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.

Unit was perfect for us. Joe is one of the most in-touch and helpful hosts we've 3ever dealt with. We've stayed and Honua Kai three times now and this one has been the best. Thank you!

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!

Great condo, it had all the amenities that I needed for a great stay and the pool was great. Only thing, be careful with the lava rocks on the edge of the pool. I accidentally scrapped my foot (ouch). All in all, I would highly recommend booking. Dukes restaurant was awesome and the mai tais were great!

Hula Hideaway was the perfect place for our stay in Maui! The property was clean and well maintained. It offered everything we needed for days at the resort and day trips to local beaches. Everything was seamless from start to finish. We really appreciated the late check out option as our flight didn't leave until late evening. We were able to enjoy a full day of beach and pool before we left. And we went home with suitcases full of clean clothes thanks to a washer and dryer in the unit. We would highly recommend this property and location!

Just came back from the most perfect stay in Maui. Bruno is the best! Called us right after the booking to welcome us and give us information about the property. He was so kind giving us tips and answering all our questions. The condo was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals-spices, containers, tinfoil. The view from the balcony is just to die for! Our stay was everything I could ask for and more. Highly recommended!

This place was amazing! From the room to all the amenities. Everything you need is conveniently located stores, restaurants, beaches etc. What we really loved about this place was that no matter where you went on the resort it didn’t feel crowded at all. When getting away specially to Hawaii we always try to stay somewhere that it is not too crowded and I can genuinely say that this place tops all of them. 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for the perfect spot in Lahaina/Maui.

We loved Bob’s condo. The location is central to everything in NW Maui. We enjoyed the walking path along the ocean for morning jogs and the convenience of having Times grocery store across the street. It’s great to have all the resort amenities like sundries shop, gym, on-site restaurant, poolside food and beverage service and rentable cabanas. The beach is lovely and fairly protected from waves. The snorkeling is pretty good and we saw sea turtles every day. The condo is well equipped with everything you need to cook and we loved having the shared bbqs to make dinner in the evenings while watching the sunset. The one thing I wasn’t crazy about was the patio overlooked the beach public access parking lot and on several occasions we woke up to vagrants roaming around in the lot, local police and fights. Not sure if this is a regular thing or just our bd luck while we were there.

This was our first visit to Maui, and we traveled with my wife, our 16-year-old son, our 3-year-old son, and my mother. I asked the manager for any recommendations they may have. He sent a very detailed email with multiple suggestions and ideas. The view of the mountain side is surprisingly underrated, and the view of the water can’t get much better. Clearest water I have ever seen was immediately in front of the property. Parking was consistently convenient. Overall, it was an amazing trip—10/10. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you for making our stay at this woso memorable for our family.

Our group of 3 adults and 3 children loved our stay in this apartment. The location is absolutely stunning, as is the space itself. The ground floor was perfect for our 1.5 year olds - and a wonderful compromise, with a spectacular view, easy accessibility, and no hassle of a balcony. The underground parking onsite made it easy to take day trips to other parts of the island. We could have spent all our time at Honua Kai though! The pools, beach, dining were all outstanding.

We had a very positive experience. The unit is large and very comfortable. The location is fantastic. Parking was easy. The in unit washer and dryer were a life saver. Beach and pool access are extremely convenient from the unit (and the beach and pools on the property are great). There is a restaurant and a small convenience store on the property - we utilized both during our stay - and there are also markets, stores and other restaurants very close by. I spent a lot of time considering numerous options before booking this property for our family’s vacation and I really feel like we received tremendous value by staying here. Additionally, both the owner of the property and the property manager could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We unexpectedly had to change our flight into Maui to arrive much earlier than initially expected and both the owner and the property manager accommodated an early check in (at the last minute) for us. Similarly, on the day of our departure, they allowed us to remain in the unit until mid afternoon as our flight wasn’t leaving until after 7pm. We were traveling with our 4yo son, so both the early check in and the late check out made a huge difference for us in terms of allowing our son a place to comfortably nap and eat before/after a long day of travel. We really can’t thank the property owner and manager enough! We will definitely be back!

Here for a week celebrating my friends getting married. Lovely condo, great communication with Joe! Loved the cooler and boogie boards provided. Kitchen was basic so you’ll need things like sugar, salt and pepper, oil for frying, zip lock baggies, foil etc. loved that we were able to grill down by the pool! Had a fantastic time and would stay here again

We loved the condo's location...right above one of the pools and Duke's. Easy elevator access. Condo was equipped with all the supplies and gadgets you need. Owners were very responsive if we needed anything or had questions. It was a great place for our family vacation to Maui.

