What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Travelers rave about Kamaole Sands’ location and setting. The resort sits directly across from Kamaole Beach Park III, so it’s an easy walk to swim, snorkel, boogie board, and catch nightly sunsets. Reviewers consistently praise the beautifully maintained tropical grounds, clean pool and BBQ areas (often cleaned daily), and family‑friendly amenities like a kiddie/wading pool, hot tubs, gym, and pickleball/tennis courts. Kihei’s central, walkable location is another standout: coffee, shave ice, casual restaurants, and shops are nearby, and Wailea’s beaches and activities are a short drive.

Most condos feel like well‑equipped homes. Many units are updated, clean, and comfortable with full kitchens, washers/dryers, two bathrooms, and thoughtful beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, toys). Lanais are a highlight—ground‑floor patios open to lawn that’s great for kids, while upper floors trade that for wider ocean or garden views and breezes. Guests frequently note strong communication and quick fixes from responsive hosts/managers (PMI Maui mentioned often). Families in particular love the convenience, space, and resort vibe.

A few themes to keep in mind: units are individually owned, so decor and upkeep vary—many are modernized, while some feel dated or have occasional cleaning or maintenance misses. Air‑conditioning setups differ (some have splits in every room; others rely on living‑room units or timers), and a handful of guests found bedrooms warm without bedroom A/C. Buildings closest to South Kihei Road (especially 10) can have traffic noise, and occasional activity at the adjacent park; interior buildings are generally quieter. Periodic property construction (notably roof work) has caused daytime noise or parking detours for some stays—ask ahead. Also expect a brief front‑desk check‑in and modest resort fee. If these details matter, confirm bedroom A/C, lanai size/view, beach gear included, and any scheduled construction when you book.

Very helpful host with questions about TV and other amenities. Beautiful place across from the ocean park. Nice, safe, area, not too crowded, away from the more touristy Kaanapali Coast.

Very clean. We enjoy this property!

The place is gorgeous! Beautifully renovated and well-appointed. Very clean! We were missing some towels upon arrival, and the management company was quick to bring them by. The one thing is that this condo is closed off from the main grounds. You have access to the pool, but from the deck, you cannot access the main grounds, so you don't have much of a view. The lanai is also really small, making it hard for our family of four to eat outside, which we love to do. I would still stay again, we've visited many condos in this building and this one was the nicest by far!

We truly enjoyed our stay! We were a family of 4 and two grandparents and this condo was amazing for us! We had everything we needed to be comfortable and having the wagon for the beach helped so much with bringing beach chairs and the cooler down!The beach across the street is one of our favourites and the kids loved the pool and kids hot tub! We will definitely be back!

We stayed here for just over 2 weeks. The location was great, KAM beach is directly across and easy and quick to walk to. Overall amenities of the resort was as expected and generally clean and lots of parking. We did have a few issues during our stay, from not receiving any check in information (I had to call for some time while at the airport to try and get it), to broken hair dryer and malfunctioning washer. We’ve been to Maui many times and generally don’t experience such issues so this was new for us. With that being said, everything was addressed before we checked out. The location of the unit is very close to the pool so quite convenient. The unit also had some basic beach gear which came in handy.

Absolutely beautiful condo. The view overlooked the beautiful grounds as well as the ocean. The grounds themselves were beautifully maintained. It was a very short walk to the beach. Matt was excellent in his communication. We had one very minor issue which he took care of immediately. We look forward to coming back to this area and staying in this unit again.

Great spot to relax at or leave from for daily trips. Condo was clean and nicely decorated. The available beach items to use was a nice bonus!

We loved our stay. Only thing that was not "great" was the fact that they were doing construction in the condos on BOTH sides of us. One day we could not be in our condo due to the noise of chipping tile out. It was a Saturday. Monday before we left the other side was very loud

We enjoyed the view from the lanai daily. The kitchen and living room were open concept which was a great feature.Beautiful kitchen and well stocked.The full size stackable washer/dryer was great to use.The pool is very nice and a great place to relax surrounded with beautiful palm trees and blooming vegetation.Parking was very convenient too.We experienced a family emergency during our stay and the hosts went above and beyond to accommodate the change in our itinerary which we were so grateful for.We have stayed at Kamaole Sands several times and this condo would be in our top 3.

It was so quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay there again. Loved being across the street from 3 beaches. Loved the area. Great restaurants and bars close by.

The host was incredibly caring and responsive. The home was exactly as advertised, and had everything we needed for our family of 5's beach vacation!

