Really enjoyed our stay at the Papakea! The check in process was very simple... just like checking into a hotel. I recommend taking advantage of the free continental breakfast... it's put on by the concierge and provides a great overview of Maui and some of the things to do around the island. It was convenient having a washer/dryer in the unit. Loved staying right at the beach with a nice view from the balcony. We were out and about every day and didn't take advantage of the pools or hottubs... but they looked really nice. This was a great affordable place to stay on the beach in a convenient location not too far from Lahaina.
