Look no further--this condo has everything you could want. I researched a LOT of condos for our trip, and there's a reason this one was top of my list. It's obvious that Jill, the owner, knows exactly what's important to guests on vacation, and she really delivered! Jill's communication was exceptional as well. Any questions we had, she responded immediately.
First of all, this condo is beautiful; all of the upgrades are lovely and modern. It's located on the top floor corner, so in addition to a wall of windows facing the Pacific Ocean, it also has a wall of windows facing south, making the condo feel very spacious and light. The large vaulted ceilings contribute to that spacious feeling. This is something you are not going to get on lower, middle units.
This is IMPORTANT: the air-conditioning is new and works beautifully!! In addition to air-conditioning, each room came with ceiling fans, a real plus.

The condo is very well equipped with extras like beach towels, boogie boards, noodles, beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, and even a cooler! So if you want to hit the beach, you are ready to go! When you want to relax at night, there are TVs in the front room, the primary bedroom, and the loft as well.
The kitchen is well stocked and even came with an Instapot, coffee maker, and a Keurig. And if you want to BBQ the condo has everything you need.
As for the beds, they were SO comfortable! Let's face it, a bed can either make or break your vacation, and we were all thrilled with how comfy they were!
I was initially concerned about only one bathroom for five adults, but it ended up being no problem at all.
Let me also add that the view is spectacular! The lanai faces the gorgeous Pacific Ocean and Molokai; hard to go wrong there, and in the foreground are beautiful palm trees, lush tropical gardens, koi ponds, and the tiki torches which are lit every night.
I must say how impressed we were by the Papakea staff, all of whom were extremely courteous and professional. Every morning the groundskeeping crew was busy cleaning the pools, meticulously trimming the putting green, and sweeping up leaves, so everything was picture perfect.
One of the things we loved about our stay at the Papakea was how laid back the vibe was. We noticed other resorts were packed with people jockeying for chairs around the pool, but we never had to worry about overcrowding. There are two pools and hot tubs, so lots of room and also plenty of loungers on the grass facing the ocean. We played shuffleboard almost daily and enjoyed playing pickleball on the pickleball courts.
We will definitely return to this lovely condo at the Papakea in the future. Thank you for a great experience, Jill!
