The location of the unit right on the beach and ground floor near the pool was ideal for our needs. We spent a great deal of time at the unit reading, etc and watching and listening to the surf. We spotted whales on some days not far out! The unit was in good shape and clean and Trinity Maid Service provided a good cleaning 1/2 way through our stay. Several good restaurants nearby, Roys, Gazebo and Dukes.
Best location I could have imagined, right on the water. Unit was clean, nicely decorated, and well appointed in the kitchen. The only possible negative was that the pool was too cold to swim in the evening.
Well appointed, great location, lots of space - would definately stay in this unit again. Papakea is a very well maintained property, we were very impressed! A couple of suggestions... the bedroom location against the main hallway is noisy - you can hear every conversation of people walking by when you are trying to sleep. Perhaps having additional floor fans or a/c in the bedrooms would allow you to keep windows closed to reduce this noise. Also didn't like the carpet in the livingroom, tile would be a better choice given the main level accessibility (grass, sand, etc). All in all though we loved the room and resort - wonderful stay - Mahalo!
WHAT A GREAT SAMPLE STAY ON A SAMPLE ISLAND AT THE SAMPLE PROPERTY. I SAMPLED MANY SAMPLE ITEMS.
Condo was in nice condition but it holds up to 10 people, but there was only seating for 4-6 in the dining area (not really a dining area. Table was in middle of living room. It was in the way of everything). The rules on the property are outrageous and over the top. They even told us to be quiet when we were sitting on the deck drinking coffee with my 85 year old in-laws. The list could go on and on. There are too many options on Maui and we will never return to the Papakea. We would not recommend this property at all. Also, no beach at all. It is on the top of a flood wall. Love Maui, but not the Papakea.
Best view of the famous Maui Rainbows!
Soooo close to the beach. We were actually swimming with the turtles, at a safe distance :) Filmed whales jumping as close as 300 yards away, dolphins, a seal right off our beach, and plenty of turtles (mating). Our room had everything we needed and if we ever get the opportunity to go to Maui again, this will be our first choice.
1. the size accommodated a family of 5 nicely. 2. excellent. We appreciated the day extension until our 11 PM flight. Both ladies that I spoke to while in Maui were very pleasant and accommodating! 3. Maui beaches! 4. Bubba Gump 5. our girls playing out in the ocean right in front of the condo 6. Maui is a great place to go to relax, watch whales and turtles from the lanai and meet new people. 7. enjoy-the other residents/guests are great 8. staying at Paki Maui 9. rent a car 10. discovering more beaches and going to Hana We had a wonderful time at the condo. It was nicely decorated and very clean. But the ants are still a problem. An exterminator was there on the 3rd and the ants were still in the kitchen on the 4th. Also the doorknob needs to be replaced. Please pass on these suggestions. We met so many wonderful people while staying at Paki Maui. It was such a great trip and I want to go back already!!
This condo was very clean, recently updated and quite comfortable. The tile floors made living with and cleaning up after children easy. :-) There was one day where cleaning service was provided - that was a bonus!!! Very much appreciated. I was not happy that I couldn't connect using wireless from my laptop - although there was a very long cord to plug in - wonderful! The location of Paki Maui was good for us - quiet, but lots to do for the kiddos. The market (Farmers Market health food store) just behind the coffee shop was terrific!! We thoroughly enjoyed shopping at the open air market 3 days a week also. Hearing the waves crash up on shore just outside our window was so calming. The pool, however, did not receive one lick of sun at all. The area for tanning did get some, but the kids were very cold in the pool. Being right next to a calm beach and playground was outstanding! I would try to stay in this location again - the only thing I would try to change would be to get a little closer to the water as we looked out over the top of the building next to the pool. Also, the parking was very difficult - the painted spots were far too narrow - there was room to park the car, but no room to open the door to actually get out. ??? We found ice cream and gelatos (sp?) just up the street at a restaurant near the Supermarket Times grocery store (don't remember name of restaurant, but you can't miss it - lots of people go there!). I might explore Lahaina more next time because it's so very close - really enjoyed the luau at the Westin hotel - fabulous!!! Would recommend that to everyone. Really enjoyed visiting Maui - hopefully will come back. :-) The Gage Family
