KBM Resorts: Honua Kai Konea HKK-209 Ocean Views Great for Families Includes Rental Car Overview
Honestly, when I first pulled up to Honua Kai, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a place with such a mouthful of a name – KBM Resorts: Honua Kai Konea HKK-209 and all that. But you know what? Sometimes the best places hide behind the most complicated booking titles. This is basically a condo-style resort setup in Ka’anapali, and I mean that in the best possible way. You’re getting actual space here – not some cramped hotel room where you’re tripping over your kids’ suitcases. Unit 209 has these floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the ocean like you’re living inside a postcard, and honestly, the view never gets old. I found myself making coffee in the morning just to have an excuse to stand there and stare out at the water.
The whole family thing really works here, which is rare – usually “family-friendly” means loud and chaotic, but Honua Kai strikes this perfect balance. The kids can spread out in the living area while the adults actually get to have a conversation on the lanai. And that rental car inclusion? Genius move, because you’ll want to explore beyond Ka’anapali. I drove down to Lahaina for dinner one night (about ten minutes), hit up the farmer’s market in Honokowai, and even made it to that little shave ice place the locals kept mentioning. The resort’s pool area gets busy around 2 PM when families finish their beach time, but mornings are surprisingly peaceful – I had the hot tub practically to myself before 9 AM.
What really sold me on this place was the kitchen situation. I’m talking full-size everything – fridge, stove, dishwasher, the works. After three days of restaurant meals, being able to grab groceries at Foodland Farms and make breakfast felt like a small miracle. The beach access is solid too, though it gets crowded with day visitors from other hotels by noon. Pro tip: stake out your spot early, especially if you’ve got kids who need the calmer water near the rocks. The snorkeling right off the beach is actually decent – not Molokini level, but you’ll see tropical fish without having to book a tour. Check-in was smooth, parking is included (not a given in Ka’anapali), and the unit was spotless. My only real complaint? The air conditioning in the bedroom runs a bit loud, but honestly, with those ocean sounds drifting in, you barely notice after the first night. For families who want space, that perfect Maui location, and the freedom to come and go as you please, this setup is pretty hard to beat.
