The location of Papakea is quite ideal and the unit faced out to a fountain/pond area with the pool beyond closer to the ocean. There was plenty of room for my husband and me in the unit and we ate in about 60% of the time so the kitchen worked out well. The resort is within walking distance of the grocery store and a few other shops and we always found a parking spot after travelling out. Parking was free which was a bonus. The concierge in the front office was most helpful in recommending and booking our excursions.
