Great resort

jinjin44 (California) on Jul 18, 2024

This resort is great. The pool is clean and has two spas. One is a family spa and the other is a 18 and over spa. They had activities during the week by the pool free to resort guests. We attended the Hawaiian dancing show and even learned to do a dance. We missed the Friday Turtle Talk but if I went to this resort again I'd make sure to attend. They have BBQs to use but we didn't cook that much at our unit. The complex is right across the street from a nice grassy area and the beach. We found multiple areas around the complex where we could shower off sand from the beach. That's convenient when you're trying not to track sand into your rental. There was plenty of parking even with lots of construction going on in the complex when we were there. The complex is right down the street from lots of food, shopping, and multiple beaches.

You May Never Leave!

michaeljay2016 (San Antonio, Texas) on Jul 07, 2024

Stayed here in late June through early July. Amazing property, condo, and location! You need a gate code to enter the property. There were in the middle of fixing several units roofs while we were there, but this did not diminish the ambiance or slow anything down. About 1000 feet from the beach. We stayed in unit 9. Almost everything is within walking distance. Parking is included in the stay. However, parking in not the best outside of the resort. We stayed in a 4th floor 2-bedroom loft with a hideaway bed. Spiral staircase in the middle. It has an ocean and mountain view. The room had chairs, towels, a boogie board, and other items you could use at the beach for free (we donated the snorkel gear - enjoy). They offer tennis and pickleball. It cost $10 +tax to rent pickleball items (sign up in the lobby). The Wi-Fi was not the best, but it did not deter form anything. My only complaint was that the front desk staff were very robotic. Always had a smile and didn't do anything wrong, but we were visiting paradise...they obviously live there and it might be just another day to them. We stayed in Oahu for 3 days before this and even though it was overwhelmingly touristy, they made us feel like we were on vacation. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who is thinking about staying in Maui.

Pretty location, undesirable unit

angelaeW4547CV on Apr 07, 2024

The location and condo grounds were great. The condo itself was not, unit 7-104. One of the two showers had no damage water pressure making it not useable. We chose this location because there were two bathrooms/showers, yet we only had one. The faucet in the main bath leaked all over as well making it difficult to use. The microwave did not work at all and was inconvenient after we bought microwaveable food for quick breakfasts. We tried to use the oven instead and it hardly worked. The pull out bed was not comfortable at all. We had to stack pillows on the frame to keep the frame from falling back inside the couch. The description advertises snorkeling equipment but none of it sealed so it was not useable. Other than the actual living space, the area was nice.

Location! Beautiful grounds! Beach!

Swtjess (Blaine, Minnesota) on Mar 05, 2024

Location and manicured landscaping and grounds is what makes this place stand out. We thought the location was fantastic being right across the street from the beach and walking distance to dining, bars, grocery, gas and convenience stores. We took full advantage of the lovely bbq areas which were all very clean and well maintained. Pickle ball or tennis? Yes please, they offer free use of courts and free lessons and the gentleman that runs it is very nice and patient!!! There is a concierge on site to help you book activities, we booked a luau and use of paddle board. Our unit was a 2 bedroom with a loft 3 bathroom with an ocean and courtyard view. My only minor complaint was The WiFi was terrible and desk staff not very friendly. Everything thing else was perfect for our group and I would stay here again.

Great Family Vacation Location!

SLLBLAWLESS on Mar 03, 2024

Unit 7-410. My family (Two Adults, two girls 19 & 17) spent a beautiful week in Maui staying at Kamaole Sands. It’s a fantastic location within minutes walk to the beach and many other restaurants and shops. Easy access to the highway for day exploring too. Many families around enjoying the pool, and family style BBQ areas and just walking the pathways. Quiet at night and also during the day. We had no problem finding chairs at the pool, there is staff going around tidying up and keeping things in order all day. Bathroom facilities were your typical pool restrooms. The two separate family/adult only hot tubs were also a nice option. We really enjoyed the Wednesday hula dancing and live music. A very easy complex to get around, not too big! The pool is cool, but very refreshing. Lots of sun and also many shade options available. There is also a small kids wading pool in a shady area. There is a spot at the pool to rent beach toys, chairs etc. 7-410 condo is on the 4th floor in building 7 facing the gardens and with a very slight ocean view, easily accessible by the elevator and directly next to the stairs. Parking stall was included and very close to our room. The grounds are beautifully maintained and very clean. The views of the grounds and the mountains in the distance while sitting out on the lanai either early morning or later in the evening are just gorgeous. Watching the sky change at sunset and the stars come out was one of the best parts of the day. Minutes walk to the beach. Zero bugs, we barely saw even a mosquito the whole time we were there. The morning wake up call by the resident Mr. Rooster kept us laughing, but wasn't anything crazy! This particular condo is wonderful for a family of 4, or even 6 if people don’t mind sharing a bed! The upper loft bedroom with King bed and bathroom, lower level room with two double beds and bathroom. Beds were very comfortable, the AC was glorious to come into on a hot day, but the option to open the front door and screened lanai door to let the tropical breeze flow through was equally as nice. Lots of space to spread out and relax. Small lanai with a table and 4 chairs. We did read in previous reviews that the heat from the AC unit in the outdoor closet does make the lanai quite warm, but we just turned it off, opened the doors and let the breeze keep the place cool. The kitchen was fairly well equipped and had everything you would need for your stay. They do provide you with some basics of toilet paper, paper towel, laundry pods, bathroom towels, hand towels, face cloths, etc. There were 4 big beach towels and 4 beach chairs provided. No umbrella, no boogie boards, no cooler. As these units are rented privately, each one provides different things to their renters. These were the few things we wish we didn't have to purchase when we arrived. There were also cards, books, games available. 3 televisions and wifi was included. We would have liked to have double the beach towels and more beach items available for our stay. In suite laundry is fantastic. We walked to the beach across the road daily and there are many options for walks! A great beach walk along the shore with turtles just to the left towards Wailea. Easy access to some whale watching tours and crater snorkelling tours within walking distance. 10 mins down Kihei road are some great little cafes to pick up a coffee and some baked goods on the way back from our morning walk. We did have a rental car, but could easily get food close by. If you did want to drive there are tons of great restaurants very close by. We loved Threes Kitchen. The BBQ areas were full nightly with families, strangers making new friends and just a wonderful atmosphere, it was nice to hear the laughter and chatter coming from there in the evenings. We would highly recommend this complex and really enjoyed our stay. It is obviously very well loved by the owners and everyone that stays there. We met many people that stay there long term, or keep coming back! We booked through Coldwell Banker Island Vacations and when we arrived there was a very nice basket with chips, chocolates and coffee waiting for us. Check in was simple at the front desk and the friendly staff provided us with some information and a discount coupon for the nearby Foodland. There are also tennis courts on the property with daily tennis lessons and pickle ball. We didn't take advantage of this, but there seems to be quite a few people that play regularly. We booked through Coldwell Banker Island Vacations and when we arrived there was a very nice basket with chips, chocolates and coffee waiting for us. Overall a great stay and we would absolutely stay at this property again. My whole family agreed it's a solid 9/10. The only thing missing were the beach items!
