The views are great from the most rooms.
Jennifer L.

I have made many five star reviews for Papakea. Everything is still true. This is a great place for a a family Hawaiian vacation. I am happy with the arrive and facilities as always.

Susan C.

(This review is of the resort, not our unit.) The big plus for Papakea is the location. It's located between Lahaina and Kapalua, so an easy drive in either direction... or a walk along the beachfront walkway. Condos can be rented from owners or by calling the resort itself. There are 2 clusters of condos around 2 different pools, surrounded by 4-6 nice, clean barbeques. The beach is not as accessible as others, but does have a small reef out a ways, providing for a calm area for kids to swim. There's a grassy strip along the beach wall and available lounges for sunning; a putting green behind the pool; tennis and pickel ball courts nearby. Equipment is available at the front desk. Your opinion of Papakea will largely depend on the condition of the condo you're in. Each is owned and each is different. We've stayed in beautifully decorated condos and we've stayed in a condo that was quite dated. Staff, generally, is helpful and accomodating. A caution: certain areas of the outside walkways have been treated with a product that is shiny and extremely slippery when wet, which happens after rain. I had the misfortune to step on that surface just after a rain, and had a hard fall. Other than that, our stay was lovely.

B206 Room view

Resort is good. Not every Condo is created equal. They are all run it like a AirBnB/VRBO but have a front desk to handle basic stuff. My room B206 was a one bedroom Condo with an awesome view but completly outdated and feels like you went back to the 1970s. You will pay an additional cleaning fee ( mine was $175) and a resort fee of $65 on top of my nightly fees at checkout. Overall, I'd go back to this resort but do research to see which room is updated to at least thd late 20th century..

Ocean front...50' away, 2 level condo with incredible whale views!
Bill S.

We stayed here in a condo right on the ocean...I mean like 50' from the sea wall. The waves crashing onto the seawall echoed into the condo so loud, we had to close the door some just to make the room quieter. Great place to relax and unwind. Nice grounds and pools / hot tubs. They have a putting green with nine holes to practice. Luckily our condo was very well stocked and had putters and balls. The other cool thing here is watching the whales right from your deck! We could see them spouting and crashing out in the sea. Really amazing to see this. They also have lots of really nice gas grills. One of the best meals we had during two weeks to Hawaii was going and getting a $7 package of chicken breasts, red peppers, onions and a pineapple. We marinated the chicken in balsamic, olive oil and some spices (all in our well stocked condo) and made kabobs (the wood sticks were also in our condo!). We made chicken / pepper / onion kabobs and ones with just pineapple. Grll these poolside and its a fantastic meal to enjoy! We made some Uncle Ben's Wild Rice to go along with this - it was delicious! On Hawaii where every meal is about $25/person when you go out, this was better and more fun than most of our other meals. Fun trip - great condo!

Honestly, this wasn't the best experience for us! Our 1st time to Maui, and since we had not traveled for awhile since the pandemic started we decided to head to Maui. We had an early flight, getting in at about 12:00 noon. When we got to the hotel/resort... we were told we couldn't check in, the room was still not ready... we went to eat, walk a bit and checked back around 3pm, nope still not ready... so we hung out in the car since we were a bit tired and just wanted to rest. 4pm, we go grab our keys, and the front desk agent said, oh now I can give you the key(hinting too, that the room was available for a while and they couldn't let us in till 4pm)! As for the room, it has a dirty carpet, stained curtains, a kitchen faucet that is about to fall off, an outdated style, very dusty, and the chairs in the patio was faded from the sun... almost to the point it looked disgusting. Considering we paid close to 1,500 for 4 nights, we expected to have a much better place... at minimum, good experience and ensuring that the property would have been maintained. Overall, I would not recommend this place for its stay. However, if you can look past all that, maybe this is for you. The view is great Stay away from room G204!

New head is security was a jerk. Wrecked the six of our vacation for no good reason. He kept going on and on about how he was the head of security, and how he was not hassling us just to hassle us. It sure felt like it to us! We hope he is not going to be here for too long! They have to hire nice people, with people skills, or they are going to see their clientele dry up. He is better suited to a military post or somewhere he can not interact with people trying to have a good experience on vacation. So what if you are the HEAD of security. You are a peon, really. And you can offend a lot of people more powerful than you.

Front desk.   There is a bank machine in this building.

Stay in an beach front / ocean front unit in Feb-2022. Large 1-bdrm suite with everything we needed in our suite. 2 a/c units that kept our whole suite nice and cool. Our balcony faces right into the ocean and we just brought food back to our ocean-front balcony to eat.

Breath taking views
Leanne S.

