Apr 16, 2025Would stay here again
Excellent location and super clean units. There are various pools to keep kids occupied and the beach just feet away. We were lucky enough to be able to spot whales while having breakfast outside. Another bonus is being able to just sit walk to Dukes to grab a bite, or have it brought to you while sitting poolside

Apr 10, 2025Fatal flaw in an otherwise terrific resort
My family and I just spent a week at Honua Kai and the resort itself is beautiful and our unit was also terrific. The pools were also very nice, and they were in fact the main reason for us to choose Honua Kai. This is our 8th trip to Maui and with our child's main ask being a big nice pool, we stayed at Honua Kai. The big flaw at Honua Kai, which ruined our stay, and will keep us from ever coming back is this; Honua Kai doesn't care about the enjoyment or safety of its guests. Every single day, the pool is full of grown men and teenagers throwing footballs as hard and other kinds of balls at each other, often hitting the other guests, and Honua Kai doesn't care. After my young daughter got hit with a football, I went to the front desk and asked if throwing balls was allowed. She said no, and she would call security to get people to stop. No one came. I went back and they said someone came and didn't see anything, which was a lie. I was there watching security. She said she would send someone else, and this time, someone came and told the people to stop. Next day, same story. But this time, I went to the front desk 3 times and no one came. So out of 5 requests, they came once. All in all, we had to relegate ourselves to a small corner of one of the pools as you couldn't swim like we wanted to, my daughter got hit in the face 3 times, and I saw a baby get hit (mother was furious), many small children almost get hit, a woman get hit in the face by a football and it knocked her glasses off. If throwing balls is not allowed as security and the front desk told me, why isn't there a sign to stop it? People are getting hit every day, families with small children can't use the pools because these people are throwing these balls (including actual footballs) as hard as they can, they block half of the pool, and make the pool unusable for everyone else. And if if throwing balls is not allowed, why doesn't security do walkthroughs and stop people throwing balls. If you have young children and don't want them smashed in the face with a ball, don't go to Honua Kai. If you want to swim comfortably without having to constantly look out for grown men and teenagers throwing balls at you, stay away from Honua Kai. Its an absolute shame as the resort itself is great, but it is clearly very poorly managed as they do not care about the safety and comfort of their guests. Every time we've been to Maui, we've had a great time, from Elua Village, Grand Champions, The Palms. We've never had any issues like this. Wish we would have known in advance that the beautiful pools in the pictures are made absolutely unusable because the staff won't follow their own rules, they won't post signs not to throw balls, and no matter how many babies and small children get hit in the face with balls, it doesn't seem to matter to the management Honua Kai. My advice - until they address this obvious (and simple to fix) issue, avoid this place

Excellent family location
The Honua Kai was excellent, along with the service by Claudine and team. Our kids loved the pools and we experienced the best snorkelling on Maui down the beach towards Black Rock. Our boys are 9 and 12 years old. Recommend the Hula Pie dessert at Dukes restaurant.

Excellent Maui resort
Outrigger Honua Kai exceeded our expectations. We typically get ocean view rooms but this time we had a mountain/resort view 2 bedroom jr suite. It was definitely not bad. We got groceries across the street at times grocery store and cooked breakfast and lunch saving us quite a bit of $$ on our trip. The resort was beautiful and very clean, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! We ate at Dukes a few times, it was excellent and nice to have it right on site. Reservations early are a must otherwise you’ll be waiting a good hour in queue for dinner. There is also a food truck park within walking distance as a dinner option.

Wonderful vacations on Maui
We have not been to Maui for many years and really enjoyed our stay at Outrigger Honua Kai this time. The suites are spacious with huge balconies and full kitchen. The staff at the resort is very friendly and always ready to assist. The front desk is efficient, cheerful and helpful with anything you might need. Special thanks to Claudine who greeted us on the arrival and guided through the whole stay - the first class customer service! We will definitely be back!
