Papakea is a beautiful resort. There are lots of amenities including pools, hot tubs, grills in the pool area and putting greens. We did not utilize most of these but they looked nice.
The unit is nicely updated, decorated and well equipped with a beautiful view from the lanai.
Included in the unit were:
-Washer/ dryer including pods
-Beach towels
-Boggie boards(one was broken)
-Beach chairs
-Cooler
-Snorkel equipment but no mask
Other pros:
-Easy stroll to the ocean w nice sunset views. The property is oceanfront, not beachfront but access to the beach is close
-Walking distance to a grocery store, snorkel rental, a few restaurants and a food truck park
-There's book with recommendations of nearby beaches and places to eat that was helpful
Cons:
-The book with recommendations also details instructions for you at check out. I find it annoying that you have to take out the trash since there's a pretty decent cleaning fee associated with the rental. I've never left any place I've rented a mess but I've also never had to take out the trash.
-There's also a $17/day resort fee for parking a vehicle(this was disclosed in the description of the property)
-Could use a broom since floors were a little sandy when we arrived plus would help with cleanup.
-There's a vacuum in the unit but it wasn't very helpful in picking up sand.
-Parking spaces are a bit tight, esp if you have a larger vehicle like an SUV
Overall we loved the unit/ property and would love to visit again. Thanks for sharing your place with us for a great vacation
