your lanai. This unit wasn’t as well stocked as others: only one replacement garbage bag, no beach wagon or umbrella, no Kleenex, etc.
Nice property. Room was great. Would stay here again.

The ac did not work threw out the house and one bedroom, the fan In the living room didn’t work… so there was no air flow! The washing machine had mold in it and it was leaking so the floor was soaked!! But other than that it was nice and the kids had a blast

Would def stay here again!
Booked in a rush and didn’t read the reviews about location/noise from delivery trucks. This unit it directly above the receiving docks and garbage bins. RELENTLESS beeping from Sysco deliveries (starting at 6:30a) and huge trash bins being moved around. Some deliveries were at 3:30am. Noise from the bins vibrates throughout the unit. Would not recommend staying in this unit.

This unit located on the hotel property but you are renting from privet party there for your key opens only your unit. The unit itself is clean and have beach chairs and towels. It over looking at the parking lot. We had no internet ( broken modem) any attempt by manager were unsuccessful. I will not stay at this place again.

Nicely appointed unit with beach chairs and boogie boards for the kids! It is overlooking the parking lot and entrance for the service trucks with a Mountain View in the background. Carpets were filthy when we arrived! (Unit had been occupied every day for 3 months so they hadn't been able to clean the carpets according to them) We let the owner know, and they were great about setting up carpet cleaning the next day. We were promised a discount because of the inconvenience...but have not heard back from the owner since our last inquiry about this.
Overall the room itself was good, the major bad things are the AC unit on the main living room DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. Our guest who slept there was roasting most of the time. Also you need to update the sofa bed, it is terrible, again our guest who stayed there had to sleep on the sofa itself as he said he felt the springs on his back.
The property itself "Honua Kai Resort" was outstanding, we had a lot of fun.
Next time we will look closer at the reviews to make sure all is fine with the unist, we're not sure if we'll stay in this same unit again.
Also if you cannot disclose the physical location of the room how is the review going to help future guests, I don't get it.
Great size for family of 4. Very clean & had everything we needed for a great week of fun & relaxing. Beautiful inside & out. Closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

This was a great place to stay with toddlers! It had a kitchen that was stocked with necessities. We had great access to pools and beach all the time. Would totally stay there again!
Such a beautiful room and property! I had 3 toddlers who loved the pool, such a nice surprise to find water toys in the closet! Beaches are near For snorkeling and play! It is centrally located near everything you need- groceries, activities, restaurants and shopping! I highly recommend this property!