Our two bedroom two bath was perfect. The view was amazing. It is a drive from the tours for hana and Haleakala but it was peaceful. The beach was small and felt private. There was activity at the pool but it ended by 10 so it was not a big deal. People were grilling every night. Food trucks right around the corner. Great way to cut down the food budget. Highly recommend

Kristi K.

I wish I could say my experience was good. But my a/c wasn't great in my room the curtains were dirty. Lots of weird scratches on the floor boards.. They gave me a refund but charged my card an extra couple of times due to forgetting to put the minus sign on it ... so like just an extra charge. My room was through the Aston and yes it is spacious there! But it needs updated so bad. I'm sure the privately owned condos are better! I would give it another try but not for $4000 for 7 night holy sh*t... the staff is very nice. It's super dark at night. Can walk 10ft to the beach . Obviously they were very sweet about giving me a refund. But nobody seemed to know what was going on!

Another termite in our bed
Jake P.

INFESTED WITH TERMITES! We have killed at least 50 of them in the last 30 minutes. I just got off the phone with the front desk to inform them of what I thought was a major problem and they didnt even seem to care the slightest bit. They weren't even phased. They said they could send someone to spray in 2-3 and not so much as an apology or an ounce of compassion. It's 10 PM, we cant go anywhere else so we have to sleep with termites raining down on us. Service here is absolutely horrible.

Sunset view from our balcony.
Linda P.

We were, at long last, able to travel to Maui to belatedly celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We booked an ocean view studio at a very reasonable price. Imagine our surprise when we were upgraded, free of charge, to a newly remodeled, spacious, front corner third floor one bedroom unit with an expansive ocean view. The staff was friendly and efficient, and while some services (like housekeeping) were unavailable due to COVID, a quick call to the front desk brought clean towels and toiletries to our door. We have stayed in many/most of the condo complexes along Lower Honoapiilani Road from Kaanapali to Napili. Most have been clean and pleasant. But the Papakea has now risen to the top of our list, and we look forward to returning. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Jamie J.

We stayed in the Ginger building for 2 weeks which was a 2 bedroom/2 bath unit on the first floor. It had immediate access to the pool, sunshine, and the ocean view. It also wasn't too far of a walk from the parking lot. Some of the windows throughout the resort have updated bedroom windows but ours did not so you can hear the slightest of noises. There were a few nights it was challenging to go to sleep or stay asleep because you could hear the slightest whisper of those walking on the sidewalk outside your window. It wasn't a deal-breaker by any means, but it's probably a good idea to make those updates. However, this could an owner issue and not a resort issue. We didn't really take advantage of any of the outdoor amenities because we were either out enjoying the island or it was pouring down rain. The tennis courts were used a lot by other guests and they looked to be in really good condition as did the pool when we walked by a few times. One of my favorite things about this resort is that they did not allow any travelers to stay if they did not have a negative covid test. They also did not allow those who disregarded the covid test protocol and were required to quarantine for 10 days. I felt safer knowing that there weren't just a bunch of careless people running around the resort. For the most part, the guests were respectful with the mandatory mask mandate and the staff had their masks on 100% of the time. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here and would absolutely stay here again if we ever make it back to Maui.

Breakfast, with a view!

We have stayed at the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Villas a few times now. It isn't the nicest resort on…read moreMaui or in Kaanapali and it doesn't have the best food. But it does have a lot of other things going for it. Our favorite is the location to the boardwalk and the super easy access to the most beautiful beach. Perfect for morning walks. Snorkeling is incredible there. Also turtles, sometimes dolphins, monk seals and tons of whales during whale season. You have to pay $90 for two beach chairs and an umbrella. $36 for just an umbrella. Parking is $35 a night. It all adds up quickly. If you want a lounge chair at the pool, you have to get up by 5 AM to get the one you want. They have activities all day and live music most nights- really enjoyable to sit by the fit pit, watch the sunset and live. The rooms are hit and miss. Sometimes we get an ocean view where you can see a sliver of water. Another time we were next to their laundry units, which were loud. Other times we were ocean front and it was incredible to watch the whales. The little kitchenette is perfect. They are well stocked. And I love that you can do laundry. They clean the rooms every two days but you can ask for supplies if you need anything.

As Chairman's Level owners, we expected a much higher standard from The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean…read moreResort Villas, but this stay was incredibly disappointing. When we arrived, our villa contained power tools, dirty dishes, and had clearly not been properly prepared for guests. What was even more frustrating was that it took three separate face-to-face visits with both the front desk and management before the room was finally cleaned. Communication throughout the process was poor, and we never felt that anyone took real ownership of the issue. The only compensation offered was a $50 resort credit, which did not reflect the inconvenience or the time we spent trying to resolve a problem that should never have existed. Beyond our room, both the villas and many of the common areas felt worn, dingy, and lacking the level of care we have come to expect from the Westin brand. The most disappointing aspect of our stay wasn't simply the condition of the property--it was the apparent lack of urgency and concern from management. We have always associated Westin with quality, service, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, this experience fell well below those expectations. We hope management takes these concerns seriously because loyal owners and guests deserve much better.

