We went to this resort in Feb and it we were pleased with the view. The building is dated and we stayed in a 3 bedroom suite. No A/C Bhutan not needed due to the tradewinds, which at times ripped the window treatments. My only issue was the elevator that kept breaking down during our stay. They really need more... More

Thank you for choosing Sands of Kahana for your first trip to Maui. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Our retro chic architecture is popular with many visitors. We’re happy you liked it too. Your three-bedroom suite offers great views and, at 2,000 square feet, one of the most spacious lodging experiences anywhere in the world. There’s nothing like... More

I have traded my Marriott timeshare the past two years for the Sands of Kahana and never been disappointed. Both times we stayed in a 2 BR/2BA ocean front unit with beautiful ocean views. The units are the largest we have ever encountered from any timeshare trade we have used over the years. We have 2 teenage boys and have... More

We just returned from our first stay at the Sands of Kahana and absolutely LOVED it! I've never seem such huge rooms in a condo and the views are incredible - you can see both Lanai and Molokai, with the sun setting between them every night. Whoever designed these buildings really thought about what guests need - private spaces (every... More

We have been owners now for years and just recently purchased more time as we do really enjoy this resort. However, there is a cat that lives on the premises which is not taken care of. It has been here for years but just recently decided to yowl every morning between 5 and 6 ..in front of our lanai.....up to... More

The restaurant downstairs has THE BEST early bird breakfasts,happy hour,& dinners! Prices can't be beat! Beach is okay ( not great) but suits our needs, & terrific to watch the fabulous Maui... More

We stayed at the Sands of Kahana in May of 2011 but now that I've had a chance to come off of the "high" of the holiday I can write an objective review. Cons: None I can think of. Well, that's not entirely true. We had a 1-bedroom unit (GIANT) and were there for two weeks. During our first week... More

Thank you for visiting Sands of Kahana. In reading your review we began to wonder if yours were the residual “vacation high” remarks of a Canadian just glad to get out of the Great White North after a long winter. Now that you’ve been home a while, we are happy to hear you still feel the same way. We’re glad... More

Big rooms and right on the ocean. Beach isn't the best but not bad. Views are great from ocean front/view rooms. Friendly staff. We've stayed here 7 times. No air conditioning but was rarely an issue with ocean breezes. We always have the 2 bedroom unit.

We stayed at Sands of Kahana for 6 days. Overall, we really liked the SoK, and thought it was a good value for the (very low) price.

Thank you for visiting Sands of Kahana. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Our rooms are famous for their views and spaciousness. At 835-square feet, our one bedroom is considerably larger than most, and our two (1,500 square feet) and three (2,000 square feet) bedroom units are, to quote you, HUGE. We appreciate your feedback and hope you will consider... More

We first stayed at the Sands with our 2 children over 10 years ago. My daughter literally found the place on the internet when we asked her to find a 2 BR in Maui for under $x.

We’re glad you enjoyed the view and cool ocean breeze, likewise our kitchen and barbecue area. We agree it’s nice to eat in once a while. How did the Super Bowl look on our new 42-inch HDTV?
