As owners at Papakea Resort in West Maui, we have witnessed the aftermath of devastation caused by the terrible fires in Lahaina of Aug 8, 2023. In addition to most of Lahaina's families losing their homes and Ohana, many have lost their jobs as a result of the reduction in tourism, as we respect the grieving community.

While most of Lahaina proper is closed to everyone, access to the surrounding West Maui communities of Honokawai (Papakea's location), Kaanapali, Kahana, Kapalua and Napili are easily accessible via the Highway 3000 bypass around Lahaina. Local businesses are struggling so we have lowered our December rates to accommodate accordingly.

Our unit is stocked with beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear, and golf putters - perfect for a couple or small family. PLEASE call us at (808)280-9753 for any clarifying questions about visiting West Maui at this time.

We have owned here since 2012 and have made many improvements to our unit, including new tile throughout, upgraded bathroom/shower, and new furniture.

This ground floor unit is uniquely situated to offer privacy with tropical landscaping and Koi pond directly outside our lanai, yet is only a stone's throw away from the putting area, pool, BBQ's, kabana, and a huge, grassy area near our sea wall to lounge and enjoy unobstructed views of the ocean and Molokai Island.

Enjoy a relaxing day from Papakea, with views of Sea Turtles year-round, and whales from Dec through April. The 'boardwalk' to the south provides access to over 2 miles; all the way to the famous Kaanapali resort area.

Papakea is a 4-story/low rise complex on 13 acres, beautifully landscaped with amazing tropical gardens and ponds. The resort amenities include 2 pools, 2 Jacuzzis, tennis and pickle ball courts, 2 shuffleboards, 2 putting greens, 12 gas barbecues, picnic areas, free WiFi Internet access.

Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for a great meal. We typically keep some seasonings, cooking oil, etc. There is a safe, iron/ironing board, washer and dryer. New LG 48-inch QLED TV in the living room, cable and free WiFi. Registration Number: TA-205-783-2448-01, 440010550077, GE-205-783-2448-01

We enjoyed our stay in the well-maintained complex with plenty of activities. The condo was perfect for our family. The unit was clean and nicely redone with everything we needed for our stay. The unit was within walking distance of restaurants, groceries, and shops. The pool was heated and the grounds were very well maintained with tennis courts, pickle ball, putting green, shuffleboard and snorkeling steps from the condo. The sunsets and the whale watching were spectacular. Great stay!

Our first time to Maui, so many things to do, the property was well kept, clean and comfortable. A short walk to the beach, pool, nearby restaurants. Nearby golf, snorkling and hikes. This is a group of buildings along the waterfront in a great area of the island. Hope to return again soon. I would book a second stay as my first preference. Parking lot is very tight and late night parking is challenging, most of the time we returned before nightfall.

Gregg was very responsive/helpful upon check in. The unit was beautifully updated, well furnished and the king bed was comfortable. The unit is conveniently located right next to the ABC store for grocery items and parking spots for the condo. We have stayed at a few different Units at Papakea and we would return to this again! Thank you for the stay!

This is my second time at Papakea Resort since I enjoyed the location and sunset views here. This time, I opted for ground level unit. This allowed us a backyard where we can just walk out and go to pool, ocean, and watch the sunsets. Pros: Location, very easy drive to many locations in West Maui like Lahaina, Kapalua, Napili, Kaanapali. Noise level is good. Neighbors are considerate and not terribly loud Ground level, nice outdoor table for brunch. Cons: Bugs There were 4 black moths during our first night, all came out of hiding from the plants and curtains. 3rd night, found a cockroach. Plants in vase were dead and dried up. Should be relaxed if you have new guests Sofa bed/futon was heavily used. Sunken in and hard to sleep in. This place was advertised for 4 people but it would be hard to have two adults sleep in this sofa Furnitures need to be dusted

Great location, about 10 min to downtown Lahaina, 3 min car (10 walking) to Kaanapali beach, 12 min to Napili Bay. Very charming apartment, nice decor. Steps to the ocean, literally less than one minute walking to see a beautiful view.

I absolutely loved our stay here. The property is beautiful! The ocean is steps away and the pool was nice too! Our condo was just perfect - no issues at all and they have beach chairs + other entertainment things for you to enjoy, if you choose. I'd definitely stay here again!

We love staying at Papakea. This is our first time in this unit. It was a bottom floor and that was even better. The unit was nice and clean. The kitchen could use some higher quality utensils, but who’s cooking? Well, me, but I overcame. We had a noise with the a/c but used earplugs and reported the issue to the owner. Nothing that would keep me from renting this unit again. Thank you Greg!

Excellent complex and condo. Amazing views of Molokai and Lanai.. Stayed here for a week and explored the island. Definitely would come back and rent here again. Time to head back to Manhattan. 😥

Aside from the expense (which was standard in Maui) the property was wonderful. A great first impression of Maui for my wife and I.

Is this the Ritz-Carlton? No. However, for anyone just needing a place to stay while 95% of your time is elsewhere on the island, this place has it all. Kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, cups, bowls, cooking items, etc. The washer/dryer was absolutely clutch and the bed was surprisingly very comfortable. The bottom floor allowed us quick access to the water and wonderful views. Check-in process was quick, easy and the location was near food, grocery, coffee shops and an ABC store. Would certainly stay again.

We enjoyed our stay here. The flat was just as described, and a very good value. The owners were kind and easy to communicate with. The complex is family-friendly, quiet and steps from the ocean. Supermarket, restaurants, food trucks, snorkel rental & urgent care are just across the street, so very useful when you are travelling with family. Whaler's village is about a 7 minute drive away if you want more action. Overall, we had a great stay and we really liked the location.

Everything was easy from start to finish. The Unit is in a great location on property and we enjoyed being on the first floor to access the grass outside the patio for the kids to run around. The pool is great and there is quick and easy beach access if you walk to the left of Papakea. The unit is well stocked, clean and comfortable! Thank you Greg and Debbie, we’ve never stayed in Lahaina, but would definitely come back!

We had a great time at Papakea. The apartment is nice and clean, the bed is very comfortable, the resort is gorgeous and the extra amenities like beach chairs and umbrella were a nice touch. Recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the west side of the island.