We love to stay at Honua Kai Resort. This unit was no disappointment and lived up to the listing. The view of the ocean from the lanai was spectacular. The room itself offers everything you need while on vacation. The owner of the unit Randy of Maui Nuts is easy to work with. When we return to Maui I'll be looking to rent this condo again.

Superbly appointed condo for a beach vacation. The host provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Beach chairs, cooler, all kitchen items (including coffee for our first morning), laundry, and full size toiletries. We were comfortable sleeping 3 friends and the bathroom is large for getting ready to go out. Resort and beach were nicely maintained. Great snorkeling right in front of the resort. Bruno is an excellent host and frequently checked on us to see if we needed anything via text.Thank you for sharing your wonderful condo!

We had the most spectacular time at this property. We stayed 5 nights and wish we could have extended it for another 5. The large lanai and the pool just steps from the condo were fantastic play areas for our three small kids, and the beach and larger pools were just a short walk away. The place is so well equipped, particularly the kitchen (better than any rental I've ever seen). The hospitality of the owners was also top notch. We can't wait to come back next year!

Our family of four recently came back from our stay at this property, and we loved it. The owner/property managers were extremely responsive and accommodating. They immediately responded to questions, and they checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. It was so nice to work with them instead of a property management company.
The condo was very clean, well taken care of, and completely stocked. The condo’s location was great too. Beautiful partial ocean view from the family room/lanai and short walk to the pool and Duke’s restaurant at the Honua Kai. We would not hesitate to stay here again and look forward to coming back.

The property was beautiful, and the condo was exactly as was listed. Fun pools, nice workout facility, underground parking, and right on the water with ocean views. Would definitely stay here again.
The check in process was so easy. Any question that I had I received a response within 15 minutes. We even had a tropical storm that came through and Maui rentals communicated with us before during and after the storm to make sure everything is OK.

This property was a great location for our family, 2 adults and 2 toddlers. It was close to the elevators, but not at all noisy. Very spacious and the kids loved running around. Balcony was large with a great view of the ocean and perfect for our morning coffee and breakfast. The full kitchen made it easy to cook meals and reheat leftovers. Both bathrooms had full showers and bathtubs and made cleaning up, especially with kids, easy. Proximity to pools and beach was amazing and easy to get back to the rooms if we forgot something. The resort is beautiful and in a perfect location. Our family loved our stay and would 100% book again and recommend to family/friends.

Beautiful Condo and excellent staff. Considering the cost we felt it everything should have been on point. Some maintenance had not been done on the unit prior to our arrival to fix obviously broken cabinets (falling off) & towel rack hanging on one side in main bath. Also, an inventory of the kitchen is needed to support future stays. We felt we did not receive enough paper good to support our stay and number of guests. Exp: 2 rolls of paper towels and 2 garbage bags for 7 nights/7 guests was inadequate. Other than that we were happy with comfort of unit and quality of resort overall.

My partner and I travelled to Maui for our 8 year anniversary, or so she thought. I proposed 2 days into our trip so it turned into our engagement celebration. Everything about this property was awesome! The pools and jacuzzis were great, and they provide towels. The beach directly in front of the property was gorgeous and never crowded, The snorkeling was out of this world! We saw a turtle everyday when we snorkeled. Overall 10/10 experience. Cannot wait to come back in the future!

The Honua Kai property is a great location & Unit 637 is a great studio with balcony. Both the studio & balcony provide ample room for 2 people. The entire balcony and room does not offer a 100% unobstructed ocean view but a solid partial view. The unit is super clean & quiet. It had everything in the kitchen we needed for our basic meal prep. We used the washer & dryer as well. Quite a few more kids and children on property than I remember which may be a pro or con.
Huge bonus having Duke’s on property as well. Their food and service has definitely stepped up over the last 2 years. Love the VRBO option all the while having every amenity of a resort.

Condo was as advertised as clean. Thought the partial ocean view would be a bit of a downside but the mountain views with the constant rainbows was super cool and the focal points of our morning coffees on the lanai.
Resort was beyond expectations. Pool area and beach awesome and perfect for families. Great service at all junctures. Unit comes stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards and toys.
Highly recommended and would stay again in a heart beat.

We had a wonderful time at the condo, everything was clean and very accommodating to our party of 7. The common areas like the Lanai, dinning areas, and living room had plenty of seating for all, and was pleasing to the eye. It was also nice to have a bedroom to have some quiet time. The surrounding area was beautiful and lush, and the pool was great to swim in. I really liked that we were close to the resort entrance so we could enjoy the beach and all the resort pools. I would definitely stay here in the future.
