The lanai is about 100ft to the ocean. The resort has a sea wall that is about 10’ high. The ability to walk out of the living room directly to that view was fantastic. We stayed 10 days in January 2026. The condo was well stocked with kitchen essentials and the consumable supplies did not run out. There were beach towels (4 for 2 people), beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel equipment, binoculars, and putters(& balls) for the onsite greens. We only used the binocs and putters, but all the other things were available. There was a standard hotel room safe in the bedroom closet. We cooked on the resort grills several times. They were all 4 burner Webers and all in great condition with clean grates each time I used them.We saw many whales from the lanai & grassy area. They were several miles out, but you can see the & it’s a fun/unique experience. Great place, very relaxing.

Great location!

We really had a great time and loved the condo. The view was amazing. It was so nice to have our coffee ocean front every morning. My husband said the snorkeling right out back was so good, he don’t need to book a snorkeling tour! The property is beautiful and well maintained. There are many things to do and places to go, all within walking distance. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub too.

Our 5 night stay at Papakia in was exceptional. I have stayed at this resort a number of times and this was by far the best experience for a number of reasons. Location- what’s not to love about a ground floor ocean facing condo steps away from the water. Convenience- the condo is was also the closest proximity, ( 30 sec walk) in reality you can get to the pool , BBQ and hot tub area, and no- noise was not a problem at all. The condo was modern and well equipped with all you would expect. What I also like about this building and the location of the unit is that it’s a straight shot to the reception and parking area, makes a big difference when your carting groceries and luggage etc.. BTW Papakia does have plenty of trollies available to assist.Our host was a superb communicator, it was very helpful when I had questions etc.Oh, and being on the bottom floor was not a hindrance in any way from a noise standpoint- the complex in general is peaceful and quiet but I might also mention there was really zero noise from any of the above floors. I would highly recommend the Papakia report and particularly this unit, spend the extra money for this unit, you will not be sorry.

Wake up to the whales!

We loved our stay! What a treat it was to open the shades each morning to an unobstructed view of the ocean. It truly is breathtaking. We also saw multiple whale breaches while sitting on the patio drinking our coffee. The Papakea property is lovely and has everything you need: a pool, hot tub and outdoor grill access. We will absolutely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Highly recommend!

We fell in love with the location. Right in the sea wall and spent most of our afternoons laying out. We were able to spot turtles and whales from the patio (even walked out and snorkeled with the turtles right there with host provided snorkel gear!). It’s not a crowded facility, mostly retirees and a few families. We made great use of the kitchen as well as the resort provided grills. Would definitely consider rebooking if/when back on Maui.

Comfortable & Great Views

Check in was easy and staff was friendly. Being on the ground floor facing the ocean was perfect! We stayed during April so we had plenty of whale watching from the patio which was so nice especially while my son took a nap. There is both a coffee maker and a keurig so that made it simple. The kitchen amenities were great for cooking in the unit but there are also grills on site available. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We saw whales and sea turtles; you can snorkel just out front as well. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping.

Papakea is an amazing property, is our third time staying there and have never left disappointed. Our washing machine did not work in our unit and repair men couldn’t get to it while we were there, but a little hand washing and it didn’t really affect anything. The unit was great, the amenities were on point. We absolutely love Papakea and will definitely return again.

Location, location

This condo is located on the ocean front, convenient to both swimming pool areas, and on the ground floor so you can walk directly out to the seawall. Condo was well equipped and vacation comfortable. We had to reset the Wi-fi router a few times and we had trouble with the TV, but we didn’t make any attempt to seek help with the television, so it is not a negative reflection on the condo. The rebuild in nearby Lahaina is both heartbreaking and inspiring. West Maui is vibrant and there are plenty of dining, shopping, and opportunities for guided excursions in the area. We highly recommend this condo and will stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

Sunsets Only Good Thing

Well, I waited a couple of months to leave this review so that I could cool off. Check-in process was a breeze, the condo was availble when we got in town, our friends' condo was not. First impression was gorgeous view and location on property. Not too far from nearest parking, but having ocean front made up for that. Condo was not clean, at first overlooked it, but then realized that the sheets were soiled and dirt on the floor. My husband dropped a bottle of water in the bathroom and when cleaning it up realized just how dirty the place was. Took pictures and sent to property owners who said they would send housekeeping back to clean the place. We made sure to be gone all day so as not to interrupt them from cleaning and when we got back it was clear that no one showed up. Dirt still on kitchen floor, nothing was out of place. Their housekeeper told them they did an extra clean, but they clearly were lied to. I took more pictures and sent them and then communication stopped. The bed was HORRIBLE, asked if they could provide a mattress topper, but they refused and said it was a "new-ish" mattress. Had to purchase a mattress topper to get any sleep. Would not stay here again due to the communication stopping and the owners not believing me that the housekeeping did not come by. They said they have used the same housekeeper for 15 years and have had no issues, but looking back through reviews that is not true, there are others that have complained about the housekeeping.
