The condo in Papakea resort is a wonderful option for staying in Lahaina in Maui. It is very well located near shops, restaurants, beaches, and activities. We traveled to the Road to Hana, Haleakala, Maui Ocean Center, Whaler's Village, Maui Tropical Plantation, and the Maui Ocean Center just to name a few spots! It all felt reasonable and doable, even with a toddler with us.
The place is very well stocked. We were surprised to see beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys, snorkel gear, pool noodles, boogie boards, and even a little cooler we could use. The place is very clean, with two bedrooms and a loft upstairs that is pretty well secluded for being in the open. In total we had five of us and it was very comfortable as our toddler got to sleep in his own room.
The condo is located on Papakea resort which has wonderful amenities. There are tennis courts, pickleball courts, a putting green (you can rent equipment from the front desk), as well as a pool, jacuzzi, and propane grills that can be used on a first come first serve basis. There's a nice covered area by the pool where we enjoyed a nice BBQ meal during sunset, and there's also a shuffleball court with supplies as well.
The condo has an amazing view of the pool and ocean, and there is a balcony to just lounge and sit, or if you want to be closer you can sit just off the seawall and relax and listen to waves. There is access to the beach as well, but we opted for other beaches in the area.
You won't regret booking this condo. We had a trip of a lifetime!
