Before you book
What should I check on a Papakea unit page before booking?
Read the notice near the top of the unit page for your dates. The PKC-403 page, for example, carries a guest note that some walkways, paths and elevator access may be temporarily limited and that daytime construction noise may occur during stated dates. The pages do not say what the building letters in unit codes mean, and do not give walking times to the beach, shops or parking. Call 808-568-3270 if those details matter to your stay.
