Although we love to travel to new and different places, we have found ourselves coming back to Maui almost every year since our honeymoon 40 years ago. No Ka Oi isn't just a slogan, it is a way of life. The oceanfront lanai never gets old being able to relax with a tropical beverage and an ever-changing view that just might include breaching whales right out in front!
The Papakea Resort is also extremely practical: you can walk to a series of shops, restaurants, and there are two well-stocked markets at hand. Driving only a few minutes puts you in the heart of Whaler's Village at Kaanapali or further north into Napili for great beaches, snorkeling spots, shopping, and dining. Papakea also is quiet, beautifully landscaped, with pools, spas, cabanas, tennis courts, a putting green, and even a concierge desk.
