The grounds and location are delightful. The lodging is becoming worn and uncomfortable, however. Our bed mattress was over soft, air conditioning functional yet loud and precluded sleep, the bathroom was functional and clean yet outdated. While we have visited the Cove for over 30 years, this may be out last visit unless we can be assured the units are updated and as comfortable as the location is beautiful.

We have come here at least on 4 occasions and had a great time . On the most recent we were unfortunately sick for most of our vacation but it was still great . The clientele has changed since Covid Days and no pupu parties so we could meet others arriving . Maybe the time of year we came .December !

This was our second vacation experience at Honokeana Cove. We love the location, the natural beauty of the environment, other vacationers and Su and Betty at the management office.However, unit #115 property did not meet our expectations at all. Carpet was old and dirty. All furniture including the sofa bed is old and dirty. Window curtains are old and dirty. The bed in the bedroom is extremely uncomfortable. Both my wife and I had shoulder and back pain. We won't stay at unit #115 ever again.

We have been coming to the cove since I was a kid. It is a location and property like no other and we will continue or stays here. But they will not be in this particular unit until it is updated. Disappointing that the online photos were also not up-to-date and an accurately portrayal of what we could expect. Sofa bed frame was broken and I suspect the King bed frame broken as well (since I was told the mattress was only 6 months old but it had a severe dip). We slept upside down on the bed and my husband slept on the floor. The carpets were cringe-worthy. Drapes to the lanai were hard to move and the drape pulls were coming out of the wall. I had no problem with "dated" but this unit is bordering on "dilapidated." Kind of a bummer to spend thousands on a dream Hawaii vacay but not fully relax and enjoy because you can't relax and rest in a functional room.

We really enjoy the beauty of Honokeana Cove. It's a small complex. Love being able to go into the cove to snorkel and see turtles and fish. Our only disappointment was how worn the furniture was, carpets were dirty. Shower door was not attached at he bottom. I was concerned that it would fall. Su & Becky are wonderful.

If you’re looking for one of the best places to snorkel this is it! Very nice accommodations if you can get a booking! Units are clean and you can hear the sound of the waves from the living room. Most bedrooms are in the back of the units. This location does accept children so if you’re not open to having them run around outside then don’t consider this. Units vary in their decor as well, some are renovated and some are more basic. The office is great at helping answer any questions. Many nice restaurants in the area if you can get a reservation! . Mahalo!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cove. Our unit was nicely located with a wonderful view of the lawn, pool and cove. Comfortable bed, nice kitchen and great lanai for viewing whales and turtles. The only negative is the early morning road noise as the main road runs directly behind the complex. That would probably be the only reason we would hesitate to stay here again.

The location is perfect. Quiet, peaceful and great snorkeling. Love having meals on the lanai looking at the beautiful view.
The condo itself was below par for the price. Dirty dishes, rusty shower cabbie, dusty headboard, dirty comforter and shams. Just felt like they clean the surface and that is it. Super easy to make it nice for people, they should take the time to update the place as well.
Management asked for my check-out time two days before I landed in Hawaii. There are rules posted throughout the condo along w a paper of rules.

This ocean front location and unit would be hard to find at this price point. The lanai steps down to the grass area as pictured. It is steps from the pool and beach. Turtles beach themselves almost every day. I did snorkel and when the water is calm there is lots to see. I would not rent this unit in the summer as it does get a large amount of sun on the lanai. We were here in late November and the weather was perfect and we only had a few hours of sun daily. The unit itself was ok. The kitchen has been remodeled and is well stocked. The furnishings and the carpet need to be updated. The smart TV worked well. One of the bad things about the location was it wasn't very walking friendly. You could walk but there is quite a bit of street traffic. It was also somewhat noisy because of this but I didn't have any trouble sleeping. Overall I liked the location and did book a different unit for next November.

Unit 115 itself is a little run down and in need of an update, but overall, it's very nice and comfortable. Everything works, it's kitchen is well-stocked, and things are tidy and decent. The property is second to none. The staff is responsive and professional. We miss the Wednesday potluck, but totally understand the need to suspend due to covid. We also appreciate the covid safety protocols, including guests providing proof of vaccination. The amenities on the property are all fantastic, the BBQs very clean, great laundry facilities, and gorgeous grounds. The pool is also very nice and clean, the lawn chairs are excellent, and overall, the Cove is just the best place we've found on Maui!

