Aloha Neal and mahalo for your comments. We’re happy to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the location! We appreciate your kind words. It was our pleasure to host you, and we hope to see you on your next Maui vacation. With aloha, MRR
Clean, updated accommodations with a great view. The beach is gorgeous as well and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of snorkeling available right off the shoreline – it’s not a huge reef obviously, but we saw turtles nearly every time we went out! I even saw an eel one day. Duke’s being right there was also nice. They have pretty good food, though as I’m sure you can imagine was not cheap due to location alone. My complaints (such as they are) were that you could not control the thermostat, which was permanently set to 66, and though there is a coffee maker, there was not even a small amount of coffee that came with the unit to get you started pre-grocery store run.

Mahalo for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the updated condo and great view. It’s wonderful to hear the snorkeling right off the beach was such a highlight and that you saw turtles nearly every time you went out! Had we known during your stay, that you couldn't control the thermostat we would have contacted Honua Kai on your behalf to address the issue. We're sorry for any discomfort this caused. A starter supply of coffee is standard for our condos, and we apologize for our service failure in not having it there for your arrival. We hope to see you again. With aloha, MRR

This was a beautiful condo! This was our 2nd time staying at Honua Kai and this condo was beautiful! Very easy booking and check in process. The condo has a bigger ocean view than expected and the kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meal. This unit even came with a crockpot! They also provided oil, salt, pepper, and coffee. Everything worked well in the unit including the washer and dryer. The resort itself is an amazing place to stay for families and anyone interested in enjoying what Kaanapali has to offer. Walking distance to many different restaurants and shops. The pools are absolutely amazing. The resort staff is super friendly and helpful. We loved our stay!

Aloha Cory, We are so pleased to hear the property was to your liking and that you enjoyed the beautiful views and location. Mahalo for sharing your experience with us.
We had a fabulous time staying at the Honua Kai. Everything was perfect!!! We highly recommend this place for a family vacation. Condo had everything we needed… views, cleanliness, location, fully stocked kitchen, excellent snorkeling and an amazing beach and pool. We will definitely be returning!
After traveling for 24 hours we finally arrived at the resort only to find that the door code did not work. We were assured at first that we must be entering the passcode wrong. Eventually we were a mastercode that did work. Rest of vacation was great.

Aloha Gene and mahalo for your comments. The Honua Kai recently installed digital locks on the doors and they experienced some electronic glitches. The system is now working well and we apologize for the inconvenience. We're glad that the rest of your vacation was great. Kind regards ~ Maui Resort Rentals
Beautiful condo!! Great amenities! I was unhappy with the extra fees that were tacked on at the time of booking. Nothing on the description stated there would be extra fees. Considering how high the cleaning fee is I was disappointed that there was not at least one mid week cleaning & fresh towels.
We have stayed at this property many times. Next time I will consider reserving one that is owned by a different property management company.

We were seriously disappointed in the maintenance of the room we were in. It was somewhat run down and definitely in need of some TLC. I found myself having to re-clean everything after we got settled into our room and the lack of cleanliness was definitely upsetting giving these Covid times. The pools and property overall were nice, it was mainly the room that was the disappointment.

The Honua Kai itself is great. I was a little disappointed with this room vs others we’ve stayed at. Upon arriving was not very clean and had to get things to clean it myself. Was not stocked with anything besides toilet paper where as all other rooms we’ve rented were fully loaded with spices, sand toys, beach toys of all kinds. Even the side of the cooler left for us barely fit a few drinks. Overall was a fine stay but the cleanliness was hard no for me. I won’t use again unfortunately.

Aloha Alyssa and mahalo for your comments. We agree the Honua Kai is a great resort, and we’re sorry you were disappointed with this room. Our guest experience team is available daily to assist guests before arrival and throughout their stay, and while we had several communications prior to your arrival, we were unaware that you had any issues after check in. We strive to offer each guest a pristine unit, and we apologize that this wasn’t your experience. Our standard is to provide all paper & soap products and replenish these items upon request. We also provide a bottle of olive oil and salt & pepper grinders. If these items were not present, we do apologize. We’re glad that overall you had a fine stay and wish you all the best with your future travels. With warm aloha, The Maui Resort Rentals ohana
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Honua Kai. The facilities are great and the view from the lanai is awesome. There were a couple of issues with the property. The elevators unfortunately were out of order multiple days. They did fix them but then they would be out of order again the next day. We had two different maintenance people, on different days,walk into the unit unannounced. I did contact the Property Manager after it happened the first time and they ensured it was a one off. Then, it happened the next day again. Otherwise, the unit is comfortable and great for a longer stay in Maui.

Aloha Emily, mahalo for sharing your experience with us. Upon reviewing our records, it appears our maintenance team addressed the tub stopper you reported. Beyond that, we have no record of any additional entries into the unit. That said, we deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay. We truly hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a seamless and exceptional experience in the future.
There was painting scheduled every day we were there which prevented us from using the Oceanview patio, we we’re pretty disappointed since we paid more for that view. The painter were very loud!

