Great place to stay. Very happy w rooms, location and ease of check in

Perfect location for access to everything, yet quiet enough to enjoy some family time. We always love coming here.

We stayed in this condo for 10 days for my birthday and wedding anniversary February 2020. It was comfortable for the 6 of us, 4 adults/2kids. Being able to wake up, make coffee or purchase one at the shop downstairs, sit on the lanai watching the whales is priceless. The kids loved all the pools with easy beach access just beyond them was perfect. We really loved that there were beach chairs, umbrella, toys and a cooler provided with this rental, one less thing we had to think about buying or renting elsewhere. We would definitely recommend this rental property for families of 4 or 6. We requested a roll away, which was quite comfortable and easy to tuck out of the way. We did need to get a new coffee maker our first morning but it was delivered within hours to us along with a few extra blankets. The rental company also called me a few times to check in to make sure everything was up to our standards or if we needed anything else. I would definitely stay here again as well as recommend this property to family and friends.

Beautiful condo, well appointed. Great location on the beach!

If you are trying to decide between a resort and a VRBO, this is a great hybrid options. It has most of the amenities of a resort (and all the ones I care about like a spa, a gym, pools, super easy beach access, a poolside bar and restaurant) but you also have a full kitchen and washer drier. It was nice to be able to refresh laundry on the go (and dry bathing suits etc. faster for packing) and have a fridge for quick easy snacks/drinks. Check in was easy. Parking was convenient. We needed more tide pods for the washer and they were super responsive with that. [BTW construction mentioned in previous posts is complete, so that wasn't an issue.] Lots of kids around this complex, but it was a mix.

Condo was well appointed and quiet. View of ocean lovely. Rental company very responsive at all stages. Every pool and hot tub overflowing with children. Mostly large families. Needs a larger area and hot tub for adults only.

We enjoyed our stay but felt that communication with the rental management would have been onsite and smoother. It felt like a hotel without the hotel in room service.

My family had a lovely trip to Honua Kai. This was our second time at the resort and the first time in this unit. The resort is well appointed, with several pools and nice amenities. Since our last trip 3 years ago, they’ve expanded their general store on site and it’s nice to have that available. The unit was a lovely 2 bedroom. I read reviews with concerns about the carpet and kitchen supplies. The property manager must have listened because the carpet was replaced with new flooring and the kitchen was well stocked. The construction noise wasn’t a big issue. Even during the day it was fine to sit in the balcony. It can get quite dusty though. Maui Resort Rental was good and easy to work with. We requested an extra bed, a blow up mattress and a wireless speaker, and they were all there when we arrived. I also appreciated that they supplied coffee and banana bread so we were ready for breakfast on the first morning! The reason for the 4 star review is poor experience during check in and with the bell staff. They helped us get all our stuff to the room, which is a nice service if it’s done right. They gave us someone else’s food, which caused all kinds of chaos. They also misplaced my son’s sand toys, which they never found and and didn’t seem too concerned about. They eventually made it right, but it took about 10 phone calls and in person visits. Not the way you want to spend vacation time. Overall, it’s a wonderful place and we had an awesome time. Highly recommend d.

Kitchen was marginally stocked. Virtually no bowls. TV so out of date Netflix or Prime were not accessible. Carpets so dirty your socks literally were soiled walking on them. Living room furniture old, tired and soiled. Hideabed was so bad it was unusable,forcing our adult son to sleep on the floor instead. As a couch it was very uncomfortable. The two living room chairs similarly not clean and terrible to use. This is a tired condo and not worth the money. Very disappointing.

We travelled with four adults, our four year old and 8 month old. We requested pack n play, high chair and they also provided a booster chair and beach toys for the 4yo. Which was fantastic. The room had a nice partial view to the ocean. There was some construction noise from where they are building the luana garden villas though but we mostly just turned out chairs towards the ocean view. The carpets should probably be replaced or cleaned more regularly. The bathrooms were very nice, spacious and modern. Lots of towels were provided. Went to use the kettle and someone had left ginger in the pot. The nozzle on the fridge for the water needs to be cleaned. Drank water from it the first night and had to go out the next day and buy flats of water. The pull out bed was terrible. You can feel the bars digging into your back. We asked if they could do anything about it and they did provide extra bedding and a blow up mattress. Having a washer and dryer was great. The dryer does not seem very efficient though so dont overload it. The parking underground is very tight and there are pillars everywhere. But we seem to get lucky and get ones close to the doors. The resort itself seemed to be very clean and all the grass and trees are nice and well manicured. The pools were nice, two big pools, one lazy river, five hot tubs and water slide. The 4 yo loved the pool. The beach itself isn’t the nicest but is very close and walkable. I would recommend wearing water sandals if you plan on swimming out as it is quite rocky bottomed. The sand is coarse and not fine, and waves do pick up some rocks So be careful. The restaurant Dukes was delicious. We went there several times for breakfast and dinner. The Macnut banana pancakes were delicious as was the banana leaf fish at night. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would come back. If we do come next time, we would probably stay in one of the 3 bedroom suites to avoid anyone having to sleep on an uncomfortable pull out bed.

