Our stay was from 2-22-24 to 2-28-24.
The unit is in one of the beachfront buildings, so the view from the 6'x15' lanai was worth the whole cost. The extra 1000+ sq ft condo space was pure bonus.
We were there during whale watching season, and the live marine show was out of this world. From the lanai, we saw whales constantly. We saw sea turtles feeding in the surf right in front of us. We saw dolphins in the distance traveling north. The view was the #1 reason we chose this unit, and it sure paid off.
Communication with Lou before, during, and after our stay was always fast. We never had an issue so we didn't have to contact the local manager. The condo was well stocked. The beds were comfortable. We didn't interact much with the resort staff, but they were great every time we did stop by.
There were only 3 of us, but the 2 br, 2 ba unit has 2 queen beds, 1 twin bed, and a pull out sofa. There's an elevator in the building, and since the unit is on the top floor, it was nice not having to lug our suitcases up the stairs.
It's impossible to list all the great things about the Papakea resort and the unit specifically. Read all the reviews for much more comprehensive assessments. I just know we loved it all and that resulted in an unforgettable week.
We look forward to our next stay at Lou and Patty's little slice of paradise.
