My husband and I love Maui and we stay at Papakea for our visits. It is ideally located right on the ocean and the property is beautiful with ponds, palm trees and it is impeccably maintained. The condo we stayed at - G-307 - was perfect and had all the things we needed, including beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, snorkel masks, beach bags, and everything you could ever need in the kitchen. The owner was so prompt with communication and delightful as well.
We could see whales from the lanai and there is a beach walk round trip of 7 miles that I loved doing every morning. and my husband loved getting out for several rounds of golf. Kaanapali is 3 miles away for wonderful restaurants and Lahaina is just a little further for plentiful shops and more dining selections. The weather was incredible and we simply had the perfect vacation!
