Not Good if you're looking for a tropical Hawaiian setting. This place is more like apartments on the beach. Actually some are apartments. A lot of older people (70-90+). Beach is tiny to non existent at high tide. Swimming is hazardous. I consider myself a courtious smoker but this place goes overboard. Smoking is discouraged anywhere on prop even though... more

One word: cockroaches!!!! As soon as we checked in and got to the door we found a notice about "regular pest cleaning". The notice said that if guests had a baby they could be exempted from the procedure but then all roaches would move to that condo. We had a toddler, and asked to be exempted since he would put... more

The location is outstanding and the view is perfect. The staff is very rude when they decide you aren't going to buy a timeshare. A mistake with reception had us having to move out of our room into another for the final night. It wasn't until my husband complained enough that they decided to accomodate us. Things like that happen... more

Over the past 10 or so years, we have stayed at 4 different properties in Maui, all in the Kahana. So, I feel that I have a basis to compare our stay at the Papakea with other properties in the area. We are a family of 4. Our room E-310 was an Ocean View room. I found the room to... more

It was a girls trip to Mau Hawaii. There were 9 of us and we had a two bedroom condo at the Papakea with a loft. Our unit was on the top floor and had a great view of the pool and the ocean. It was spacious and comfortable and had a full kitchen which helped us keep our expenses... more

This is the second year we've stayed at Papakea in A 202. It's the fifth time we've stayed at Papakea overall. It's a great place for us! It has beautiful mature grounds with some of the biggest koi we've ever seen. We prefer a quieter property with the ammenities that are most important to us. That includes a nice pool... more

This was our first trip ever to Hawaii. I expected it to be a bit like the southern CA area with the beauty of palm trees and exotic flowers and plants. We were most definitely surprised by Maui's utmost beauty. We spent 11 marvelous days. We stayed in the ocean front condos in a corner unit and it was gorgeous!... more

We had a wonderful 12 day stay at the Papakea. The condo was comfortable and clean. We had an awesome ocean view. We have recommended the Papakea to several friends and we look forward to another trip to Maui and another stay at the Papakea. more

The room we stayed in was only feet from the crashing waves, with only grass between our door and the water. The room itself was fine. The furniture and decor were nothing to write home about, but the point of this place is the view. The grounds of the Papakea are nice. The BBQ's that are available for anyone to... more
