Honua Kai Resort & Spa

I love the open air large opening patio door windows from the living room and the bedroom. I loved the cat colony. I love the friendliness of the staff. It definitely had the feel of luxury.

The music at Dukes was thoroughly enjoyable as one sat by any of the 3 pools. The service is respectful and accommodating. Some of the patio loungers were broken and likely should have been removed. The Aina gourmet shop closed when we were there resulting in an inconvenience for some. Hopefully another similiar shop will open soon.

The two bedroom suite was large enough for my family of 5. The room was clean & within walking distance from the beach. I Loved the large patio & the view. It was so beautiful. They have one restaurants Dukes that was Fantastic. We ate there for breakfast & dinner & the food & service was always great. I would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

We had the BEST time in unit 344 and at Honua Kai Resort, renting with KBM Resort Rentals, through Air BNB. We will definitely come back for a family visit. The unit came with essentials needed for the beach, all the comforts of home to be able to relax and cook and do laundry, and clear instructions on checking out. The resort staff were very helpful in getting luggage/groceries to our room and answering any questions we had. My only "other than positive" thought is that I would not consider what the resort lists as a Lazy River, to be what I know a lazy river to be. It doesn't move at all. That being said, all the pools are fabulous. We never had a hard time finding lounge chairs, towels were always available, and access to the beach was so easy. Dukes was phenomenal for pool side service and dining in.

We booked an ocean view studio and that was not available when we checked in. We were given a one bedroom studio with a Mountain View instead. To compensate, we were given a $70/night refund. Our room balcony was closed because the hotel exterior was being painted. We could not go out there between 8am and 5pm daily. I loved the pool area and easy access to the beach. It was nice to have drink and food service provided by Dukes. Parking can be difficult if you get back after 8pm. If there are no spots left, you can go park by the villas or the other building’s lot which isn’t incredibly far, but just really not fun after a long day. The proximity to everything within Kaanapali was great. Some units have a bbq grill on their balcony. my only real gripe about staying here was that the hot water within our room was very limited. Only one person could take a shower before the water became luke warm.

I'm really glad we booked this hotel after checking out some of the options in Maui, getting overwhelmed, and just booking and hoping for the best. Our suite is more spacious than I thought it would be, and the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedding are all updated. Our balcony is great- table, lounging chairs, etc. The grounds, pools, and parking are all well kept. The shop has all the essentials, which makes life easy! The restaurant is also an easy choice with great beach views, and enough variety for us. Easy beach access and a long walking trail along the beach.

This place is just ok. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s sort of like a hotel in that there is a nice pool, but that’s basically where the hotel feel ends. It operates completely like a condo complex, which it is. It is VERY confusing and also VERY weird, that, depending on who manages the particular condo you rent, depends on what color towel you get at the pool (blue vs white). Like seriously…who cares? Just give everyone the same color towel. It looks very cheap having multiple color towels. Our unit, Konea building #207 was fine. again, nothing more nothing less. It’s plenty big (family of 5) and well equipped with dishes, glasses, etc. there is ZERO housekeeping services. So don’t expect your room to be cleaned, trash to be taken out, towels to be changed, etc. it’s 100% up to you to do it. It’s located in an ideal location right in the mix of all other resorts , right on the beach. There is a Times supermarket conveniently located across the street and a food truck park next door. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here as a family as long as you know that you’re basically staying in a condo and NOT a full service hotel. If you’re not a family staying here with kids, I WOULD NOT recommend this place. Stay at a nice resort and take advantage of resort amenities.

We had booked this vacation over 6 months in advance. When we tried to check in, we were told our room type (partial ocean view) was not available. We were told there was nothing they could do about it. We understand the circumstances in the area, but would have hoped to make arrangements for paying customers. We paid for one night and checked out to move to another property.