The condo was very well stocked with things from Tupperware and water bottles to boogie boards and beach towels. The space in general is well utilized and inviting. The kitchen island well placed to be utilized without getting in the way.A few negatives but not much. There was a weird plastic burning smell near the laundry sometimes but when I opened the windows and screen door it blew out pretty quickly. A few knives were not clean and the towel hanger in main bathroom kept falling off.The easy to use programmable thermostat made the temperature of the place perfect all day long. The main highlight of this place, the lanai, is amazing with beautiful lighting and a fan which made it very inviting and comfortable. The view of flowering trees and sunrise clouds is fantastic.The ground floor let me keep my Paddleboard blown up and made for easy access to the pool. When they had the live Hawaiian music at the pool, I heard it from the lanai which was also beautiful. All around a great stay.

Very clean condo unit, nicely set up, well appointed, felt like home. We have been staying at the Kamaole Sands for 20 years, I love the grounds, pool / spa area and family atmosphere. I think Kihei is best area on Maui, has string of 15 or so very nice beaches up and down the coast, wide variety of nice restaurants. I like that Safeway delivers groceries to your doorstep.

I don't consider this unit "beach front". You can see the ocean from partially from the balcony but not from the unit.

The entire unit was lovely, new, clean and super comfortable with 2 full bathrooms, 2 tvs, large island in the kitchen and they even had a drink refrigerator. The washer and dryer was very nice new and convenient. My favorite was the good sized patio area. It was in a great location and the resort was very nicely landscaped too. Sadly, we only had 1 week there but what a treat! Can’t wait to come back!

The unit is great and comes well stocked with everything you would need. Beautiful views of the ocean from the patio and very comfortable beds. While there were a couple issues that came up as a result of other units under construction, the owner and onsite management were very quick to respond and offer support.

We had a great time at this condo in South Kihei on the 4th floor of Kamole Sands resort. It was literally right across the street (easy walk) from Kam-3 beach. Sunset views from lanai. The condo was well provisioned, providing a cooler, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc. Very comfortable for my family of six. Convenient location to explore all of Maui. Would highly recommend!

No beach view, room was in quiet location, well laid out property, beautifully maintained property, close to shops, restaurants, cafes, easy highway access from property and beach access across the street

The unit is on the ground floor right in front of the elevator lobby. The bedroom is at the front of the unit next to the elevator, which caused us to lay in bed listening to people who were checking in/out at all hours of the night and morning. Otherwise it was a good stay

The condo was in great condition with a great location close to pool overlooking resort grounds and pool. All essentials were on hand, as well as beach needs such as coolers, boogie boards, towels, etc. Owner was always accessible to speak to.

Great location! This space is away from the road, which keeps it quiet, and has a view of the ocean and pool. It is walking distance to restaurants and shops, and Kamaoles 1, 2, and 3. The entire complex is well maintained and there is a concierge on-site to schedule any adventures and rentals of paddle boards, pickle ball or tennis equipment. Owner has all you need for a beach outing.

Everything was perfect! Beautiful location and remodeling was appreciated as felt new and home like. Custom finishes and extras in unit were noticed and appreciated. Great AC/ceiling fans and extra fan in loft were working well and kept us very comfortable. Beds were comfortable, even the pull out couch. Nice touches such as Christmas themed wine glasses. Didn’t use but noticed they were there. Thanks for the care and attention to this unit and willingness to share as a vacation location. Would love to stay here again and again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen is very spacious (especially compared to the other 4th floor condos) and we had everything we needed for our 10 day trip. The beds are very comfortable and it was convenient to have a washer and dryer available to use. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay! The location was perfect for our family. The condo was well stocked with dishes, towels and supplies for our stay. One suggestion would be a new and larger fry pan, but other than that, it was perfect. Thank you and we will be back!

Great clean unit in very convenient Kamaole Sands. The property management is very responsive. Everything was good except that the towels provided (bath and for beach) are minimum amount while the washer is small and the dryer really did not work that well. The management gives detailed information prior to checking in including all the supplies but getting just one set of small motel type shampoo and soap for a week stay in today’s Maui rental was a bit surprising. There also was no Kleenex :(However, it is a great place for a group of six to enjoy the beautiful Maui

We have made many trips to Kihei and stayed at several condo buldings there. PROS: Kam Sands is one of the better complexes, with a large and lively pool. Your kids can meet other kids. This unit is somewhat rare in that it has two enclosed bedrooms, versus one bedroom and an open loft as the second BR. This unit is decently updated. Vacasa mgmt made logistics easy. Kitchen supplied pretty well, and chairs, boogie boards, sand toys in outside closet. CONS: this is one of the only units in the entire complex with ZERO view from its lanai, which is blocked by large palm trees. Its lanai is also directly above the office area used by the complex's landscaping crew. They arrived early every day and were quite loud. You also get a fair bit of noise from people walking by below the lanai, given the unit is located on a corner. The TVs in this unit are small and old (not smart, other than the living room). This may not matter, as you are in Maui after all. But we were there during holiday college football, and were underwhelmed compared to what our other family members had in other units. Washing machine is loud AF. A/C unit also old and loud.
