Always impressed!
The Papakea will always be one of our favorite places to stay on Maui! It is nice and quiet-and a great location near the town of Lahaina! It feels like home in these nicely decorated condos. Beautiful ocean and garden views-and great barbeque areas near the pools. Great hoel service too!

Nice, fine
We generally had a good experience at the Aston Papakea. It is an older resort, and both condos we stayed in had guestbooks from the owners where we could leave comments. The check-in was easy, and the Expedia representative in the lobby helped us get our tickets to an event we had booked, which was convenient. The grounds and view were lovely - we looked out on a koi pond and the ocean beyond. Both of the condos were clean, but as we were getting ready to check out, we found a cockroach in the kitchen of one of them. That grossed me out, but everything was so clean that we still would go back, probably. Very close to Napili and Kaanapali and lots of great snorkeling - Snorkel Bob’s is across the street.
Hot and thirsty? Go the LocalBoys Shave Ice in Lahaina - on Front street about a block south of the Banyan tree and get any size or flavors. They shave this stuff by hand in the old-fashioned way - it is flaky and light, like eating snowflakes! The flavors are intense, and get the sweet cream they put on top - awesome! This is not like other shave ice made by machine - there is no granularity, unlike a snow cone. A very Hawaiian experience. Go sit under the Banyan tree at 4:30 and listen to the myna birds who all fly in there and sing together. Unbeatable.

Best deal on Maui
This was our first trip to Maui, We stayed 8 nights Oct 16-23th 2009 and have no regrets. Maid service was A+, Kithchen was a big plus with a supermarket within walking distance. Beach has a seawall but the next adjoining beach goes south for 1-2 miles. This unit is someones condo that Aston rents out, feels like a time share but no pushy salesmen (what a relief). Ground are immaculate. Rates are near impossible to beat. Location is approx. 2 miles from Whalers village (upscale shopping) which provides a nice boardwalk along the ocean also. Would stay again.
