We've stayed at various condos in Papakea for quite a few years and this property was probably one of the best units that we've ever stayed at! The condo is very well equipped with not only the normal kitchen necessities, but all the extra items that are many times missed in other condos. Boogie Boards, full size ice chest(used almost every day), oversized beach towels, books...you name it, they had it covered!
This unit has a great view that we enjoyed every day...probably could have stayed on the balcony all day, everyday and be totally content! If things got a little warm, the AC did a great job cooling things down. However, we rarely used it...the tropical crosswinds were a perfect cool down for the unit. We normally stay on the 4th floor in condos that have the loft. Those are great spaces for sure, but this 2-bed/2-bath unit on the 2nd floor actually felt larger and was more comfortable by far...for a family of four, we never felt cramped in this unit.
Of course, Papakea is a great property to stay at...perfect for families! Beautiful grounds that I could easily live at permanently and enjoy every single day! For me personally, Papakea is truly my "happy place"!
Finally, the services provided by KBM Hawaii was superb! They made the rental process extremely easy and the rental car that was packaged with the rental was a great deal. I highly recommend working with KBM and will most likely be renting our next Papakea stay from KBM.
Bottom-line, Papakea is a wonderful place to stay in Maui and its hard to find anything bad about staying in any unit at that property. But...from someone who's stayed at Papakea many times over the years, this unit is a true winner...you can't go wrong!
