Having traveled and stayed at many resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, I had high expectations of Papakea Resort. When arriving and checking in we were greeted with a friendly Aloha, given our key and “free breakfast ticket” (you have to listen to a 30 talk on different tours to take). When walking up to L408 we noticed many construction... more

For a family of 4, the units are cramped. With only one bathroom to use, there were some challenges. The staff was accommodating, however not overly informative. Extra charges for golf clubs to use on the putting green and for the safe key was dissappointing. Nickle and diming an already pricy getaway was sad. The unit we stayed in had... more

Rented a condo here for a week for my honeymoon. Was completely disappointed when we saw our room. Dirty and rusty with bugs flying all around. The second night was very unpleasant as there was a bunch of drunk teenagers having a party right above us...before we knew it the party moved outside-which then escalated into a drunken brawl on... more

ResortQuest at Papakea Resort is total worth it!!...I had booked an ocean view room from Cheaptickets. Before going to Maui, i had called up the hotel and mentioned to them that i am travelling with a kid and would like a good and clean room. I was pleasantly surprised to see the room when i entered. It was just perfect.... more

Myself and wife stayed for 10 days and had absolutely no complaints about Papakea.The staff were friendly,the unit clean and room service every day. There was not much beach directly at rear of the grounds for swimming etc.but it is only a few minutes walk to nice beach.The grounds were beautiful parklike,and very peaceful and serene.We both thoroughly enjoyed our... more

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
