It was absolutely beautiful and our stay there was awesome. Great location!

We had talked about and planned to go to Hawaii for at least 10 years. Finally the time seemed right to go after losing both of my parents and both of our papillon dogs in less than a year. We needed something positive to look forward to and enjoy. Our stay at Randy and Mary's condo in Maui didn't disappoint. They were very helpful and informative which was much appreciated. The condo is beautiful and very comfortable. We felt right at home. The view from the lanai is amazing. We enjoyed watching the sunset on several evenings. I highly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed. I hope that we get the chance to go back. We would definitely stay here again.

We were here for 10 days, it is a beautiful property. We celebrated our 40th anniversary here. The room is very nice the view of the ocean is fantastic with a view of the property then the ocean. You can see the ocean from the king sized bed! Dukes restaurant is quite frankly one of the best on the island.

We had a great stay. The condo is well equipped with all the necessities. The location is perfect. We had a view of the ocean and the mountains. Rainbows every evening. The beach and pool are top notch. We saw the beautiful sunsets every evening. The grocery stores and food truck malls are within walking distance. We are home cooked meals, food trucks, Dukes and at Whaler village. We got yummy cinnamon rolls at Papi Hana’s. Kaanapali and Honua Kai thanks for showing us a great time

The unit was very well located. We were close to restaurants and shopping. Our hosts left coffee and cookies for us which was a lovely welcome. The unit was immaculate and our host was accessible and answered all our questions both before and during our visit.

Great location and great view. The resort is really nice with lots of food within walking. Store onsite is also nice. We really liked it. Condo had everything you would need. The only thing we did not like is out of the owners control and did not directly affect us in any way. The public restroom below had many vagrants.

Everything was just as described. Gorgeous property, very clean unit and everything you need in the kitchen. Loved the welcome binder on coffee table that outlines the do and don'ts (not many of those). Along with local restaurants, beaches, and sightseeing opportunities around the area. I will definitely share this info with others. Great place to stay on Maui!

Location and amenities were spot on. We were completely comfortable and enjoyed the space. The unit came with all of the necessary kitchen, cleaning, and beach items (except beach umbrellas). We were very happy and want to return next year. Thank you.

September 2024

Very clean, beautiful resort, plenty of extras in room (air beds, beach chairs, cooler, etc). Owner was very responsive throughout process. 10th floor offered great views of the valley!

September 2024

Overall was a great stay! But definitely had some hiccups along the way… checking in and the room is even better than advertised, but unfortunately we felt like our privacy was invaded a bit on the third night. Around 9:45 pm the cleaning crew came into our room completely unannounced while we were sleeping, and it’s safe to say after that we were not super pleased. Other then that this is a great location!

We are family of four with 2 young kids. This condo was perfect for us. It was near the pool and beach was 2 min walk from it. It’s on the ground floor. The property manager was very nice and quick in responding to the messages. Only thing I recommend to the onwer is to have another mirror in the condo. The only mirror is in the bathroom. If you are more than 2 adults, you will need to wait for your turn to get ready. Otherwise, this place is amazing. would definitely stay here again.

Our hosts were excellent and did way more for our comfort than many VRBO host do from the immaculate studio to the beach to the visited recommended sights and activities and food to the Aloha spirit. This is a top rated place!

Nice, clean condo.....enjoyed the grounds, restaurant and amenities, but spent most the time on the beach or in the ocean!

This location is the perfect spot in Lahaina to stay. Check in is a breeze. Pull up to the front doors, and the team will meet you, grab your bags, and have you in your room in less than 10 minutes. Parking is a breeze. We were never more than 5 spots away from the elevators. The room was spacious for 2 people, and came with everything you need to be comfortable for a long stay. The room was exactly as described. If I had a single complaint, I would say it was figuring out the setting on the dryer. It's a little tricky. Turn it to bulk, otherwise you'll have to dry things multiple times. Otherwise the room was perfect. The hotel grounds are a quick 2 minute walk to the beach or the pools. Duke's is a cool spot to hang out, but can get crowded very quickly, so you sometimes have a hard time finding a spot at the bar for cocktails, and towards the evening, the tables will be full, but they will accommodate for that by giving you to-go cups so you are never without a cocktail. The staff at Dukes is very laid back and cool. The resort is within walking distance of food trucks, and a very cool coffee shop, bar, nightclub called Java Jazz. Take the walk and check that place out. Overall, if I ever come back to Lahaina, the Honua Kai is the spot for me.

