The view from the patio was even better than we expected! We stayed here for our last two nights in Maui and boy, do we wish we could have stayed longer! Papakea Resort as a whole is so cozy and well maintained. Darlene's place is really clean and everything has been thought of! There were labels on everything, so that it was easy to find as a guest. We also appreciated the beach stuff that we could use, like bodyboards and chairs. The beach is not really a swimming beach, but beautiful to sit on the lawn and watch the sunset. We would recommend this spot to anyone!