This is an amazing place for a family vacation. All the amenities and only a minute to the beach. Would not hesitate to come back

This was our first trip to Hawaii with our family (two adults and three school-aged children). This property absolutely exceeded our expectations. The unit was very well appointed and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided and nothing was difficult during our stay. The owners clearly have thought of everything. The wifi is fast and reliable, which was important with multiple devices going at times. Breakfast and morning coffee on the lanai was just like being in paradise. The views are spectacular and even with a bit of construction going on it didn't take away from the enjoyment. The resort is great and perfect for families with children. The beach is just a few steps away. There are a few different pool areas and cabanas for rent. The food and drinks served from Duke's was all very good. Everyone we encountered at the resort was friendly and eager to help us. I highly recommend this property and will return again. Thank you for making our stay in Maui so memorable!

We had a great stay at Honua Kai Resort. The property is really nice and maintained well. Our unit 446 was clean and well cared for. On vacation I usually miss my bed the most but the beds were very comfortable. Having the washer and dryer was good. You can pack less ( always a plus). That said the dryer takes forever!!! They do tell you that upfront so it is not a surprise. The resort has several pools to choose from. They were supposed to have an adult only pool... they did not. So if you don’t like kids in the pool with you you’re not going to like that. The hot tub situation... there were 5 I believe. Kids were always in them as well if you go during the day. Night time was more adult. Not a deal breaker for us. The hot tubs definitely needed more cleaning. I’m sure it was a sunscreen issue. Overall a great stay.

We would definitely come back to this resort and book the same room. They do an amazing job making you feel like on vacation. It was clean and had a beautiful view with huge wide open doors. There was construction outside our patio which wasn’t mentioned but we just positioned our chairs towards the ocean. The rental company was amazing! Great people making our trip amazing!

Resort was very nice. Really enjoyed our stay!

Check in was easy, Maui Resort Rentals in around the corner if you need anything and Nick was responsive and helpful with all questions. The resort was as advertised. Great rooms and kitchen, spacious bathrooms and well furnished. The pool was enjoyable and the property is located oceanfront will immediate access to the jogging trail for the 2 mile jog to waterfront Starbucks in the morning. Great way to start the day! We could not have asked for more. The facilities were perfect for our needs and Maui Resort Rentals was great to deal with. Thanks Nick!

Honua Kai is a great resort. We walked the beach and stopped at some other resorts even past Blackrock and concluded this was the best place and would love to come back. Nick was super responsive at Maui Realty to anything we had that came up. Room was great and with a roll-away fit our family perfectly. Beach was nice and we snorkeled and swam right out front. Only negative that we ran into was the dryer not drying. It is what they called ventless which lead to very little actual drying going on - it would take hours to dry a load at best. That said, we hit to laundry-mat in Lahaina one night and problem solved.

Loved the condo and the view was way better than expected! I’m in love with the whales! Maui resort rentals are a top notch agency. Every single thing we asked for they delivered! I truly believe customer service is their priority! I will rent from them again!

Loved Maui. The condo was beautiful, snorkeling was good right at the beach in front of the condo

We were very pleased with Honua Kai. It's an incredibly family friendly resort. Beautiful resort pools, great onsite restaurant (Dukes) and beautiful beach with calm waters. I liked our unit holukani 446. Its spacious and Maui Resort Rental does a great job stocking it. We had a complimentary crib, Vitamix, beach chairs, cooler, etc. The only slight complaint I have is that I would call this unit partial ocean view not full ocean view. You can see the ocean only from the lanai/balcony. I knew this from the photos, but worth noting. Other than that, the unit was great (though carpet could use a good shampooing, as to be expected.) We'll definitely return to Honua Kai and happily rent with Maui Resort Rentals again (though I would try to negotiate down the $300 cleaning fee, seems excessive) and certainly be open to staying at this unit again (assuming we won't want to pay the premium for a real ocean view from the bedroom!)

We were beyond pleased with the apartment, amenities, location and finally service during our stay. Thank you for making the process seamless and checking in on us during our stay.

There is NO WAY you cannot love Honua Kai. This was our 3rd visit and our second stay in Hokulani-unit 446. Working with Maui Resort Rentals is a pleasure and makes vacation logistics easy from check-in to checkout. Coming back to an island and a resort that we already were familiar with helped to make this a true vacation. The condo had all the basics. The beds are more than comfortable. The lanai has an excellent view of the ocean. This was our first two week stay and we made use of the in-unit washer and dryer. Our daughter joined us after the first week, once again enjoying this two bedroom unit. We appreciated Nicole from Maui Resort Rental working out late checkout. A great bonus for this trip. The variety of pools gave the opportunity to be in quiet or busy areas with adults or families. Loved watching the sunset from the beach. Beach chairs available in our unit were used regularly. Our son was staying in the other tower the second week and I found it interesting that our extra supplies seemed to be for an adult stay while they had snorkels, beach towels and items more suited to a family with children! Nice work Maui Resort Rentals. We Love the easy access to food and beverage from Dukes. The Whalers and Aina shops were popular stops. We discovered the Famers Market and Coop on this trip and regularly walked there for food and breakfast!! Loved the Fish Market, also within walking distance. Times Market (walking) and Foodland Farms (driving are both great for groceries. New restaurants for us were Paia Fish Market-Lahaina, Monkey Pod-Kihei and The Mill House ( on the way to the airport when you have a late flight) all excellent for different reasons. We returned to two favorites, Sensei and Mama's Fish House. This was the perfect vacation, a week for the two of us, a week with 5 family members and two days tacked on the end. Maui, Honua Kai and Maui Resort Rentals never disappoint. We are plotting out return! Laurie
