This is a cozy condo with stunning ocean views in a beautiful garden-filled resort with big trees providing a well-shaded parking lot. We were able to see turtles, whales and a Hawaiian Monk seal right from our balcony!
The resort is also home to several Community Cats who they care for - we not only loved this from a humanitarian perspective - but the cats were clearly fed very well, and were healthy. This makes us much more likely to support the Papakea resort in the future and come back.
In addition to caring for the other living beings on the property - when the ocean "ate" my wedding ring (which was my Grandmother's wedding ring), the front desk was able to get me in contact with Metal Detector Dave (https://lostringmaui.com/) who was able to successfully recover my ring for me!! I was elated!!
This is a maximum heads-in-beds space; but the room that doesn't have privacy does have not only it's own bathroom but if you leave the screen door open you get to hear and smell the ocean all night long and sleep the best sleep you've ever had. With such a lovely resort and island it would be a shame to spend the vacation indoors! We enjoyed using the BBQs at the pool, as well as shuffleboard and pickleball and sitting on the ocean directly in front of the condo.