Aloha Patty and mahalo for your comments. We are sincerely sorry the Honua Kai's routine painting project happened during your stay. While we notified all affected guests of the project and offered alternatives, some guests were not able to reschedule their stay. We understand your disappointment and apologize for the impact the project had on using your lanai. We hope to see you again. With warm aloha, Maui Resort Rentals
Nice location and staff but a few things to mention. There were loud fans in the hallway due to a leak repair. People were working until 8:00 p.m. The location needs more options to purchase drinks.
We really enjoyed staying here! The room was exactly as promised. We used the beach chairs and cooler almost every day! Parking was easy and the location is great!!!
My family and I had the most amazing time at honua Kai. We had been in need of a break but were a bit nervous of traveling during covid. Place was very clean and exceeded our expectations! Sitting on the lanai watching the sunset and whales was a huge plus! We will be back.
This property was very clean and spacious. The partial ocean view was great and we loved sitting out on the balcony and watching the whales. We enjoyed our stay very much and look forward to our next trip to Maui!
We had a great time in this condo. The full open glass doors was amazing and you get a pretty good view of the ocean. The condo was very modern, clean and fully stocked. My boys loved the complimentary banana bread and we loved the complimentary coffee. The managing company also did a great job providing us sand toys, pack n play and high chair when I requested it. We would definitely book here again.

Fun/Enjoyable Honeymoon
We loved the Honua Kai Resort, the pools and jacuzzi's are absolutely amazing and you can walk right out onto the beach. There's a walkway that you can also walk for miles on the beach, its amazing! The best part about the property is definitely the large balcony where you can sit there for hours and view the water and relax. We experienced one issue, we told the realty company twice that we were going to be there around 1:00pm, we were coming in from a redeye flight so we hoped we could check in and sleep. Multiple times the realty company confirmed that we would be arriving at 1:00pm, they even had our arrival flight info. We arrived there at 2:00pm (an hour after we said we would) and they sounded surprised that we were there so early and that the room wasn't ready. I was a bit frustrated about that and after about 15 mins they said we could check in. Not a huge issue, but I figured the realty company could be a bit more organized and diligent. The only complaint I had about the property itself was that I felt as if the water heater wasn't turned up enough. For example, if you took a bath the water would go from hot to lukewarm after filling the tub halfway. Turning it up so the water stayed hot the whole time would be great. Beyond the the property was very enjoyable. Also, when they say partial ocean view, it is partial, you're seeing it between the two buildings but at least you can see it.

Wonderful 40th anniversary trip!
Wonderful clean property with friendly staff and good amenities. Nice pools and beach. We had a great unit with a partial ocean and mountain view - best of both worlds. We were also away from the construction site. There were a couple of small issues in the unit that were immediately addressed and rectified by the rental agency with courtesy. The rubber access wristbands were the best. It was nice not ever having to worry about keys. Onsite Duke's Restaurant was great. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner there on several occasions and were always happy with service and meals. The location is very good. With Time's market within walking distance. Lahaina was only a few minutes away by car, as well as Napili and Kapalua. Great homebase for exploring west and north coast of Maui. We honeymooned in Ka'anapali in 1978 so it was fitting we return for our 40th anniversary. We wanted to stay at a newer property and our daughter recommended Honua Kai. Glad we took her advice. It was great!
This is a very popular property for young family vacationers so poolside could get a bit loud. It didn't bother us. Overall, I would highly recommend Honua Kai.

Beautiful one bedroom that is fully stocked with everything you need to have a fantastic week.
My husband and I spent our honeymoon in this room and really enjoy it. We got it at a fantastic price ($2300 wk) which allowed us to spend money on food and activities. The kitchen comes fully stocked with equipment for cooking and the unit has really good beach chairs/umbrella. Tons of comfy blankets and pillows to choose from. The in-unit washer/dryer came in handy for towels/beach wear.
The only things we needed: Zip lock bags and tin foil (unit has trash bags, paper towels, dish soap, sponge, salt/pepper/oil, laundry detergent, and soap/shampoo/conditioner). There is a Safeway a few miles from the property which supplied us with everything we needed. Also, because you stay with a property rental company no one cleans the room (which is totally fine, we were careful with sand). If needed, the unit has a few items to help with cleanup.
The view: The view from the balcony is surprisingly good and you can see partial ocean from the bedroom. Because it is not ocean front, the sunset is best viewed from the beach as opposed to the balcony.
The overall property: Honua Kai is very beautiful and has a really good beach with some shaded spots. With two pools and a few small stores, you can really get anything you need without having to leave the resort. The restaurant, Duke's, was nothing special but definitely convenient (might I recommend the macadamia nut pancakes). We got a couple's massage package at the on property spa and paid $500 (including tip) for a 90-minute package that included a massage, hand/foot scrub, and scalp treatment. One thing to note is that the trash chute in the hallway does not smell very good so we got a pretty strong wiff when we walked to and from the room.
Things to do: Besides going to the beach, the resort has an activities desk that can schedule excursions. We took a 1.5 hour horse back riding trip into the mountains at Ironwood Ranch that was fantastic. We also took a snorkling trip to Molokini on a raft with Maui Reef Adventures and got to actually swim with turtles. We took a sunset cruise with Triology and had a blast. The crew were fantastic and we ended up seeing/following pilot whales which is super rare.
Favorite restaurants: Lahina Grill and the Paia Fish Market (in Lahina) are a must. Lahina Grill is about $50 a plate but the best meal we had all week. Paia Fish Market offers tons of different types of fresh fish cooked a way of your choosing for about $25 a plate, can't beat the price or the quality
