My family and I stayed at the Papeka
Ocean Resort from Sept 18 - Sept 26,
2009. We were very happy with the condo
and even more surprised to find how
fully furnished it was. There was even
little sandcastle buckets we used to
build a sand turtle on the beach which
is only about a 5 minute walk away. The
swim pool at the resort also has a BBQ
we used one of the nights for a nice
evening BBQ. I highly recommend this
property and look forward to going back
to Maui. |

| Papakea was a great resort and this condo had everything we needed to enjoy our stay on Maui! Beach gear, towels, dishes and everything else we might possibly need - my personal favorite - wine corkscrew :-). The view from the lanai was wonderful too. Would recommend to anyone who wants to come to Maui to relax or play. |

Thanks Jan,
Our family stayed at Papakea Resort from March 20-27th,2009. The resort itself is beautiful, lush gardens, pools, hot tubs, putting greens etc.Jan has gone out of her way to make the unit perfect. It is very clean,comfortable and very well stocked with linens, dishes,beach towels,coolers and so on. It has everything a family could need. The view from the lanai is amazing, it is truly the best of both(ocean and garden) we loved watching the whales while relaxing outside. Jan's Maui ToDo list was so helpful!!!We referred to it time and time again. Our teens loved the lofted area. They really enjoyed having their own space and t.v. Perfect for teens!!!The Papakea is located so close to many beautiful beaches and great attractions.Thanks Jan for the Best Family Vacation Ever!!!! The Summerland Bohlken's. |

Aloha Jan,
I enjoyed the condo from Oct 24 to Nov 3, 2008. It was the little things we really appreciated: the kitchen was well-stocked and there were many beach towels, coolers, etc. The location is great with a lovely view of both the garden below and the ocean, and amenities are closeby - there's even a health food store just 5 minutes away. Your To-Do list was incredibly informative and helpful for my first Maui trip.
Mahalo nui loa and a hui hou!

Jan,
Our stay February 22 to March 10 was excellent. The weather was perfect, the whales playful and plentiful, and the condo very comfortable.
We have visited Papakea many times and plan to return next year - the experience and Aloha is unbeatable.
See you next year and Mahalo!

Dear Jan,
What a wonderful stay we had at your Papakea Resort in #C-402! From the minute we walked in we couldn't believe how beautiful the view was from the top floor balcony. We were able to let the windows open and the breeze was wonderful. We thank you for all your tips on what to do and see. Thanks , too, for having the kitchen well equipped with what we needed. We really enjoyed grilling out in the evening down by the pool!! We would highly recommend your place to anyone visiting Maui! Thanks , again, Larry and Peg Stevens

Aloha Jan. Just wanted to comment on your wonderful condo. It offered everything we could ever expect. It was a perfect place to base our island holiday from. We had 12 days to explore the islands and truly appreciate Maui in particular. Every area and resort we saw did not compare to what we had offered to us at Papakes. We also want to thank you for allowing us a late check out whicjh allowed us to enjoy our final day at the resort. We look forward to being able to return in the future and we will definitely contact you for our accomadations again. Mahalo.

| It was a great stay at C402. Living on the top floor gave us best view of the beach. AC was nice. Best of all, Jan kindly allowed us to check out late as we have late evening flight, which gave us a lot flexibility. Strongly recommanded! |

| Great price! Great view! Beach toys were nice to have! Mexican restaurant accross the street had great nacho chips. Java jazz coffe was great too. Thanks Jan for the "To Do" list. Snorkeling was wonderful, helicopter trip was scary but so cool, the kids loved it too. Papakea Resort was beautifully kept. Beach was great cause we don't like sitting in the sand. Sunsets were beautiful. |

| The place was perfect. Loved all the extras, the cooler, body boards, the AC. Plenty of space for two adults and two grown teenage kids. A bonus is the owner's "to do list" that we used everyday for activities and places to shop. Highly recommend!!! Great Value!! |

| Papakea C402 met all of our expectations. We had a great time in Maui and it was great to have this place as our home base. Thanks Jan. |

Aloha Jan, Thanks so much for making our stay in Maui pleasant.
Your condo was wonderful, competitively priced and had everything. The kitchen accessories, towels, BBQ grills, supplies and beach toys made it feel like home. The condo was very clean, had beautiful grounds, great views, on site activities, and was close to beaches and Lahaina shops/food. Jan, your “to do” list was very helpful too! Snorkeling, surfing, bike trip, and boat trip filled our days. Sunday’s putting tournament was an unexpected blast too. Wish we could have stayed longer. We shared both J-104 and C-402 between two families and that worked out great. 10 days was not enough. I would call you again for my next trip. Mahalo from Ken, Wendy, Stephanie, Eric.

Aloha Jan,
We just wanted to say Mahalo for the GREAT time we had in Maui and at Papakea. We agree with all the comments below, you have a wonderful condo. The lanai was our favorite aspect as we spent every morning and evening sitting and enjoying the awesome views of the ocean and sunsets.
Thanks again for a wonderful 12 days.

Aloha, Jan,
I don’t believe I have thanked you since returning from my trip to Maui the first week of May. Papakea was absolutely wonderful! Both condos had their advantages—J-104 was fun because of the back door access to running out to the beach and C-402 because of the ocean and sunset views. I’ve been telling everyone that I have found the perfect place to stay on Maui. What a wonderful vacation destination!!!
I was impressed with the considerate behavior of all the guests at Papakea as well as the friendly and thoughtful staff. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the condo had everything we needed.
And finally, personal thanks to you for accommodating our last minute reservations and desire to be near our relatives. Your effort and solutions are appreciated, as were the wonderful directions and activity recommendations!
Mahalo,
Kay Phelps

| This unit is perfect for a small family and has lots of beach toys. The view is great and the grounds are beautiful. The Papakea is a wonderful condominium, with plenty to do for all and it is very close to shopping. |

| Fabulous location - excellent ocean view. Unit is very comfortable and well maintianed by owner who is responsive to guests. The loft provides a great spot for additional sleepers - has own TV in loft as well. Close to grocery shopping, ideally located for access to roads to many attractions. Papakea resort well cared for - pools, hot tubs, BBQs, shuffle board, mini putting (need your own golf balls - clubs are available in unit). Yoga and swimmercize classes offered at no cost. On site activity service available to help you book any attractions you would like to take in. We made use of cool chest in unit for picnics up the coast. Great value for the cost. |

Aloha Jan--
We enjoyed our 3 week stay in your lovely 4th floor unit. We especially liked the view over the lagoon and pool and the ocean---we could see the whales spouting and breaching. Papakea is a great resort and is convenient to many nearby attractions. Paul walked to the Kapalua West Maui Airport almost every morning to keep in shape and to enjoy the view from up there. We wish that we had had some of our family with us to occupy the loft area of the unit and enjoy Papakea and Maui. Thanks.
