We greatly enjoyed our stay at Hono Kai B8. The unit is exactly as described. Our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) had plenty of room. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beach chairs and boogie board. There were plenty of towels, etc. The only basic item we purchased was some extra toilet paper. The air conditioner did a good job taking the edge off the heat, which was helpful for us from the northern plains on the mainland.
The location is great. It is a fairly quiet area near the end of the road. You hear the ocean surf rather than the sound of cars. There is a public beach at the end of the road but it was not too busy. We loved the quiet location yet it was also very close to most things on the island (via car). We went east, west, and north for various day trips and visited the local establishments that are walkable like the general store, Tante's Fish Market, and Hula Cookies. Just a few minutes away is the Maui Tropical Plantation and the Cafe O'Lei Restaurant, which I recommend for breakfast (ube pancakes).
Great views of sunrises over Haleakalā. We enjoyed morning and evening walks along the beach to watch the sunrise/sunset. We also enjoyed watching sea turtles in the water from the lanai!
Kids enjoyed swimming in the ocean. A few days the surf was a little much for swimming, but then they relaxed in the pool. The resort has shower by the beach to rinse off sand before going back to the room. We also enjoyed using the outdoor grills for a few meals. There was even a few days where some papayas from the trees at the resort were left for guests.
Communication with I Go Maui was good. We had no problem checking in. We did have one small maintenance need during the stay and they had good communication and maintenance person was very efficient and did a good job.
If you are parking a car in the Hono Kai parking lot, make sure it is within the parking spot lines. The spots are very narrow and one evening we were a few inches over the line. We received a warning note from property manager to stay within the lines or next time we would receive a fine. Not a big deal, just giving future guests a heads up. We saw other cars with similar notes during our stay, so it wasn't just us.
