Owner's Map of Honua Kai
Hi, thank you for taking the time to read our webpage. My wife and I, along with our four kids, live in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. I work at a hospital near us, and my wife, Kristine, takes care of the household. Kristine is Hawaiian, and when we go back to visit family, we usually stay at a hotel. We normally visit Maui twice a year, and since we have outgrown hotel rooms, it just made sense to buy a condo with great amenities so that we feel like we ARE on vacation. We take a lot of pride in keeping our Honua Kai condo perfect and our guests happy. Our condo is filled with amenities to make sure that you are comfortable, and will happily do everything we can to accomodate your needs.

Honua Kai is the newest resort in the Ka-anapali region. It's a fantastic location. From the balcony we could see whales jumping every morning. The accommodations are brand new. The kitchen is fantastic, the bathroom is very large with a shower and tub. Having the store downstairs is really handy - and the quality of the food is superb. My daughters loved getting gelato and pastries on a daily basis. The washer/dryer were a godsend. The resort is not overcrowded as some of the others in the area are. The beach is beautiful - and, although my wife argues otherwise, I know I could snorkel out to the whales. Beautiful sunsets, rainbows, and perfect weather. We felt that we got 5-star accommodations at a very affordable price. We looked at all the other resorts, both online and with VRBO. This is the best. We plan to stay here again on our future trips to Maui. Would highly recommend.

We recently stayed at this Honua Kai unit, and we were not disappointed! It looked just like the pictures and the view of the ocean was great (we spent a lot of time drinking Mai Tais from Duke's on the lanai)! The unit was very quiet and clean upon arrival and even had some nice extra touches such as flowers placed around the room and literature about Maui. The resort is wonderful- modern decor, great location, friendly staff, beautifully landscaped, good restaurants on location (Duke's and Aina Gourmet Market for our morning smoothie and lattes), large pools, and kid friendly. A little tip- the snorkeling right in front of Honua Kai/Duke's was fantastic. You can rent snorkel gear for cheap near the pool. The drop off is great and we saw many colorful fish, coral, and even an eel... very cool! Louis and Kristine the owners made sure we felt at home since we were traveling with a small child. They left us plastic dinnerware, a booster seat, DVD's, pack and play, air mattress, beach chairs, and many other useful items so that we did not need to stress about packing them. Louis and Kristine were very responsive once we booked their unit and we would definitely stay at this condo unit again because we had a wonderful experience!

This was a beautiful condo and resort. The location was great, as was Duke's restaurant and the amazing beach walkway. It was perfect for morning and evening strolls. My children loved the pools. I cannot thank the Trinh's enough for their assistance and advice. They were so much better than any travel agent.

Being our second trip to the Hawaiian Islands, and our first family vacation with our 4 year old son, the Honua Kai proved to be a great family resort with a touch of luxury in a great location on Kaanapali beach. The condo was exactly what we expected: brand new, well kept with all amenities of a home. The washer and drier in the room were a plus from the hotel amenities, the well equipped kitchen and the grills outside allowed for great grilling with a beautiful sunset, and the separate bedroom allowed us to keep our son on a sleeping schedule while we enjoyed the privacy of having a separate room with a large lanai. The resort grounds are welled manicured, the variety of pools for adults and children provided excellent entertainment for our son as well as a place to relax under the sun when we wanted to take a break from the sandy beach. The Duke restaurant on the property offered pool side service, and was a great alternative for breakfast, lunch and dinner and its location allowed beautiful sunsets. The Hula Pie, and Ahi tuna were excellent! The Aina gourmet market located inside the resort made it easy for quick purchases of fresh snacks and coffee, and other personal last minute items. The resort in general is part of a great master planned community on North Kaanapali beach and it is still walking distance to the Black Rock and Whalers Village but yet secluded from all the touristic traffic. The side walk that connects this resort all the way back to the Whalers Village allowed me to enjoy my morning jogs with a beautiful beach to my side. Thanks again to Louis and his family for all the great recommendations on sight seeing and entertainment activities and for allowing us to share their home in Maui! Aloha and Mahalo!

