Wow! Simply breathtaking accommodation. Being able to see the ocean from the kitchen, enjoying meals on the lanai, the surprisingly comfortable Murphy bed, the pool and hot tub with the community grills, everything was spectacular.
The resort was within walking distance of markets, coffee, beaches, and a food truck area. Also, a bar at the neighboring resort!
The security at Papakea is top notch, so no one will be sneaking into the pools that don’t belong on the property.
The room does not come with shampoo, conditioner, or body wash so be sure to bring your own or purchase it there. Also it says there is a bag of coffee, but it’s really only enough for a single serve. There were a few spices and salt in the kitchen, so make sure to stop at Whole Foods when you land if you plan on eating there for any amount of time. The kitchen is fantastically stocked with equipment and the dishwasher and washer/dryer were godsends.
I seriously hope this room will be available for our next trip to Maui, we could not have been happier!
