We stayed for 8 days. Honua Kai is a lovely resort for a family with young kids and is conveniently located in the heart of Kaanapali. Close to the beach, and wonderful pools. Proximity to food trucks and supermarket were also great.
During our stay, we had 2 issues. #1. Cockroaches and #2 Dishwasher stopped working
1) cockroaches(!). As soon as we checked in, we noticed there were roach traps set up in the kitchen corners, by the laundry machine, and even on the countertops. So we made sure that there is no food left in the kitchen to attract roaches to come out and wipe counters every night to make sure not even a drop of water. Yet during our 8 days of the stay, we saw at least 3 incidences of roaches crawling the kitchen counter and/or walls. We also saw roaches in the trash chute room, so it's more of a building infestation than the actual unit. (small black roaches, not big ones)
Some people say it's Hawaii so there are always cockroaches. but I've stayed in plenty of places in Maui (hotels, houses, and condos) over the past 20 years, and know which places have good pest control, and unfortunately, Konea Tower in Honua Kai was not.
As for #2, Dishwasher stopped working at the beginning of our stay, and the property manager couldn't find a repair/maintenance person to come fix it during our stay. This was also unfortunate since we had 2 young kids, so we used the kitchen quite often to cook food for the kids. Hence, we spent a good amount of time dishwashing and something we would rather want to avoid during our vacation.
