Kamaole Sands - Maui Condo & Home

We stayed with family here and had a nice time. We enjoyed the BBQs, pickleball and accommodations. But what was a real treat was the hula on Wednesday. Four of us went up for the lesson! We had a great time. This hula lesson was a highlight of staying at Kamaole Sands.

Kamaole Sands is positioned across from an idylic beach, kam2, so an easy minute walk from the hotel entrance. There are no shops or restaurants very close. Our ground floor apartment was excellently positioned at the front of the complex with a lanai overlooking manicured grounds, a huge fountain, and the ocean between the trees. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped with kitchen and laundry. It was dark and a bit run down but fine for a few days for our stopover between the mainland and Australia. The pool facilities were overrun by kids- Kihei seems to attract mostly families- so the pool and hot tubs were full of small kids in underpants, not very appealing. But the beach is great for a swim instead. I am not a big fan of Maui, not very pretty other than amazing Haleakala, and not sure I would go back to either the island or the resort, as we prefer Kauai, big island and Oahu. The hotel was very difficult to find on google. The side entrance is closed and there is no signage to tell guests where else to go. Best to enter from south Kihei rd.

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.

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.

Overall we were very happy with the apartment. We did feel that the couch has seen better days and was very lumpy and uncomfortable to sit on. And the mattress in the bedroom wasn’t very comfortable at all. But those were minor and we enjoyed our stay.

Kamaole Sands is hands down our favorite condo development in Maui--in front of one of the best beaches on Maui--Kamaole III. Lifegaurded beach with good boogie boarding waves on one side and a gentle, turtle filled cove on the other side. Each condo is individually owned. We found ours thru RentalsMaui*com. Good prices, Nice condos and even nicer people.
