We loved staying at Papakea! With a 1 year old we liked to walk out from the lanai onto the grass. The location is perfect! You can walk to the boardwalk, to many places to eat, and to the grocery store. Although there isn’t technically a beach at Papakea, one can walk a short ways either to the north or south for some nice beaches. We’d definitely stay at this unit again! We also liked this area because it was a little quieter than some of the busier parts of Kaanapali. Property management was quick to respond to our requests.