Enjoyed our stay but would not come again in the summer. Didn't expect Hawaii to be so crowded this time of year. Traffic was so bad it discouraged travel, just to avoid a lot of time in the car. Did not appreciate the screaming baby above us. These are not the resort's fault, obviously. The cove is gorgeous and the grounds immaculate. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. We loved seeing the sea turtles everyday. I am I wimp and hate being cold, so found the pool to cold to enjoy the water much. However, I would consider staying again at a different time of year, that is possibly less busy. Office staff was very helpful.

Location location location. That’s what people sa in what’s important in finding a place and this one definitely delivered. Away from the touristy and fun but noisy crowds. Nice and quiet. Snorkeling is right outside the lanai, where you see the sunset at the end of the day. The unit is adequate. It is old with upgrades, nothing fancy or pretentious. Gives you a feeling of content living in paradise. Love this place. Definitely would go back.

We needed a heavenly place to unwind and it couldn't have been better. Calm, friendly, comfortable, real, the perfect anti-resort spot. The staff treated us like long lost family returning for a well deserved vacation. We prepared ourselves simple food in a well equipped kitchen, relaxed on our lanai or on the gorgeous grounds, and had primo snorkeling at our toe tips. Mahalo, Honokeana!

Most will agree that Honokeana Cove is a special place. The units set enclosed in a little well-kept Eden of green grass, pool, barbecue, with view and direct access to the Cove. Unit #115 is very nice with a sizeable living area, kitchen, bedroom, porch, and bath. That side of the complex backs up against the parking lot and road so it can get a little noisy. Though most morning I was woken by birds. We were there when it was very humid and we found that it was better to leave all the window vents and doors open instead of trying to close the bedroom up and use the air conditioner. It just did not seem to be cooling very quickly. Maybe it needs to be run all day. The kitchen is very nice and has a full set dishes, glasses, silverware, and utensils not to mention pots and pans. While there were also numerous cutting knives, we had to try them all out as most had dulled. We were happily surprised that a large deck container included beach chairs, boogie boards, and snorkel masks and fins. Snorkeling in the cove was pretty nice as we saw all kinds of fish and numerous turtles. There is also a path just next to the complex that allows one to walk along the water side up around the point to Napili beach ... and Kapalua beach if you so desired. But you might get side tracked with all the interesting tide pools. In the very small mall in Napili, there is not only the grocery store, but a great coffee shop and some clothing stores. Access south to Ka’anapali and Lahaina is very easy. Be careful if you want to go further south during the afternoon rush as the traffic gets very backed up. And pay attention to the Lahaina byway. In sum, we are so glad that we discovered Honokeana. If we come back to Maui, I am sure we will stay again.

Back to our home away from home in Hawaii. Although the weather was windy and wet and we didn't get to snorkel as much as usual, the R&R time was really appreciated. The condo had everything we needed and staff helped us find pillows that didn't kink our necks so that's a definite plus.

These are older units, but our unit was updated and well maintained. You don't get this experience in a big resort. The office staff were quick to respond and very effect at what they do. The grounds and pool was well maintained. We enjoyed watching the surf boarders many of whom came through the resort to come in from the ocean. A nice small community atmosphere and a spectacular view.

sparkling clean, all mod cons, and of course the most amazing view in the world! The Cove is exquisitely landscaped and perfectly maintained. sue was wonderful about getting us in on short notice and we were so happy to be back on Maui. One minor thing- the only blanket in the unit smelled powerfully of vomit. And one other issue about the Cove in general: LOTS of the pool...with glasses and bottles. Very loud and raucous, although got quieter after 10, we still were treated to loud, slurred soliloquies from the neighbors. If you want to party in paradise, this is the place!

This was the third time that we have stayed at the "Cove" and it didn't let us down. It is a little off the beaten track but perfect for us. The Co e has the best snorkeling around. The only problem being that as we get older access to the water is a little more difficult but still doable. We will come back for sure.

Especially thankful for gift certificate from the owners! Love Napili area.

My husband and I revisited Honokeana Cove because we came here on our honeymoon and enjoyed it back then. This time was even better. It's a GREAT snorkeling spot and everyone that stayed when we did was very friendly. The first 3 days we spend on our private lanai enjoying the awesome view. Can't get much better than this. If you've ever wanted to see sea turtles, well this is the spot! Immaculate landscaping! Good location! It does get a little noisy with street traffic if you stay in the street side units.
