Aston at Papakea Resort - Maui Island

We got upgraded from a studio to a one bedroom, which was nice. The room was clean. Only thing is the air conditioner was in the living room and the bedroom was on the other end. We had to blast the air conditioner to cool the bedroom. Otherwise, I am thinking of bringing my family there for a getway since there is a fully equipped kitchen and the market […] is across the street. It was peaceful. Læs mere

We loved the Papakea! My wife and I were looking for a good compromise between cost, location, and amenities, and we certainly found it! The Papakea is located on a quiet, cozy recessed drive away from the main highway. Most of the occupants were families with kids or older couples. The cost of the room included free wi-fi and free parking, which was […] great since most other hotels/resorts in the area charged separate fees for each of those amenities. Our room was clean and comfortable, and was only serviced when we requested it. The kitchen is GREAT because we didn't want to have to eat out for every meal (especially breakfast), and it was fuly stocked with tableware, silverware, pots, pans, utensils, etc. The room also included a few used books, games, and puzzles, which were nice ways to wind down the evenings. The Papakea doesn't open up to a beach of its own, but the neighboring hotels did, and it wasn't a very far walk to get to the open sand and ocean. It's a short drive from the Papakea to other destinations, such as Lahaina. The Papakea is also within walking distance of grocery stores, restaurants, a post office, and rental shops (for snorkeling gear, boards, etc). GLUTEN-FREE: My wife must eat a gluten-free diet, and the Papakea is a short walk from a great natural foods store (the Farmers Market), and is right across the street from an italian restaurant (Pizza Paradiso) that has excellent GF pizza crust and other GF menu options.

Very beautiful beach view and hotel garden view, they also offer small amentities like golf, swimming pool, and jucuzzi. Full kitchen supplies, might be great for family gateway where you can cook. Also have laundary in your room. Very convenient. […] Small restaurants and grocery malls around. Læs mere

We would book again- simply put. For the high season on Maui, rates were reasonable. The place is a little older and therefore a few things were pretty 80s like the wallpapered rooms and slightly worn cabinets but that is the only even slightly negative and it is hardly worth the mention. The place was spacious, well equipped, nicely furnished, very […] clean (matters much more to me than retro wallpaper) and very comfortable. For a 1 bedroom, full living and dining area and full kitchen, you won't find a better deal on Maui in February. I took a chance via a hotels web site and was very pleased. Don't let the lack of 5 stars fool you. It was great. Læs mere

We liked our unit - but next time, will ask for a sunny location. (Missed the sun, we did.)My biggest complaint is a small one: the paper person thought it was his/her job ti wake us up at 5:30 am. Am told there are less expensive ways to book this unit - will explore this and if savings are substantial, be vocal online.

Our bed was old and so uncomfortable we hardly got any sleep. And you couldn't move in it it made so much noise it sounded like it was falling apart. We didn't find the complex as clean as it could be even after the room and foyer was freshly clean there was a lot of places that were missed. Not much attention to detail.

I have stayed in other Aston resorts, but this was my first stay at the Papakea. I would stay again. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had an ocean view room which was awesome! The location of the hotel is convenient, within minutes of Lahaina. You have to pay an amenity fee regardless of whether you use the extra amenities such as the safe, […] dvds, games etc, so in my opinion, that's a drawback. However, you do not have to pay daily parking which is an advantage. The last comment I would make is we made the effort to collect trash off of Ka'anapali Beach through a volunteer program. We got back after dark, so we left that bag of trash on our lanai overnight because we were to count the pieces and type of trash. We were "greeted" the next morning by an Aston Papakea Security person who was quite unfriendly who simply said "you have a blue bag on your lanai. You need to remove it immediately. You cannot have anything stored on your lanai." I apologized and did remove it. When I check the rules they hand you when you check in, this rule is buried under the title "No signal flags". I felt his reaction was a little unjustified and very unfriendly. I think he could have been a little more diplomatic about it. I had spent part of my vacation time volunteering for a good cause only to be "scolded" for leaving a bag on the lanai. I thought that was very poor customer relations. Læs mere

The Aston Papakea is a nice, if a bit aging, property. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room (individually owned condo) needed a bit of repair, but nothing that detracted from a great stay. I would say the biggest surprise was that a property this large does not have a restaurant or bar, although you can walk next door to a sister property. […] It is close (walkable) to the market and a nice park. Although we had a great view of the ocean, you have to walk a ways for beach access (sea wall in front of property). Overall, very nice stay and we saw a ton of whales from our lanai. Læs mere

I love this property, my fourth time here! Great location, landscaping is awesome, staff and our housekeeper "Judy" was through and friendly.

We had to drive in order to get to a nice sandy beach. There […] was a pool and spa available to us which was always clean and well maintained. The air conditioning unit was very loud and the ceiling fans help cool the rooms but there wasn't much circulation of the cool air. We had to keep bedroom doors open and balcony door open as well. We had to turn up the TV extra loud when the air came on and down when the air went off. One disappointment was that our ocean view room was blocked by a big tree. We had to stand at a corner of the balcony in order to view the ocean. This visit was with mom, brother and sister-in-law. Læs mere

We booked an oceanfront studio. We walk into out dated decor. The room had a murphy bed with sheets that weren't changed our entire three days. The checkin staff was not friendly.

You have to sign a waiver saying you will not smoke on the property and there were smokers everywhere. Even on the beach, which by the way, is nonexistant. They have the entrances blocked.

I got an amazing room upgrade which was so nice. I was right on the ocean. The property is nice, clean, well maintained. I wanted to check in 1.5 hours early as I had all kinds of meltables in the car and was greeted by a somewhat snarky front desk person. To be fair she was much more pleasant upon check out. I also requested an hour late check out […] and was denied this. I don't get the impression they are very flexible. They were doing cable updates on the building I was in and I was hoping for some privacy and to not deal with a two day open schedule for the workers to stop by.

In fact I don't deal with this at home, who can sit around and wait all day? They didn't inform me of this until after I checked in. Anyway other than that a great stay. My room was amazing and well equipped to cook. I think most of the units vary however since they are condos that are privately owned. Læs mere

We loved it, and plan to come back. Having free DVD and PlayStation 2 game rentals meant my husband was never bored. The pool and hot tub are clean, and the location is right next to the beach.
