We visit Maui each year with our family and for the past 4 years have stayed at the Honua Kai. We LOVE the resort, the ammenities and convenience it offers.
Having said this, there are many units at the resort that offer fantastic accommodations and amazing ocean views. However, this is by far, one of the best and THE BEST if you have kids. We have a 6mo. old and a 4 yr old and we can't begin to explain how perfect this condo was. The stunning panoramic view of the ocean when you first walk-in takes your breath away. The pictures don't even come close to capturing the 360 views from the entire living room area! Just amazing! The sunsets from the lanai are breathtaking.
There are only a handful of corner units in the entire resort and this is one of them. Not only do you get the convenience of the ground floor, the amount of space that this unit has was fantastic for the kids. They could play and not worry about stepping on top of each other. The outside lanai is HUGE! It extends from the living room to the master. The grass area right outside is very private and was awesome for our 4 year old. He and Dad played football and games all week outside on the lanai. The landscaping has matured nicely and you can't hear or see people walking by. The path from the grass area leads right to the pool areas, which was probably the number one reason this unit is a must when traveling with kids, strollers and beach stuff. Oh which reminds me, if you are traveling with an infant, the owners have made your stay 100% convenient by supplying all the baby gear you will need. There was a pack n play and even a jumparoo in the closet! This was very unexpected, BUT VERY well utilized. Thank you!
The unit was very clean, and the property management company was very proffesional and attentive. They supply gourmet coffee for your entire stay and were available for any and all questions we had during our visit.
For the beach goers, the owners have supplied all the gear as well. There are beach chairs, a cooler, sand toys for the kids, boogie boards and more.
We can't say enough about this unit. It checked every box and then some! We are booking our return visit for next year as we speak. The only thing we were bummed about was leaving! If you have the opportunity to stay for a couple weeks, DO IT!
Thank you Lynne and Roger for your hospitality. We can't wait to return!
