Beautiful and Amazing Vacation!!!
This VRBO rental was outstanding! The condo was amazing and I feel that the pictures online did not do it justice! There was a full kitchen, living room, dining table, a huge walk-in bathroom with his and her sinks, a walk-in glass shower, and a separate large tub! It also had its own master bedroom and the bed was very comfy! The closet space was perfect, and even was stocked up with beach chairs, pool noodles, a full ice chest, and even a high chair and booster seat which we didn’t need lol! Can you even believe that there was a washer and dryer with laundry supplies to wash during your stay that was provided all by the landlord! I was also impressed by the glass windows on the patio door that led you out to a patio table with the beautiful view! My husband and I loved our anniversary trip and I would highly recommend booking this condo! The landlord was so awesome to communicate with! There was constant communication from the day I booked and very quick responses throughout the week of our stay! Magnificent stay! Don’t pass on this one!

Maui stay in September 2024
The host is completely rude. We had no toilet paper upon arrival, she argued we did. After she realized we didn’t, she sent up some 99 cent store quality toilet paper so we just went and purchased our own as well as paper towels since the same cheap paper towels were the kitchen option. . The place stunk like roach spray. We found 2 dead roaches and have pics of them. The sheets are thin and uncomfortable, doesn’t even have a comforter on main bed. Worst host in 12 trips to Maui.

Nice no frills resort
We had a fabulous time in Maui- because how can you not?! That being said, we have stayed at several other resorts across the island, and enjoyed them much more than Honua Kai. The room/unit itself was ok - size was good, and it had a well-stocked kitchen. The unit overall could use a refresh, furniture was worn down, large hole in the couch (as mentioned in other reviews), and overall just seems a little old/rundown. The property manager was very accommodating and her communication was good. She was quick to respond when the door batteries were dead, and when we checked in and didn't have enough linens. The tower this unit is in does have a small coffee shop with snacks and such, however its hours were limited. Duke's is the only restaurant on site- pretty location, ok food, hard to get in to- make a reservation! There are several nice pools on property, although we did find it odd that they didn't seem to monitor guests/wrist bands at all. Our last visit to Maui we stayed at the Fairmont and were happy to see them monitoring guests at the pool. The beach is beautiful but not good for swimming - be mindful of coral and rocks, especially if you have young children. We had to drive daily to get to swimmable beaches. The location of the resort is great- quick drive to Napili and Kapalua, and a short drive down to Whaler's Village and the busier Kaanapali area. Overall it was a great visit, and the resort is nice, but definitely not "high end" if that's what you're looking for.

Honua Kai resort is lovely. Multiple pools for all ages. Duke's restaurant very good. Our accomodations were adequate, not luxurious. Staff is accomodating. Property manager has the reputation of being "strict" according to valet service, so don't try to check in before 11!

We had a wonderful time in Maui as always. The property had construction going on which wasn’t great to look at, and the units we stayed in could use some updating, but overall, Honua Kai remains a nice resort. The views are spectacular.

perhaps a noise cancelling machine is in need
This is our 2nd stay at this resort (2022,2023) and most likely we will come to HK again however, we will not stay at this unit because we had difficulty sleeping. The bed was comfortable but there was a noise which woke us throughout the night and then by early morning there was no sense trying to sleep in. The sound was like someone moving furniture on a tile or wooden floor) We went on a mission to figure it out and it appears that it may be the elevator motor (even stranger than that the elevator is in the attached building, not the one we were actually in.) It took us a few days but when we realized what it may be I texted the property owner about it and it’s the only time he did not communicate with me. Other than that he was always quick to respond. There were a few other minor things we were unhappy about but all in all we still enjoyed our stay. We actually wished we had our grandkids sound machines. We are surprised that we are the only people to complain about the noise. I saw reviews about cleanliness and age of furniture and carpeting but quite honestly that was the least of our complaint.

Awesome Property, very easy beach access
Loved the property, loved the room. You can be on the beach in the water in 5-10 mins but it might take you 20 because you will find yourself walking slow just enjoying the beautiful grounds of the resort. The pool is awesome and easy to find an umbrella during the time we went. Only issue was the sewerage plant across the street. In the evening the smell is overwhelming when you're on the lanai. I would definitely book again!

This condo had all of our needs. The beach chairs were key! A beautiful resort that was great for adults and kid friendly. The beach and pools were lovely. The location felt removed enough from town to feel mellow but still very accessible to everything. The owner was quick to respond and easy to work with. Will definitely stay here again!

Great location and nice unit. Family friendly with lots of pools, beaches, and green space with plenty of lounge chairs everywhere. Dukes was east to get into without reservation and grocery was within walking distance. Unit was nice a modernly spacious. But bedding and upholstery was worn and needs replacement. Doors to patio open to make a beautiful extension on the living space - but birds try to fly in. The view of the pool and ocean is only from a small corner of the patio.

Unit Greatly Disappointed
I will start by saying this is our 5th trip to the Honua Kai and it has always been lovely. I have stayed in different units (due to different size parties) each time. This unit GREATLY disappointed!! Without writing a book I will say that the water heater is insufficient and will only give you 3 inches of hot water in the tub before it turns ice cold...not much point in a soaking tub with only 3 inches of water in it. When I brought this to the owners attention I was told it was a 1 bedroom unit and therefore had a small water heater?? To list the other issues: burned/torn sofa that was FILTHY!, No linens for the pull out sofa sleeping section, stained dirty carpet, broken vacuume that wasn't usable so no vacuuming all week, broken hair dryer that was unusable all week, a broken bar stool that my 7 year old fell off of due to it being broken, and a frozen ice maker so no ice all week without going down to the basement ice machine. When I contacted the owner she had the cleaning service bring linens and she told me basically, 'it is what it is' with the water heater and then just never responded to my other issues. HUGE disappointment! It is VERY obvious they have done NOTHING to keep up the unit since buying it. The chipping paint, dirty grout lines and battered appliances were bad enough without the stuff that was blatantly broken. Also no cushions for the lanai furniture so the partial ocean view we paid for could only be comfortably enjoyed standing up as the furniture is designed to have cushions and apparently they were never replaced once discarded with time. In short DO NOT stay in 840!!
