Hana Kai Maui

We were there in early March. Unit #2 Popolana - the best view! I was worried about no AC, bugs (being so close to nature), and mosquitoes in the “jungle”. But it was so much better than I expected. You do have to keep the balcony doors open (screens open or shut) to be able to sleep with no air conditioning. Our room was incredibly clean! Yes, all the furnishings are “dated” but that didn’t matter much. We had been on the long, tense journey to get there, weaving and winding at 10mph all day! It was worth it. We found a great dinner and slept well. Being that close to the roaring waves was worth it; worth the drive, worth the dated furniture, all of it. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave. I could stand on the black rock beach watching the waves crash in forever! It is so peaceful. Again, v

We picked this lovely ocean-front property for its direct beach proximity and access. Hana Kai offers a great alternative to the larger nearby resort, especially given the limited options in the area. The direct proximity to the sand is a major draw. We stepped out of our room to catch a beach sunrise in under two minutes. Also visible from our deck. We stayed in room #1. For the best direct sunrise view, I believe you would want room #3, the counterpart to our room on the opposite side. Wifi friendly, and easy after-hours check-in process. The units are large, featuring ample space, a full kitchen, a large living area, and a huge open-air balcony. This makes the property very attractive, especially for longer stays, with a very reasonable price for the added space and ocean-front locati

The facility and the grounds are breathtaking. The view is absolutely gorgeous of a black sand and pebble Beach so you can knock that must see site off your list just by staying at the hotel. The room was large and comfortable with a full kitchen and a very large balcony Looking over the ocean. Also a small patio in front that we did not go to. We hung out mostly on the back balcony enjoying that gorgeous view. The hotel has very individualized rooms so one is not like the other which you can see if you search for available rooms on the website. Our room was 101 and I would have to say that it was tastefully worn. Not exactly in tiptop shape, but probably not a lot different than your house. The mattress on this particular trip was not the most comfortable kind of lumpy and sinking in the

Excellent location. Beach front with amazing views. A few other beaches are walkable from the hotel too. We enjoyed black sand beach, red sand beach, and visiting Haleakalā national park. 4/5 stars due to age of property and no AC. Room was clean and maintained, just dated. We were hoping for a sea breeze but didn’t get much from the upper building. Several fans provided which did help, but it was warm during the day and we stayed late Jan. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Laundry service available if needed but not in room. Lots of food trucks in town for food. 2 small grocery marts as well. Sunrise can been seen from balcony! Beautiful!

We were pleasantly surprised by how amazing our stay was at Hana Kai Maui. After completing the road to Hana we were torn on if we should stay the night in Hana or head back. We popped in here on a whim and are so glad we did. The one bedroom room was so spacious, with a full kitchen, living room, patio dining set, and a second porch. Plenty of sliding doors to allow airflow and privacy. The room was very clean. The beach is right outside your door for amazing sunrise views. It’s a very quiet, relaxing experience. The limited amount of Hana restaurants are walking distance. The employees were helpful and friendly. No notes. Would love to come back and sad we only had one night!
