KBM Resorts: Honua Kai Konea HKK-926 Large Floorplan Updated in 2023 Includes Rental Car

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The sheer size of the unit – and I mean that in the best way possible. KBM Resorts really nailed it with this Honua Kai setup, especially after their 2023 refresh. Walking into HKK-926, you immediately get why they call it a “large floorplan” because honestly, most resort condos feel like fancy hotel rooms, but this actually feels like a home where you could spread out and breathe.

The location on Maui’s northwest shore is pretty sweet – you’re basically nestled between Kaanapali and Kapalua, which means you dodge some of the crazy tourist crowds but you’re still close enough to hit Whalers Village or those incredible Kapalua beaches when you want to. I actually love that they include the rental car because, let’s be real, you’re going to want to explore beyond just the resort grounds. The drive up to Nakalele Blowhole or even just grabbing groceries at Times Supermarket in Lahaina becomes so much easier when you’re not dealing with rental car pickup hassles separately. The kitchen setup really shines here too – it’s genuinely functional, not just for show like some places. I mean, the 2023 updates show, especially in the appliances and finishes, though you can tell this isn’t a brand-new build (which is fine, it has character).

What I really appreciate is how this strikes that balance between resort amenities and actual livability. The Honua Kai property itself has those pools and the beach access that make you feel like you’re getting the full Maui experience, but then you retreat to this spacious unit that doesn’t feel cramped or hotel-sterile. Sure, it’s not a luxury resort in the traditional sense – you’re looking at solid 4-star territory, not some ultra-high-end place – but that 8.0 rating makes sense when you factor in the space, the updates, and honestly, the value proposition with that car included. The trade winds flow through nicely, and you’re far enough from the main road that traffic noise isn’t really an issue, though you will hear some resort activity during peak hours. If you’re someone who needs everything to be absolutely pristine and brand-new, this might not be your speed, but for most people looking for a genuine Hawaiian stay with room to actually live and explore, this setup delivers.
