Mes séjours parfaits: seulement 369 $ la nuit! 3-7 août SPÉCIAL -REMODELED avec A / C

We loved the condo, location, and ability to make our own food and save money. We were close to grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants. The only con is the Resort is not kid friendly. As there are families at this Resort there are no kid activities and very restrictive in the pool, can't toss a football or have a floats. Also, only a very small beach area not enough to sit on if you didn't want to drive to another. Areas of shade palapa or umbrellas near the shore would be nice. All in all we would recommend and return.

We had a wonderful time and the condo was better then I had imagined. The pictures on VRBO were accurate. There were 10 of us and it worked out well even with 2 people on the pull out couch. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony every morning and watched for whales.

Having already been to Maui on our honeymoon at one of the major hotels, we were looking to return with kids and grandparents and the Aston Papakea fit the bill.

The grounds and views were spectacular:

-The maintenance crews were out there for hours each morning.

-Family friendly pool area. Kids can be kids without upsetting older folks and romantic honeymooners

-We saved hundreds of $ by shopping at the nearby grocery store and using one of the many new Weber grills surrounding the pool

-The lone drawback is the lack of a sandy beach directly in front of the complex (due to the sea wall). You either have to walk from complex...or better yet make 5 min drive to Kahekili beach "airport beach" by the Westin villas. Highly recommended beginner snorkelers

As others have mentioned the reviews aren't fair. This isn't a major hotel and each unit is individually owned/decorated, etc. Our unit E407 was beautiful, well appointed (renovated in late 2017) and most of all clean. However, if you are looking for daily room service, breakfast in bed and the full "honeymoon experience", then look elsewhere.

Vikki from myperfectstays also did a wonderful job. She really helped alleviate our concerns and minor plan changes due to hurricane lane (thankfully mostly a non-event in Maui).

We stayed at Papakea with a large group of family. Every morning we’d sit on the patio with our coffee soaking in the fresh new sunshine all while the property maintanance team was busy cleaning and preparing the grounds for another new day. Everything was so beautiful! Not just because it was surrounded by the wonderful ocean but also because of the hard work and daily care the team at Papakea put into this location. We will absolutely stay here again when we return to the island. And hopefully that’s soon because we already miss the amazing warmth and sunshine.

We had a great time in Unit E407, newly remolded and beautiful!! They thought of everything that you could want or need in this condo,kitchen items/laundry/comfy linens and bathroom items. The unit was spotless and spacious for our family of 6, we had plenty of beds, there is only one sofa for sitting but there are plenty of chairs at the table and bar. There is a closet full of beach items as well as plenty of beach towels to borrow so no need to pack those in your suitcase. The unit is located right next to the stairwell, most people were polite and quiet during quiet hours, we did go speak with some neighbors below us about 2 in the morning during our visit but then they were quiet and no problems after that. The resort has lots to offer for activities, pool, spa, shuffle board, mai tai's in the cabana on certain afternoons as well as yoga and water exercise classes, these are included in your $17 a day resort fee(if you have more than one car it's also $5 a day extra). This is ocean front property, not beach front, but there are beaches close by if you favor a walk, or a short drive will get you to Napilli Bay which is the best. The AC worked well in the unit and even though it was a heat wave and tail end of hurricane Hector our unit stayed cool and dry. There are also a couple of good eating places within a quick walk, our FAVE was Java Jazz... good food breakfast,lunch and dinner! Live music in the evenings and reasonably priced for a vacation destination, we also enjoyed pizza and gyros at Paridiso Pizza and breakfast at Slappy Cakes, just be prepared for a hour wait for breakfast so go before your too hungry, it's a very popular spot. The My perfect stay team was great about contacting us to see if we needed anything(which we didn't) and making sure our vacation stay was pleasant, we would be happy to recommend this property to friends and family who are looking to stay in Maui. Aloha!

PS... only recommendation would be to put a "traveler guest book" in the condo, it's always fun to see where others have traveled from and what they enjoyed on their stay, we have gotten great recommendations for food and activities in the guest books at other properties.
