Sands of Kahana Vacation Club

My husband and I have purchased 4 weeks annual use in an orchid unit and love the Sands and Maui. So if you are looking for an objective review, this isn' it. The units are huge, there's even a washing machine and dryer so you can leave some of the wardrobe at home, the entire family can stay , two bedrooms have king size master suite, two double beds in the the second unit, there are two full baths, and a large kitchen, saves on the food budget, these were condominiums, the place is very clean, the furnishings are being upgraded, the staff is spot on in courtesy and service, the four buildings are ocean front, you are near Lahaina, Kapalua, Napili Bay, and McDonalds, there is a new children's pool, and multiple outside gas grills for cooking. From ocean view and ocean front units you will see whales in season, beautiful sunsets, make dinner with your family, fall asleep listening to the ocean surf, visit Lahaina, snorkel at Honoloa Marine sanctuary and hope you are blessed enough to return to the Sands next year.

Been an owner for 15 years you can say what you want, rate this place but I have been an owner this long and have always had a wonderful stay, there is no perfect place where we always give high marks but there staff is always trying to help in a fast and appropriate way. Love to stay here and also own at the Marriott, yes it is newer but long way to beaches and not as quiet,

Spacious 3 BR unit floor plan (building 4, 3rd floor, garden view) accommodated family travel group nicely. Wonderful views with walls of windows in common spaces and bedrooms. Large, well-equipped kitchen and several great outside grilling areas on grounds. Parking abundant and free. Easy walk to sand beach and easy driving distance to numerous beaches and snorkeling opportunities. Conveniently located near supermarket, restaurants, gas station, and snorkeling/scuba rentals. Units not air-conditioned but tradewinds kept unit very comfortable. Wireless internet not included; subscription to Maui Skywave provided wireless economically. Somewhat noisy (due to open windows), especially the daily garbage truck and the unit location near trash chute. Lanai furniture could be updated and more chairs needed to seat the maximum number of occupants. Quick response from maintenance when window blinds malfunctioned.

Great resort close to the ocean. Perfect for older couples or families. Not a ton of walking just to get to the beach. Check out pictures of the resort. Tennis courts and beach volleyball are perfect for families. Nice and reasonably priced restaurant on the property and McDonalds is one block away. Large units originally built as condos,away from all the big crowds at Kaanapali beach. If you are looking for a nice comfortable, less crowded resort, this is the place for you. This is not a Westin or Marriott but perfect for real families that want to be close to the ocean and don't want to walk for 10 minutes to get to the beach or pools!
