The resort also has an Activity Desk. For the sports enthusiast, the golf courses of Kapalua and Kaanapali are nearby, and so are beaches great for snorkeling and boogie-boarding.

Sip a cocktail on the lanai and enjoy the beautiful views of the neighboring islands of Lanai and Molokai. Parking is conveniently located near the building, and both the elevator and stairs are nearby.
The living area features ample seating, as well as satellite TV, a VCR/DVD player, and a stereo with a CD player. There is a table with seating for four on the private lanai. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cooking utensils, dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, microwave, and coffee maker. The unit also has its own washer and dryer.

The place was great and right on the ocean. We were here in February and saw whales every day from the lanai. The host was helpful and responded very quickly. No issues at all. Hope to come back again!!!

The condo was spectacular. Nice kitchen nice furnishings - but what stood out was the views off the balcony into the channel. All days long whale spouts, whales leaping- magic ! Any rain lasted only a short while followed by rainbows. About as perfect a spot as we have ever rented!

Papakea offers a nice family atmosphere, daily activities, and close to shopping and restaurants. Our unit was clean, spacious, well appointed. We spent many hours watching whales and turtles off the lanai… dreamy. Robin (property owner) was awesome, responding to a last minute request for an additional night! Thank you so much!

We found the resort difficult to find and our GPS kept taking us a block past the entrance making it a challenge to locate in the dark, late in the evening. The condo has a beautiful view facing the ocean and we were able to sit on the deck watching whales every single day! That was amazing. The beds were comfortable and the washer and dryer very handy. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. Restaurants and amenities within easy walking distance and the award winning cinnamon roll place just right at the resort entrance. Amazon will deliver to the front office where you can pick up any package which is handy as well. The air conditioning was broken but when I called the property manager immediately contacted the owner and it was repaired while we were there. I found the management company to be very responsive to any request or concern. I would be very happy to stay here again in the future. Lovely place!

Great place to stay
This condo was so great for our family. It had enough space, a very well stocked kitchen (always nice to not have to buy coffee filters for example). It was very clean. The best parts of it IMO are: This is ocean front - not beach front - the views are spectacular and sitting on the balcony at sunset, sunrise, just watching the whales - it was amazing. I will say the ocean is LOUD - maybe the only downside is you will 100% hear it in the master bedroom at night even if you close the windows - it takes some getting used to just how loud it is. So if you are a light sleeper maybe bring ear plugs. Secondly, the grounds and amenities were great. Third, there were so many things we could walk to that made the trip easy - the food trucks (we would often just get food for dinner there and then eat on the balcony watching the sunset, slappy cakes, a grocery store, etc. We loved staying here as did our kids. It was just all very easy. Thank you for the great stay!

Loved the view but not the condo
We were not excited about the kitchen pests or the smell in the kitchen when we first got there. We cleaned the counters and by the next day, the odd smell was gone. The pests were a recurrent thing. I think it’s to be expected in Hawaii. We ended up keeping our dry goods stored in the oven and microwave for piece of mind. The other issue was the loud noise in the master bedroom from the slatted windows. I read the reviews from previous vacationers so I knew there would be noise from the waves. Just didn’t expect it to be as loud as a freight train. It might not be as bad in summer or on less windy/rainy nights. The condo itself was a great location. The furniture was comfortable. And that view. Breathtaking every morning! We saw so many whales. I could have sat on the lanai all day whale watching. Can’t rave enough about the view.
If your priority is whale watching, this is the condo for you. If you prefer a good nights rest or are a sensitive sleeper, you might think twice.

Great Accomodations
Right on the waterfront. Could hear the waves from everyone in the condo. Spacious and clean. Plenty of beach activity equipment for use in the condo. Parking was easy. Overall great stay
Only disappointment was no real beach or snorkeling on the premises. Water was too rough for kids in this location.

Beautiful view but old condo
We enjoyed the beautiful ocean views. However during our 10 day vacation, we kept finding a large pool of water under the master bedroom carpeting. We called the manager a couple of times and when the workers came the day before our checkout, they discovered that drainage water from the upstairs bathroom was the reason for the big puddle in our bedroom. We were literally stepping on another unit's bathroom water throughout our stay. No wonder I got sick half way through our vacation. I made my family leave Old Lahaina Luau early because I wasn't feeling well. The manager and the resort people did nothing for us. They just left our unit and had the plumbers get to work when we checked out the next morning. I can't imagine what that disgusting carpeting would look like if we haven't told them about the water. The 1st floor condo below us was probably affected too.
