What a wonderful place to stay! The first two nights of our very first Hawaiian vacation were spent at Hana Kai 206 (http://www.vrbo.com/global/siteFrame.aspx?l=154929&k=1), and we could not have been more pleased with our choice. This place is a little romantic oasis in the middle of the beautiful paradise that is Hana. We picked up fresh groceries at the nearby Hana... More

We were in room 201 on April 3rd and it is very nice for two people, probably OK for two adults and two children. The room is very well equipped and thought out. The lanai is wonderful - the view is spectacular, the sunrise must not be missed. The kitchen is just right for light duty eating/serving. Excellent bedding and... More

Stayed at the Hana Kai Maui after a long and fun drive to Hana. Stayed in Unit 105, one queen size bed, looked recently enhanced and updated, very nice sea themed decorations (not the cheesy bright blues and greens either). Great bed, sheets, and pillows. New range, fridge, and convection/microwave. Overall great stay. Staff seemed unfriendly but I was so... More

We stayed overnight at the Hana Kai so we could relax and enjoy our drive to Hana and beyond the next day! A tactic I highly recommend to anyone wanting to get the most out of this adventure. When we arrived at the Hana Kai I was impressed with the beautiful gardens, fish pond and the warm, friendly and helpful... More

I just wanted to make a small correction; Hana Kai charges an additional $15 (dollars) for an overnight stay (not 15%). We are happy to accept 1 night stays, but the associated cost of cleaning and laundering is substantial and this fee helps to offset these costs. This is the only additional fee we have; no parking fees, no WiFi... More

This is a very nice accommodation in Hana. There aren't many places to stay in Hana. This was a return visit for us. All the units are privately owned, so there is some inconsistency in the way they are decorated. None of the units are air conditioned, but have flow through windows and doors to allow the ocean breezes to... More

This may seem a mixed bag review, but let me say that if you want to stay a night or two in Hana, you will not be disappointed with the Hana Kai, but this is where it gets mixed and depends on what you want. If you want beach front room/location thats a bit rustic, where you hear no car... More

Just wanted to add that the bathroom is currently under renovation for this unit....so it won't look like your first apartment, after all ;) Owners are installing a glass shower with tiled floors, new vanity and recessed lighting. Mahalo, Management More

We shared the two bedroom unit #5 with another adult couple. This unit will blow you away. The entrance to the unit is a huge lanai that is open on two sides. One side has sliding slat panels that can be closed for privacy and weather protection. It overlooks Hana Bay (about 75m away) as well as the koi ponds... More

Hana Kai is a condo consisting of 2 separate buildings. It has a very nice location right on the ocean. The front building is closer the the ocean and the back building is slightly up the hill. I chose #202 Alau which is in the back building on the 2nd level. The view from this room is very nice and... More

After a long, leisurely, amazing ride on Hana Highway what a wonderful place to sit back and relax. We were a group of 8 (four couples).

Although listed as a hotel on Tripadvisor, the Hana Kai is a condo. It does not have a restaurant or a bar, and if you don't plan ahead you will end up buying groceries at the exorbitant Hasegawa General Store or Hana Ranch Grocery. Local eateries/bars are very limited. That said, the condos are nicely appointed and have all the... More

Hana Kai is actually classified as a condo-tel by the state of Hawaii. We are a condominium property but we offer overnight stays, daily housekeeping, etc much like a hotel. We do not have a restaurant on site or a swimming pool. We offer free WiFi through Oceanic, but we do sometimes experience interruptions which are beyond our control. Wireless... More
