Staff & management are SO kind and helpful, location can’t be beat, beds are very comfortable. As a Maui resident, this is one of the best deals on island we have found.

We stayed for two nights and the views were absolutely gorgeous! The beds were incredibly soft and comfortable. Coming from Texas, we were a little worried we would suffer without air conditioning, but that wasn't the case at all. It was wonderful to leave the windows open and just enjoy the cool ocean breeze and the relaxing sound of the waves. We will definitely book again!
​Pro-tip for groups: We rented two rooms and ended up in different buildings. If you are traveling in separate cars, it is 100% worth buying a set of walkie-talkies to communicate. We lost cell service about halfway down the Road to Hana, and having the walkie-talkies was a lifesaver for staying in touch on the drive!

I stayed at Hana Kai Maui on my last trip and it was honestly a little slice of heaven. Being able to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean right outside my window was such an incredible experience that I still think about. The room was super comfortable, and having a full kitchen made it so easy to just relax and enjoy the view without needing to go out all the time. It is perfectly situated right on the water, and the whole property has this quiet, laid-back vibe that makes it so easy to unplug and just enjoy the beauty of the island.

We rented Unit #207 from Tom and Viki directly on VRBO. They are fabulous hosts and it was a terrific unit. Everything you need to explore this side of the island and relax. The Black rock beach right outside the window is gorgeous. Remember---rent from them directly. Easy folks to deal with. Cheers

Hana Kai is an absolutely picturesque, laid-back slice of Hawaiian hospitality. Its lush grounds sit directly on a peaceful, pristine black sand beach. Each unit is a modest but very comfortable condo with a fully stocked kitchen (included basic seasonings and even coffee), classic (but at all not dated) decor, comfy bed, and a balcony providing stunning views of the ocean and sunrise. It's quiet with a nice ocean breeze to keep you cool. If it's blistering outside, it may get hot inside since there's no AC, but even people sensitive to heat would be comfortable almost year-round. We left the windows open and loved falling asleep to the waves with a nice breeze. It's not cheap, but it's not outrageous either. My only very minor gripes were that the relatively open shower let a lot of water splash out and that there wasn't the now-standard one plug on each side of the bed. You should also know that 1) this won't be the place for you if you want a full resort and 2) you'll need your dinner situation sorted by 5pm when the businesses all close. As for me, I'd stay again in a heartbeat for the quiet, local comfort.

Stayed at #203 for just one night and loved the experience. Hana is a special place, and Hana Kai made everything easy for us to enjoy it. Beach recovering from the last storm, but was still a nice place to go for a stroll. Bed was comfy, and best of all was the view out of the balcony - we could have spent hours there with nothing else but nature and the sea breeze. Truly wonderful experience, fully recommended.

Stayed at the Hāna Kai 2 nights to avoid driving The Road twice in one day and have leisurely time to check out the parks once we were there. The room was immaculate and well appointed. The lack of air conditioning was not an issue for early February. We slept great! Dinners and breakfasts on the lanai were so relaxing. And the sunrise view! Would definitely stay at Hana Kai again!

We were pleasantly surprised by how amazing our stay was at Hana Kai Maui. After completing the road to Hana we were torn on if we should stay the night in Hana or head back. We popped in here on a whim and are so glad we did.

The one bedroom room was so spacious, with a full kitchen, living room, patio dining set, and a second porch. Plenty of sliding doors to allow airflow and privacy. The room was very clean.

The beach is right outside your door for amazing sunrise views. It’s a very quiet, relaxing experience.

The limited amount of Hana restaurants are walking distance. The employees were helpful and friendly.

No notes. Would love to come back and sad we only had one night!

As a long time kamaʻāina, we love staying at Hana Kai Resort in Hana town. It is so beautiful and peaceful and close to everything – want to go to Hana Bay? Hana Kai is close by/want to go to Wainapanapa? Hana Kai is close by/ want to hike to the cross above Hana? Hana Kai is close by/ want to go to Hasegawa’s General Store? Hana Kai is close – you get the idea.
Another thing about Hana Kai Resort that is little known is their commitment to our community. I operate a local nonprofit that helps the families of seriously ill children that must go off of their home island for major medical treatment (since the Neighbor Islands have very limited pediatric care units). Hana Kai Resort steps up every year to help in their quiet and kind way.
Highly recommended Hana kai Resort

Best sunrise view in Hana! Do not let the non air-condition scare you...the open air allows for a cool ocean breeze in the morning, with a beautiful ocean front to walk along. Bring you water shoes for the walk and visit the general store in town to get your #survivedthehanahighway
