Pros: The grounds at Papakea were well-kept and beautiful. The location was also great, just north of all of the Kaanapali resorts. This unit directly on the water was very relaxing because you could listen to the waves all day and night. We saw turtles every day. The unit was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Lots of beach gear available.
Cons: The unit is small and felt tight at times with 7 people. The loft is open air to the living room with no privacy. It is a tight space, but would be fine for kids. The bunk bed squeaks with every single movement. The AC unit does not work. Recommend keeping all windows open 24/7 and the temperature will remain around 78°. A window by the staircase is broken and will not stay open. The toilet in the master runs on and off. The keypad to access the unit is broken and required multiple calls to the host so we could access the unit. There was no soap in the bathrooms.
Overall, location is great, but the unit needs some TLC/maintenance.
