We loved our stay at Papakea. This unit has fantastic views, lots of space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, washer and dryer, dishwasher, couch bed in the living room and brand new beautiful granite counter tops and tile flooring. Papakea resort does not have a restaurant on site, but there is plenty of restaurants nearby and an ABC store right beside it. The pool area and grounds are very well cared for and they have beautifully maintained gas grills to use poolside, which is awesome!
The bedrooms do not have air conditioning but there is air conditioning in the main room and it does cool the bedrooms down a few degrees and both bedrooms have nice ceiling fans. We were there in August, which can be the hottest month and we were very comfortable with the temperature while sleeping. We did sleep with the windows in the bedrooms closed though due to the noise from outside. It's not an abnormal amount of noise but the Papakea has beautiful heavy wooden doors that shut firmly as people come and go from other units and the bedroom windows face to the hallway. With the bedroom windows open you do get a nice breeze through the unit.
I was tempted to give a 5 out of 5 rating but the bedrooms could use a little TLC as far as bedding and air conditioning. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.
