We enjoyed our stay at this unit in the Papakea Resort. The unit itself is nothing fancy but the bed was comfortable, AC works well, water pressure in the showers is great, the kitchen is well equipped, and the living area was comfortable. There is actually a nice view from the lanai - it overlooks the Koi pond but you do get a good view of the ocean in the distance.
The property has a nice pool and hot tub which never got too crowded during our stay (although there are no umbrellas so it’s tough to hang out during the day). We spent our time by the water on a lounger in the shadow of a palm tree. There are 6 BBQs around the pool and a nice dining area. We never cooked but it looked like a great set up. The food truck park is a 5 min walk, and it’s also a short 3-5 min walk to a couple of good coffee places in the morning. There is no beach at the property itself but there are options that are walkable. We didn’t end up using the beach chairs. A beach umbrella would be a nice addition - we assumed they may be available for rental at some places nearby, but we didn’t investigate.
We walked over to a couple of other properties nearby - compared to Ka’anapali Beach club this property has a smaller pool area and looks less hotel-like, but we actually preferred the vibe at Papakea. Overall, a very relaxing stay and a good base of operations to explore the Northwest of the island.
