As owners at Papakea Resort in West Maui, we have witnessed the aftermath of devastation caused by the terrible fires in Lahaina of Aug 8, 2023. In addition to most of Lahaina's families losing their homes and Ohana, many have lost their jobs as a result of the reduction in tourism, as we respect the grieving community.
While most of Lahaina proper is closed to everyone, access to the surrounding West Maui communities of Honokawai (Papakea's location), Kaanapali, Kahana, Kapalua and Napili are easily accessible via the Highway 3000 bypass around Lahaina. Local businesses are struggling so we have lowered our December rates to accommodate accordingly.
Our unit is stocked with beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear, and golf putters - perfect for a couple or small family. PLEASE call us at (808)280-9753 for any clarifying questions about visiting West Maui at this time.
We have owned here since 2012 and have made many improvements to our unit, including new tile throughout, upgraded bathroom/shower, and new furniture.
This ground floor unit is uniquely situated to offer privacy with tropical landscaping and Koi pond directly outside our lanai, yet is only a stone's throw away from the putting area, pool, BBQ's, kabana, and a huge, grassy area near our sea wall to lounge and enjoy unobstructed views of the ocean and Molokai Island.
Enjoy a relaxing day from Papakea, with views of Sea Turtles year-round, and whales from Dec through April. The 'boardwalk' to the south provides access to over 2 miles; all the way to the famous Kaanapali resort area.
Papakea is a 4-story/low rise complex on 13 acres, beautifully landscaped with amazing tropical gardens and ponds. The resort amenities include 2 pools, 2 Jacuzzis, tennis and pickle ball courts, 2 shuffleboards, 2 putting greens, 12 gas barbecues, picnic areas, free WiFi Internet access.
Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for a great meal. We typically keep some seasonings, cooking oil, etc. There is a safe, iron/ironing board, washer and dryer. New LG 48-inch QLED TV in the living room, cable and free WiFi....

This is my second time at Papakea Resort since I enjoyed the location and sunset views here. This time, I opted for ground level unit. This allowed us a backyard where we can just walk out and go to pool, ocean, and watch the sunsets.
Pros:
Location, very easy drive to many locations in West Maui like Lahaina, Kapalua, Napili, Kaanapali.
Noise level is good. Neighbors are considerate and not terribly loud
Ground level, nice outdoor table for brunch.
Cons:
Bugs
There were 4 black moths during our first night, all came out of hiding from the plants and curtains.
3rd night, found a cockroach.
Plants in vase were dead and dried up. Should be relaxed if you have new guests
Sofa bed/futon was heavily used. Sunken in and hard to sleep in. This place was advertised for 4 people but it would be hard to have two adults sleep in this sofa
Furnitures need to be dusted

Great location, about 10 min to downtown Lahaina, 3 min car (10 walking) to Kaanapali beach, 12 min to Napili Bay.
Very charming apartment, nice decor.
Steps to the ocean, literally less than one minute walking to see a beautiful view.

We love staying at Papakea. This is our first time in this unit. It was a bottom floor and that was even better. The unit was nice and clean. The kitchen could use some higher quality utensils, but who’s cooking? Well, me, but I overcame. We had a noise with the a/c but used earplugs and reported the issue to the owner. Nothing that would keep me from renting this unit again. Thank you Greg!

Excellent complex and condo. Amazing views of Molokai and Lanai.. Stayed here for a week and explored the island. Definitely would come back and rent here again.
Time to head back to Manhattan. 😥

Aside from the expense (which was standard in Maui) the property was wonderful. A great first impression of Maui for my wife and I.

Is this the Ritz-Carlton? No. However, for anyone just needing a place to stay while 95% of your time is elsewhere on the island, this place has it all. Kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, cups, bowls, cooking items, etc. The washer/dryer was absolutely clutch and the bed was surprisingly very comfortable. The bottom floor allowed us quick access to the water and wonderful views. Check-in process was quick, easy and the location was near food, grocery, coffee shops and an ABC store. Would certainly stay again.
