Honua Kai Resort

Our stay was wonderful. The room was very clean, the staff was always helpful and the location to everything was great. The pool was very nice and having the beach right there was great!

My husband, I and our two kids stayed five nights at the Honua Kai in February 2012 and loved it. We paid for a one bedroom partial ocean view suite and ended up getting upgraded to a two bedroom without even asking. The suite was beautiful....large clean rooms, modern amenities and a FULL kitchen. We loved having a refrigerator, microwave, stove and washer/dryer and ended up eating many meals in the room rather than dining out. The beds were large (king) and comfortable. The pools, though a little cool, were great for my young children, who especially loved the water slide.The food at Dukes was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. The only drawback was the incessant wind! It was so windy at the pool and beach that you couldn't wear a hat. It would just blow away. The wind was pretty consistent the whole time we were there so not sure if it's just the nature of where the resort is situated on the island. The resort staff was friendly and helpful. There was also a grocery store right across the street from the hotel which came in handy. We definitely enjoyed the Honua Kai and would stay there again.

This was a great value. To start the room was very nice. The one bedroom ocean view studio suite has a view of the ocean even though you are tucked into the inner corner of the U-shaped building. The higher the floor the better the view would be. Also the full kitchen allowed us to save money by eating some meals in the room. There was a grocery store just down the road for supplies. The location was good as well. It took only about ten minutes to drive to downtown Lahaina. The cab ride amounted to about $20.00 each way which was reasonable for a night out without a car. Also there were plenty of nice beaches within walking or short drive distances. It is listed in the fine print but, there is an additional $25.00 resort fee charged per day added onto your bill at the end. Lastly this resort is popular with children so if you want complete quiet this may not be for you. Although we had no problems with noise while in our room during the day or night. All in all I would definitely come back here again.

Great resort! Perfect location! Loved the pools and easy access to the beach! Excellent value!

Wonderful amenities at this resort. Would definitely stay again! The resort needs clearer street signs in the front entrance area directing you to parking, Duke's restaurant etc.

Great location,amenities,staff...the stuff all good memories are made from!Couldn't get much better,cocktails by the pool,whales breaching in the ocean and gorgeous sunsets while eating the freshest of seafood from Duke's Beach House...Thoroughly enjoyed the updated amenties in an extremely well-appointed condotel..Only minor drawback with 3 swimming pools onsite,one should exclusively for adults!

Honua Kai Resort offers decent sized condos (1 bedroom) with breathtaking Lanai views. The lanai doors were our favorite part of our stay. We had a 1 bedroom mountain view condo which was perfect for us. We loved the mountain colors every morning. The sun rises over the mountain displaying the beautiful greens and browns offered from Maui's finest. Being able to open these doors really put this resorts accommodations over the top. The pools looked nice, but we are more of ocean people. The beaches are great!! We actually went down about 20 minutes to a spot that had better waves and less rocks. The beach near Honua Kai is good for snorkeling but I did get a little cut up from there being so much coral near the beach, which apparently is common, as told to us by the first aid guy on the resort. My suggestion is if you are going to swim out a little bit, to head south 15 minutes or so. It's a little safer down there. Duke's is a must. People travel from other parts of the island to eat here and it's on the resort. Great food, great drinks, and awesome bartenders!!! Aina market is in the lobby of the main building and is OUTSTANDING!! Everything comes from O'O Farms which we took a lunch tour of and we highly recommend!! This really took our trip to another level. Also, the chef of the market and farm have 2 restaurants in Lahaina. We ate at I'O and it was so good. Definitely recommend this place!! Would stay here again and hope to do so some day!!

This was a fantastic and beautiful resort for my three generation family except high price.

Could not ask for anything more except one thing: The cleaning staff works unpredictable hours, our sheets were not changed during our 6 days stay and never the tables, counter tops were wiped clean of finger prints and such (everybody used a suntanning lotion which leaves greasy residue). This is the one thing wich needs to improve.

One bedroom apt excellent .large & comfortable. Along the beach facilities for renting paddleboarding & kayaking , which we did. Snorkeling just 5 min drive away. Our apt. was partial sea view which was excellent. One thing was the 'no children' policy wasn't enforced enough . Also be very careful as the coral is very close as you Get into the water on the immediate beach in front of The hotel. Great have 'Dukes' right on site, wonderful Food . Airport only 45mins away.
