We had a wonderful stay at Papakea and would absolutely recommend it. The location, incredible ocean views and sounds, beautiful grounds, and overall ambiance were fantastic.Unfortunately, during our stay upcountry Maui experienced severe winds from hurricane Nola, with gusts reportedly reaching around 70 mph, and the property lost power for nearly 36 hours. The building and resort facilities remained intact and open, and the office stayed open late on Sunday with generator power to help guests, including providing a place to charge phones and other essentials. We had also received helpful instructions from our host beforehand about being prepared for a potential outage, which made a difference. We were ready.Despite the circumstances, the Papakea community really came together and everyone made the best of a difficult situation. The grocery store across the street remained open even without power, and the food trucks next door were about as busy as we've ever seen them!We had a great stay when power was available, and Dana was very understanding about the circumstances and generously compensated our time affected by the extended outage. We really appreciated her communication and willingness to work with us.Overall, we loved the property, the location, the views, and the atmosphere. We would definitely recommend Papakea and would happily stay here again!