Our vacation was overall great I wish the unit had come with a beach umbrella to go along with the chairs. It was nice having all the amenities with the pool , towel locker and dukes . Only down side was how many cockroaches we found in the room which stressed me out with having a 5month old and roaches on the counter where I sterilize bottles .

Room was spacious and nicely decorated with a bedroom, huge bath and living/kitchen area. Easy check-in with the bell desk - friendly and helpful staff. Easy access to pool towels using the automated pool area dispensers. And of course, having Duke’s onsite is great.

I had a wonderful four-day stay at Chris's condo. Among the various accommodations at Honua Kai, we chose a corner room for its spacious balcony, where we enjoyed simple breakfasts every morning. Despite the condo's large size, it was not crowded and remained quiet. Most importantly, I appreciated that it was a relatively new building in Maui. Chris was very responsive and detailed in answering our inquiries before booking, and during our stay, he cared for us attentively as if he were nearby. Unfortunately, due to an additional person joining our group later, we had to move to a three-bedroom accommodation. If the group size had remained the same, I would have spent all ten days here. It's a wonderful place to experience the warmth and comfort of Maui.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 20th anniversary and this place was beautiful both the unit and the resort. They supplied everything you needed and the room was very clean and well kept. I would absolutely stay here again. I especially appreciate being able to use the beach chairs and the cooler. Thank you

We had a lovely stay in this comfortable, well-appointed unit in a beautiful property. The communication from the host was excellent. This unit was quiet and protected from the wind. There is good swimming and incredible snorkeling in front of the northernmost Westin building just next door! We also enjoyed the food truck park a short walk away.

Bruno was absolutely amazing!! From the moment I booked- Bruno contacted me and gave me recommendations for our stay.upon arriving early -Bruno allowed us to check in immediately!! I was so thankful!! The condo had everything we needed for our stay at the resort. We had a beautiful view of the grounds and ocean. The kitchen was stocked - coffee each morning and we cooked twice. - he suggested we eat At Dukes on the beach. We ate 3 different times!! It was so convenient and the tuna steak and pie our favorites!!! It was only a 2 mile walk to the whaler shops which we loved. On the way back- we watched the black rock ceremony- lighting of the torches. All these memories were Bruno’s suggestions!!! The resort staff were very friendly and the amenities were incredible!!! We spent our plane ride already trying to book again.

The Host! Very knowledgeable and responsive, even on things that outside her area, like ground transportation, dining and entertainment! She's great! The unit was immaculate, convenient to the pools and the beach. The grounds are beautiful. Everything is well maintained. BBQs were clean, not over crowded, and worked first try! The unit is central to grocery shopping! We are in most nights. Breakfast and Dinner on the lanai was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The views are stunning. We enjoyed everything about this experience!

I think I already submitted another review here — but just in case: We loved everything about this resort & the unit itself. We had toggled with the idea of staying at a “full service resort” like the Westin, but it turns out this resort at the Honua Kai has all that and more — several pools, poolside service, fancy drinks, full service restaurant, a market on site , easily accessible to other resorts / Whalers Village, but also peaceful & relaxing and not overcrowded! We loved it! The unit itself was spotless, had a great view, full kitchen & everything we needed — we loved playing cards & games on the lanai most evenings & watching the sunset … the property manager was responsive & helpful (although we really didn’t need them because everything was already dialed in and self explanatory). Kind, pleasant valet staff at the property , too! We Will definitely be back!!! 😊

The suite is fantastic. Amazing location and view. You can easily see why the 09 suites are coveted. The suite is spacious and bright and being able to sit on the sofa and still see the ocean is great. This was our second time staying at Honua Kai, but first in approx 10 years. The property is still great, but there are a few signs of wear and tear that need to be addressed, such as tiles falling off from the walls of the two main hot tubs. Overall a terrific stay.

We had a wonderful time at Kenneth's place, the house was well stocked, clean, had gorgeous view of the mountains and lovely pool facilities. We enjoyed the beach access and onsite restaurant a few times. It was a very relaxing stay. Mahalo!