Also love keypad entry so you don't have to remember your keys all the time esp when at beach or pool. Love the outdoor grills and beer fridges on the villa balconies. Areas of feedback for the property: We found many of the units to have been in mediocre condition and poorly maintained. Two units have broken a/c's and a third was just barely strong enough. Also had WiFi issues, broken bbq lids, non operational patio fans, broken dishwashers. In the common areas, the gym has a decent set of weight equipment, but is comically small, almost infuriatingly and dangerously so. Every morning and every evening before dinner it was just so packed, you could barely do your sets without bumping into somebody at the machine next to you To add to that, the gym's air conditioning was broken all week (who knows how long before that?) which added to the discomfort. I'm a pretty easy-going traveler and have no problem when a couple of these happen from time to time but seeing them all occur is a clear sign of poor management by the ownership. My TLDR here is it's a good property, but shows extremely poor management and excessive cost cutting, and ultimately becomes a subpar product until that's addressed.

Dump your own trash, etc. So for this type of rental, it's top notch. Here's why: The location is perfect. 5 min walk to Whaler's Village.

It usually features…read morecomfortable, spacious, fully furnished, well maintained 1-2 bedroom villas with full kitchens, refrigerators, microwaves and coffee makers at a great location on Kaanapali beach. Overall the spacious lush tropical grounds are beautifully maintained with two pools, a kiddie pool and two hot spas and featuring BBQ grills under a covered deck with chairs and tables. The whole complex is directly on the beach. There are no restaurant or bars on the property which is nice as it keeps crowds to a minimum. Unfortunately this visit fell well short. We rented two ninth floor villas, each with a different but beautiful view of the beach or the mountains. Unit 495 was a mountain facing two bedroom unit. It was clean, well maintained, probably recently renovated and up to the exemplary Kaanapali Ali'i standards we are used to. Unit 496 was an ocean facing villa showing it's age. One bathroom shower curtain showed spots of black mold.The lanai doors were incredibly hard to open requiring a maintenance person to come and repair them. The refrigerator ice/water dispenser leaked and there were stains from it and possibly something else down the front. Worst of all was the sickening smell of cigarette or possibly cigar smoke throughout the unit. This is unacceptable for a non smoking facility and quite unappealing. Electric air freshener units and odor disguising gel containers were provided but could only partly contain the smell in two of the bedrooms. The whole unit needs to be cleaned, sanitized and the lingering smoke scent removed. The bed in one of the bedrooms was regrettably very hard and painful for us to try to sleep on. Water to the entire complex had to be shutoff overnight for some kind of plumbing replacement work. Small plastic jugs of water were available at the front desk, this we found out by my son casually mentioning the inconvenience of the water shutoff to a facility staff member whi indicated that water would be delivered to the room upon request. When I called th efront desk, no delivery of this water to the room was available or offered. The outside bathrooms were under construction and we were directed to two porta potties, laughingly labeled as "Rest rooms", outside the buildings requiring a long walk to access. We should have been advised of this work before arriving as it was extremely inconvenient. The two large pools were getting shut down to access for maintenance or some other kind of issues. The two outside showers that are used to rinse off were unexpectedly shut down for a day so no rinsing off of sand. we noticed some younger guests simply entering the pools or spas with sand still over their feet and legs which resulted in a greta deal of sand at the bottom of the pools/spasOne night we attempted to access our two units only to finad all of our keys deactivated. The front desk could I understand any facility needs maintenance but having all this happen in the space of out two week stays was vey discouraging. I hope to return to Kaanapali Ali'i in the future but will definitely first be monitoring reviews and contacting the facility directly to try to determine what to expect. This is a discouraging turn in Maui vacation planning.

Resort- the pool was cleaned every morning and always warm. Plenty of seating options around the pool and around the resort in general. The vegetation was really nice. All staff were SO kind. The grounds always seemed clean and relaxing. Cultural classes- absolute favorite part of our trip. We had so much fun learning about the Hawaiian culture through story telling, history, garden walks, lei ceremony, lei making, and wood carving. Overall we had such an amazing experience, learned so much, and had constant beautiful views. Only complaint is that I wish there were more food options at our resort, or microwaves. Maui Brewing Co was okay, but limited. Whalers Village is a quick walk and has a variety of options.
