This review is for the Luana Villas. We cannot say enough about how special this property is. Spacious enough to accommodate 5 adults and one teen very comfortably for well over a week. A semi-private pool just steps away. Benefits of being on a large resort property without all of the people (spa, concierge, convenience shop, etc). Highly recommend! A few small watch-outs to consider with this luxury experience: 1. Would be very nice to have a Smart TV in the living room to allow guests to stream what they want to watch. While we normally do not watch TV on holiday, the vibe of this place was so comfy that there were nights we stayed in and made dinner and wanted to watch a movie. We could only do it by going out to buy an HDMI cable and connecting to a MAC. This is a miss. 2. Housekeeping is only available for a $300 fee. So if you stay for awhile (we were there 12 nights) you end up doing a lot of laundry for towels. It would be great to offer a turn of sheets and towels if you're there more than a week. Again, highly, highly recommend this property. Can't wait to go back!

We rent from Maui Resort Rentals and always reserve Honua Kai Konea room 214. Kathy, is the owner and she keeps this place well equipped. Towel rental, wifi, beach chairs and umbrella are all in the room for you to use during your stay as well as BBQ grill kit. The kitchen is stocked with spices, cutlery, service for 8 (so we don't have to do dishes everyday), and even a blender. It has a huge deck with a mountain view. Love this place!

First, 5 stars for KBM who was very responsive and helpful with all questions. I never had to wait long for a response. Our condo H-746 and amenities were just as represented, clean, well stocked with kitchen essentials, towels, laundry detergent, beach chairs, umbrellas and even water noodles. Although our unit was listed as “partial oceanview”, all you needed to do was turn your head to the left for a spectacular ocean view, and look down to see much of the beautiful resort property. A couple of caveats: if you’re not into little kids and don’t want to share the pool and hot tub with all those pampers, there is only one “quiet pool”. Remember it’s a condo resort and very family friendly. Also, KBM offers a free “standard” car rental, which was a VW JETTA. Also a discounted upgrade was available which we took advantage of. It was a Cadillac Escalade. Maui’s parking is horrendous. Stick with the Jetta unless you can park a firetruck. That Cadillac was a beast.

We stayed here back in 2014 with our 3 boys. When searching for a place to stay this time around, we immediately looked for availability at Honua Kai. This resort offers much, much more for the complete vacation experience. The resort is grand, clean, spacious, plenty of amenities to relax. The 3 or 4 pools and a few hot tub spots around will have already relaxed our senses. The grounds are beautiful and tidy. The beautiful ocean is a mere walk across the well-manicured lawns, past the pools, and right onto the golden sands of Maui beach. We can walk to eat or a short drive, both of which offers variety of choices. Or opt for light cooking in the unit or grill on 4 readily available ocean-front huge gas grills. Or choose to savor at the famous Duke's restaurant, right on this property. We rented through Maui Resorts Rentals as we had done previously. They were very responsive to our needs during our stay. Their fee adder breaks down to ~$65/day, so take advantage of their expertise and knowledge should you are new travelers to Maui. We can't say enough as to why we love this resort!

What a wonderful property. We’ve been to Maui many times but first time here. When we return this is where we will stay. Pricey but worth it. Beautiful large rooms/condo. Comfortable beds. Our studio faced courtyard and ocean. Amazing view (see photos). Staff very friendly. The pools (there are 4-5) are great. Dukes restaurant on the property. Quiet end of Kanapali beach. And beach is amazing. Best snorkeling we’ve ever had was right on beach here!
