“Mostly Terrific”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2013

Just returned from a week at the Sands of Kahana Before I get to a couple of significant drawbacks you really need to know about, I want to emphasize that we were really very happy with this property. The staff were all exceedingly friendly and efficient. The covered parking was very much appreciated. Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo was... More

“Nice Place for the Money ... No Air Conditioning”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2013

We are presently staying at the Sands of Kahana as part of a break-away week purchase through HSI. The resort is nice, but quite dated. The weather is nice, but these units are not air conditioned ... in fact I don't believe any of the units are air conditioned. This means you have to have your windows open to allow... More

“Spacious timeshare”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2013 via mobile

We booked this timeshare via RCI and were very pleased with our visit. Our family of 3 stayed in a two bedroom, two bath in building one on the fifth floor. Our room had a wonderful ocean view. The unit had a huge kitchen and living space. The only issue I had with the room is that the master bedroom... More

“Room quality varies dramatically”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013 via mobile

The rooms vary significantly (I got to see four of them) depending if the unit is a timeshare or privately owned. The biggest issue with the timeshares is that they do not have air conditioning, just ceiling fans. The units stay very warm, even with the windows open. The grounds are descent and there is free underground parking, which is... More
