Papakea #D402

This is a very nice unit for the money. We have stayed at Papakea many, many times, although this was our first through Chase 'N Rainbows. We are very impressed with your service as well as your rental property. Thank you... We will definitely be booking through you again next year.

Very nice condo. It was clean and well kept up. Over all really a great place and view was better that expected.

This was a great place and would definitely consider it again. Close to ocean and I took pictures of whales from balcony.

Had a wonderful stay...great location, service, easy check in/out. Loved key pad for door. Papakea was a great resort, clean, well kept, quiet, and the direction of the buildings provided a great view without the heat... already planning our next visit.

We LOVED the view and koi pond, the fountain right below our window, the grill, pool, spa and the condo was perfect for the 6 of us. Hope to come back again. The grounds were fantastic!! Hope to return someday. Thank you for the condo, it had everything we needed.

We figured this would possibly be the last family vacation we would be able to take. Our son will be graduating from college and our twin girls just graduated high school and will be entering college. So we took them to Maui, HI for their graduation gift. I planned this vacation for a year and have no complaints what so ever. Our condo was exactly what we ordered and needed. It was perfect size for the 6 of us. The 2 separate bedrooms are on opposite ends of the condo so there is privacy. And the upstairs loft with 2 twin beds and a 1/2 bath was perfect for our girls. Coming from MO where is gets hot and humid we were concerned about being too hot at night. The living room air conditioner kept the entire condo comfortable. The kitchen was adequately stocked with whatever we needed. Washer and dryer are apartment size but was very handy to keep clothes washed. I was pleasantly surprised with the water pressure in the master shower, normally they trickle out but this one put my house shower to shame. The balcony was such an inviting place to sip early morning coffee or even take a short nap. The grounds of the resort was absolutely beautiful, very well maintained with lush plants, fish ponds, palm trees and numerous flowers. Our family really enjoyed having play offs on the shuffleboard. The resort faces the west so we would sit out on the lawn by the ocean and watch the sunset, amazing pictures. A really quiet peaceful place to stay. Although there is a seawall the steps down to the beach are just to the right of the lawn and you can walk either direction on the beach. We really liked that there were 2 separate reefs, first about 20' out from shore knee deep water and then the next 40' out further waist to 5' deep. This made all of us feel a little safer and we did not have to worry about the under current. Get a snorkel set right behind the resort on Lower road your first day, the fish by the reefs are plentiful. We also rented a paddle board and gave it a try. If you want to find shells get to the beach before 6 or the tide starts coming in. Bring water shoes. We felt the location was perfect for us. We could walk up and down the street either direction to local shops and beaches, fruit market, restaurants and such, but the area was quite and not a high tourist area. Be sure to check out the craft fair at the hotel next door on Thursday mornings, lots of need local items. And the swap meet at the Civic center just a couple miles towards Lahaina on left, only on certain Sundays I believe. Also there is a very large swap meet up by the airport on Saturday mornings, 50 cents to get in and most of the keepsakes you see in every other store at a lot better price. Google swap meet in Kahului, HI and it will tell you right where it's at. We done a lot while there, so if you need any advise please feel free to ask. We got our activity tickets from Nathan down off of front street going south past Bubba Gum, turn left on a one way street where it says parking. Great guy, lots of help, even gave us his cell so we could add tickets later. We absolutely loved everything about this vacation and of course didn't want to come home. Just a note about those that say the condo is outdated. For a rental unit we thought it was very nice, clean, adequate and a great price. If you want new everything go somewhere else and pay for it. Thanks so much,Tthe Collins Family

A most enjoyable stay at the resort. The guest suite was top notch with an excellent view of the ocean/beaches and the courtyard. It has no doubt been painstakingly maintained over the years.  An 8.5 out of 10 !!!!!

Love our stay here. The staff was always pleasant and friendly. The grounds are very well maintained . We put the BBQ's to good use, as with everything else needs they were well maintained. We were informed, months in advance, of the work on the sea wall. That was of minimal inconvenience. I won't hesitate to stay here again, and again.

My wife and I had 5 nights alone, then we were joined by one of our daughters with her husband and two toddler children and another daughter with her husband. Plenty of room for all. Our daughters and their families stayed for 10 nights. We closed with two more nights with just the two of us Great trip. The condo has plenty of room for the whole family and a great view. The grounds are very well maintained. We regularly had dinner at the complex, typically using the BBQ's by the pool. This is out fourth time staying in this unit. We're looking forward to our next trip. (note: this condo allows a maximum of 6 people)

We had a wonderful time in our condo. It slept 5 of us very comfortably. The condo was well maintained, clean and the kitchen had everything needed to cook some meals in. We had a great time!
