ALL Papakea buildings are going through interior renovation to remove all plumbing pipes and replace them with new pipes. The interior renovation in E building (the building my condo is) is to going to be completed by the end of May 2025. So if you are renting my unit before April 30, you may hear some construction noise from the work going on in adjacent units from Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. For this reason the rate for April has been deeply discounted. If this bothers you, you may not want to rent my unit in month of April 2025. Renovation of my condo - Condo E310 is scheduled for May 1 to May 30. My condo will not be available for rent during the month of May.

This place is everything it's represented to be online, but Ray was an especially awesome host. We had a communication problem (on my part, not his - I'd had trouble changing the number of guests on the VRBO app and hadn't realized I hadn't correctly registered the number of guests when my son and girlfriend decided to join us kind of last minute). Ray was super helpful, didn't hold the error against me, and helped us figure out everything we needed. Highly recommend this condo and owner!

We loved the resort and the location. The grounds and pool areas were very well maintained . We have stayed over in Kehei area previously and decide to try this area. The condo was a one bedroom with king bed. The mattress was a bit lumpy but otherwise ok.The kitchen was well equipped. The ice machine on the fridge didn’t produce ice so we had to buy ice. The air conditioner didn’t seem to keep the condo very cool. The unit is on the end by the stairwell which can be noisy at night. We did have issues with the wash machine and contacted the owner who was pleasant to deal with and was attending to the problem promptly, however it had not been fixed by the time we left.
I would rate this condo 3.75/5.
Location resort and staff 5/5

We enjoyed the location. The place was clean and looked like the pictures. Getting to and from the pool/ bbq area and beach was an easy walk. The A/C never got very cold when we returned to our room which was the only drawback we experienced.

4.5/5 stars - Had a wonderful stay in a great location. The Condo was great and met our needs. We enjoyed coffee/breakfast on the lanai, even saw a whale during one of our breakfasts. The resort is very well maintained with access to one of the best beaches in Maui.
I would have given 5/5 but there were a couple of maintenance issues that the owner was able to address in a timely manner, and the beach towels could use upgrading/replacing.

The resort was lovely but we were disappointed with our stay in the unit. There was an infestation of ants and roaches in the kitchen where we had to throw out groceries that became contaminated. The owner was immediately responsive and offered pest treatment which we declined to avoid exposure to chemicals. Instead, since we didn’t feel comfortable using the kitchen, we asked for a 25% discount off the daily rate which was rejected. The owner offered $100 to cover food-related costs, but later wrote that refund would only be available after we submitted our review. At this time of writing, it is unknown whether we will receive that refund.
