Aston at Papakea Resort

We had an upper floor corner unit with sweeping views of the ocean in three directions. The view was outstanding. The balcony was big and we used it everyday. The pools and hot tubs were warm and fabulous. I enjoyed the quiet pool vibe with relaxed people and no music, just ocean waves. The shuffle board and mini golf were also super great and included in the condo. There are turtles and monk seals right on the beach in front of our unit. So fabulous to see! Remember to stay way back and not disturb them as they rest on shore.

Our washer was challenging to use but we made it work. The dryer was great! The bed needs a fitted bottom sheet so it doesn't curl up in the night. Beach wall is under construction but needed. Resort was replacing sidewalks which is needed but noisy. AC is only on or off, no temperature control.

Our room was advertised as a studio, but we got a one bedroom room. It was oceanfront and spectacular. The barbecues at the pool had a light so you didn’t have to worry about grilling when it became dark out.

Unfortunately, there was yellow fencing around the ocean wall, so it was not very attractive. But that’s probably because of the Hurricane mobile that came through a couple weeks or a week or so before. There’s also a fair amount of construction going on, but at least they didn’t start till 8 o’clock in the morning, which was after I had already woke up.

It’s very well kept resort, outside area looked beautiful, it’s very safe area, close to stores and restaurants and cafes. Easy to walk to the beach.

Our unit looked outdated, it was tidy, but it really needs some updates

View. Location.

Room/unit was not in good condition. Many areas show wear and tear. New microwave didn’t work. Kitchen was way too small. Toilet made noises while refilling with water. Washing machine was very noisy.
