Kia Ora, We are a family of Ten from New Zealand who visited beautiful Maui on 1st Sept. to 8th Sept. 2016 (DEFINITELY NOT LONG ENOUGH). We stayed at the Honua Kai (in two Apartments), the Hokulani Tower, HKH 822 Mountain View and booked through KBM HAWAII. We also had a view of the new construction site but the noise was minimal and did not bother us. The second Apartment was in the Konea Tower, HKK225. This is a BEAUTIFUL RESORT, with spectacular ocean access and views, picturesque gardens, fabulous pools and excellent Resort amenities. While there, we also visited The Sheraton as we went to Black Rock, but i would prefer this Resort. Price comparison wise, Honua Kai through KBM is excellent value and even more so with their FREE vehicle inclusion. I researched the various different Rental Companies and i can assure you that KBM HAWAII Rentals offer an excellent deal.
The Apartment we had exceeded our expectations and was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The master bedroom was HUGE, and the Apartment had every thing you needed and more i.e. dishwashing cubes, washing machine cubes, toiletries, tissues, hand towels, added extras like a cooler and boogie boards, beach towels etc...
The A/C was brilliant and the fans made the temperature perfect and cool. Thank goodness because it was very hot. The bedding was very comfortable and we all slept well. The kitchen appliances and furnishings looked new and in perfect condition. There was more than enough cuttlery for use.
The Concierge 'Jesse' and all the Bell Hop guys were so friendly and helpful and always willing to assist. We were very impressed with this Resort and everything it offered. The Aina Gourmet Market was lovely for last minute groceries but there is also a Times Supermarket across the road (5 min walk). 'Dukes' the Restaurant has amazing food and staff.
We used West Maui Taxis and found them to be friendly and efficient.
Black Rock is a must see. We spent the day on the beach and purchased two chairs and an umbrella from the rental sites and found this to be a necessity as it was very hot. Black Rock is good for swimming and snorkelling, we even saw turtles. WOW.
Old Lahaina Luau is FANTASTIC and a must see.
Whalers Village is 5 mins away by car, as is the Lahaina Cannery and Lahaina Front Street is ten minutes by car, all excellent shopping places.
To KBM, we were very impressed with your services and would definitely book again and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family. Thank you so very much (Ronit, Maria & Kyle) for making our first time visit to Maui a memorable and absolutely FANTASTIC stay. My Family can't stop raving about our holiday.
We love Maui and the People. What a beautiful Paradise Maui is. We can't wait to return to your shores. Mahalo.
