The property was accurate to the photos, great views of the ocean, sunset, and the whale watching is fantastic.
At first, especially at night, it is a little tricky finding the Konea Tower but the check-in was easy and fast. We didn't have any problems with the garage pass or finding parking.
Very family-friendly, the pools and grounds were great.
The beach is rocky but a 5-minute walk down the beach towards the Westin, you will find sandy bottoms and fewer rocks.
Rent the snorkel gear and you'll see schools of fish, we saw and followed a sea turtle too.
Duke's was ok, service was slow due to COVID stuff so don't expect to get in and out quickly.
The unit's kitchen had everything you need but the Henckel knife set wasn't there and the only chef knife had a broken tip.
We were disappointed with the nearby local grocery store and the area outside of the property.
Lahaina is touristy, but the store there had local fresh fish. We enjoyed the vibe better in Kihei but it is a good drive to get there.
Inside the property, The Whaler's General Store is like something you would find at the airport but the Aina Gourmet Market in the Hokulani Tower is much better.
The unit was very clean with little visible wear but it's time to change the air filters. Note, the washer & dryer work best with small loads!
I would recommend the Hona Kai for families with young children and older generations (I'm 66).
