Papakea Resort was great! It's within walking distance of a grocery store, food truck park, and tons of restaurants. The grounds were cleaned every morning and we took full advantage of the hot tub, pool, and grilles. There isn't a beach front in the resort, but you have access to a beach on a pathway that takes you to a nearby resort if you want. Plus, there are plenty of great beaches within a 5-10 minute drive.
We had 9 adults in our party, and the place felt big enough for all of us to move around comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, but all of the knives are pretty dull so be aware of that if you're planning to do a lot of cooking. Also, the disposal seemed to smell after use, but a little baking soda and vinegar down the drain helped with that.
I would definitely come back to this resort for my next visit to Maui. The staff were helpful and My Perfect Stays reached out multiple times during our visit to be sure we had everything we needed.