Thank You Louis and Kristine for sharing your gorgeous condo with me and my family. It was everything you said and what the pictures showed could not have been more perfect. Location is great and the beach was splendid. Walking trails in the morning and the beach made it a nice way to wake up in the morning. I would recommend your condo to anyone planning on staying in Maui. Thanks for all your helpful tips, checking to see if we need anything and all our hospitality. Looking forward to staying again when we make it back to Maui! Randy & Susan K

The Trinh's Honua Kai condo was the perfect place to spend our Hawaiian honeymoon. The condo was absolutely beautiful and was the perfect condo for us! It was so clean and had everything in it that we needed for our stay. We even walked in to fresh flowers scattered throughout the condo which was such a wonderful surprise. The view was amazing and we really took advantage of the huge lanai while drinking our morning coffee. The resort itself was awesome! It had so much to offer that we honestly didn't have to ever leave the grounds but figured we should do some exploring since we were in beautiful Maui! The pools are awesome and kept us busy and the beach right in front of the resort is amazing. We snorkeled right out and that was one of our best experiences from the trip. Duke's restaurant that is right in the resort had amazing food and great drinks too! We loved Duke's so much that we ate there a few times! I am still amazed how awesome the Honua Kai is and what made our experience so wonderful, was dealing with the Trinh's! They couldn't have been more welcoming fromt the start. They provided us with such helpful information for the perfect places to visit while we were in Maui. They, truly, made our trip one of a kind. We will definitely be using their BEAUTIFUL condo again! We are hoping to get back to Maui in the very near future! Maui is an unbelievale place but our condo truly made our trip! We were so sad to leave and can't wait to get back to the Honua Kai! It is such a magical and unforgettable place! We recommend not only this resort but definitely this specific condo! Thank you again Louis and Kristine! We will be in touch for our next trip to Maui!

My wife and I rented the Trinh’s Honua Kai condo for our honeymoon from August 12th to August 20th 2010. It was our first time to Maui and we regret nothing about renting this condo. We were blown with away every aspect of the condo and resort. The Honua Kai is a first class resort with all the amenities of a 5 star hotel. The 4 pools (all the reviews I read said 3 pools but I counted 4) were never crowded and we never had a problem finding open lounge chairs. There is an on-site restaurant. Dukes Beach House was nice and they also provide the poolside service. I also enjoyed the water slide even though my wife said I was too old for it. The beach right in front of the Honua Kai is beautiful; although we spent most of our time by the pool. Great restaurants and shopping are just a short drive away. The Whalers Village is about a 30 minute brisk walk or a $10 cab ride. I suggest the latter; especially in the dark. The condo itself was immaculate with everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable. It had all the comforts of home; stainless steel appliances, washer, dryer, cable HD TV, Wi-Fi, stand-up shower, Jacuzzi, double sinks, pool and beach accessories. I would like to extend a special thank you to the Trinh’s for letting us rent their condo. There was an open line of communication through-out the rental process and while we were there. We can’t wait until we go back. Thank you.

My friends & I just returned from a fabulous stay at the Trinhs' Honua Kai unit. We first stayed in another condo in South Maui and then moved to this condo in West Maui, and boy we were SO glad we did! I travel quite a bit, and this was by far the best rental experience I've had. Louis was super-responsive about any questions or concerns I had, both before and during our stay. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable -- from providing helpful details on where to eat and getting around, to stocking the condo with everything we needed (coffeemaker, blender, ipod speaker, wi-fi, boogie boards). I'm a fastidious researcher when it comes to travel planning, scouring all the travel websites/reviews, and after wandering the boardwalk to the other properties in this area, I knew that Honua Kai was the best choice. It had nicer, newer, and well-maintained facilities (and not of the cheesy faux-Hawaiian kind either). And all the staff we encountered gave us 5-star treatment. Also, the Viking BBQ grills near the pool were a bonus in terms of saving money on food. This unit is stocked with more than enough good kitchenware to prep a nice meal, bring it down to grill, and dine elegantly at the pretty open-air lobby tables. Also, Black Rock was very close by & was great for snorkeling (& rock diving/cliff jumping too if you're into that!). We even got to swim with some enormous turtles!
