    Repeat guest at Papakea!

    We love staying at the Aston Papakea and is our second time. It's nice and laid back, not very busy with crowds. Any issues with condos are remedied quickly by Aston. The condos have everything we need including barbecues by the pool. The pool and hot tub are very nice. Love sitting by the sea wall at sunrise and sunset, so relaxing listening to the waves crashing. Lots of whale sightings this time of year in January. Walking distance to grocery store and the Maui food truck park. Great food there! Close to other restaurants, cafe's and gift shops and the ABC Store.

    Great location on Kaanapali Beach

    The complex, location, and staff are great. It is recommended you check the condition of the assigned unit before unpacking. Not all are the same. Some have been upgraded while others are like a 1970s movie set. The pool facilities are nice. The building is easy walking distance to all kinds of restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and the beach boardwalk.

    Great place to stay, just pick you unit before you go through VRBO or other unit specific way.

    We stayed in F304 which is a one bedroom ocean front condo. The unit is in dire need of an upgrade, it has not been touched for at least 20 years. No AC in the bedroom so we had to keep the sliding doors open and the bedroom windows to get some air flow while sleeping. The kitchen did not have much for cooking and the one non-stick pan was unusable. If you plan on staying at Papakea which I do recommend, go directly with an owner or VRBO so you can pick your unit. We used a package through Hawaiian Airlines so we did not get to pick our unit. The grounds at Papakea are beautiful and the pools are well maintained. There is a food truck lot within walking distance with a lot of good food choices. The Times supermarket is also close so it is easy to get groceries if you like to cook for yourself. We like to walk so it is possible to get to the Kaanipali beach walk from the resort but it will take about 45 minutes at a leisurely pace. I also recommend Papi’s Ohana for a cinnamon roll in the morning and pizza in the afternoon. There will be a line early in the morning but if you go after 9AM the line is much shorter. Check their website to see what days they are open.

    Comfortable, Newly Renovated, and Welcoming Stay with AC – A Fantastic Experience!

    We had a great experience staying at this hotel. We were given a newly renovated one-bedroom apartment with air conditioning in both the bedroom and living room, which was very clean and comfortable. The check-in process was straightforward, even though we arrived after the front desk had closed; the staff were prepared and had left us a temporary key, making everything smooth and hassle-free. The location is excellent—it's within walking distance of an ABC Store, perfect for quick groceries, and close to several food trucks, which offered a great chance to try some local dishes. Overall, a fantastic place to stay with convenient amenities and a welcoming atmosphere.
