Honua Kai - our home on Maui

Our home on Maui was the Honua Kai resort, this is the same resort where Chris and I stayed 2 years ago.  It's an amazing resort. This time, the second tower was finished and the grounds had added 2 new pools and several more hot tubs and koi ponds! It was just as beautiful as we remembered and were happy to be able to share it with the kids.
Here is our room - there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one on each side of the picture. Next to the kitchen, hidden behind the wall on the right is the washer and dryer. It was really nice to have those in room to be able to dry towels and swim suits!

This is the view from our lanai, which ran the whole length of the condo.  Each bedroom had it's own door to the lanai and the  living room was just one big banana door to the lanai.

Here is Chris on the way to the pools, stopped at one of the koi ponds


Baylie, taking a break from the water

Kenna hanging out trying to get a tan

Ali's favorite part about this resort was the slide, she would count how many times she would go down it - on one day, she was at 62!  We couldn't keep her off the slide

SPLASH!!

Swimming back to the steps to go down, again!


Jace has found another koi pond right near the pools.  He loved the fish and never tired of seeing them!

Jace, practicing his boogie boarding before we headed out - and we have Baylie learning to snorkel in the bath tub!

Playing around in the pool 

 Such a beautiful pool

The flowers on the grounds were amazing - all types and colors

They also had great flower arrangements inside the resort, this one is in the lobby

More hibiscus

We saw this rainbow one day in between the two towers that make up Honua Kai.  I loved it!

This was my view from the pool area looking out towards the ocean....... doesn't get better than this!

We had an amazing time at this gorgeous resort and it was so hard to have to leave - Chris joked that a tent on the beach was in our price range should we decide to relocate - that was pretty tempting knowing we were coming home to snow and cold!

  4. That looks like a great home away from home! What do you say we all go in together (you, Kara and us) and buy a condo and then we can rotate going every few months! Except you and Kara will have to fund it, and then how about Dave can be your free PA? Haha! If there wasn't so much else to see on Maui I would have wanted to stay right at your condo the whole time! Looks so perfect.
