This is a really great place. We have stayed at the Mana Kai several times over the past 20 years. It is the best sunset viewing location there is. So relaxing. Great beach access and swimming pool. The location just cant be beat.
As far as this individual unit goes, it has been upgraded very nicely and has a great upscale/modern appeal. It has a fantastic view of the ocean and beach, with a large lanai for sitting/eating, etc. The kitchen was very well stocked with a nice fridge, cooking hardware/utensils, good knives, and fabulous blender. The air conditioning is great when needed, even though you can usually just open the sliding doors and get a nice wind tunnel going instead (and hear the lapping waves). It also had some really nice extras — a beach umbrella and chair, as well as boogie boards. It made it very convenient because we didn’t want to spend the time and money buying that stuff for a week’s use, and we certainly were not going to haul it from the mainland. Very enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this place, except when I want to use it of course.
