What a perfect location! I was a bit concerned when we booked this that there wouldn’t be a beach, but there actually is a small, almost private sandy beach at one end of the property. It was easy to get to and my kids had a blast playing in the little waves. The salt water pool was heated and awesome. The hot tub was huge and we all loved that too. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. Parking was easy. The condo itself was totally sufficient. I’m kind of a pan snob and I was impressed that they had a couple nice pans and the nonstick ones were not scratched at all. The only thing the place could use is a pot holder and a whisk. If you don’t plan to make pancakes or use the oven, you’ll be fine without those (or you can improvise like we did). The property manager was helpful and always responded in a timely manner. The Papakea Resort is an easy walk to “baby beach” and our favorite grocery store, Maui Farmer’s Market. I would definitely stay at this place again and I highly recommend it.
