We had a wonderful experience. The location could not have been better. Very well maintained daily. Local grocery store and coffee nearby. The kids enjoyed our front row view of turtles and whales. Welcomed with a box of chocolates, a special touch. Mahalo! We made many special memories. 🌺
Debbie & Tammy were amazing! The apartment is excellent and equipped with a washer and dryer (very helpful when island hopping on holiday). The sliding doors open onto the common area which faces the sea. We regularly saw green turtles swim right in front and got some amazing shots. You could also see whale breaches in the distance directly in front of this apartment. Our stay was great and Tammy gave us a few Christmas ornaments as a memento of our trip that will go up on our 2025 Christmas tree.I ended up having 2 slipped discs, mistaken as sciatic pain, and they were empathetic, provided me with a cold water bottle to rub to ease the pain. My gratitude to Tammy & Debbie for their hospitality and kindness.The apartment and location are excellent and the turtles and whales were icing on the cake that made our stay memorable. We also saw the reflection of the moon on the sea early in the morning. It was amazing! I would highly recommend staying here and will stay again when I visit next. Mahalo!

I can’t say enough about how much my husband and I love Makani Sands. We have stayed here 5 times now and will continue to stay here. The condo was very clean, the views were incredible and the staff are ALL friendly and welcoming.

Amazing location, quiet and peaceful for the most part. Our specific unit, 101, was quite dirty and cluttered with stuff. The closests were full of random things for maintenance. There is also NO air conditioner which was unclear at booking. The grounds are nice- great ocean access for snorkeling, BBQs with a sunset view and the pool was fun for the kids. The view from your unit will be amazing and you are likely to see turtles swimming by. The emoloyees were all pleasant and helpful and they keep the grounds clean. Fellow guests can make or break your stay as this is a small complex. Great neighbors at the beginning of our stay followed by a nightmare group including some staying directly above us in 201 and 301 the last nights of our stay. Yelling outside our unit to one another during quiet hours and smoking at the non smoking property. Overall I would recommend staying here and note that all the units are unique so pick one that has what you are looking for.

The management is superb! I stayed on the bottom floor which makes it some much nicer to just walk out the slider to the ocean feet away. I have been all over the island and done all the activity, staying here makes it nice to stay at home for the day, you have it all right there, snorkeling with turtles, you can take your paddle board out, sunsets are stunning.

The beach and swimming and snorkeling are top shelf. Close to Whalers village and plenty of food options. The grounds are kept up very well. Now the downside ANTS ANTS ANTS, we went and bought ant traps and they were no help. This really should be addressed.

The unit needs a a lot of work. There is so much stuff in the closets that we had nowhere to put our suitcases or things. My husband opened a drawer in the master bath and drawer front twisted in his hand. Front door knob does not lock. The chair in the dining room had a screw sticking up into the seat. The light in the dining room did not work. The toilets were running and screaming when we got there, which was fixed. The garbage disposal did not work, they fixed it. The dishwasher door would not stay open. The bed WAY too big for the room. The light over the bed does not work. The kitchen cabinets are in TERRIBLE shape. The shower faucet is loose. It might be leaking in the wall. Table on deck has a broken leg. It sits on a rock. The drapes are falling off the hooks in both rooms. Can't get them closed all the way. Flood light outside of unit flashes on and off all night.I would recommend the property but NOT this unit.
This is the best vacation my wife and I have ever taken in our 55 years of marriage. The unit we had was on the ground floor, less than 30 feet from the waters edge. The ocean view and gentle sound of the waves where so relaxing. Our unit had every thing you would need and the complex had tables with chairs and lounges overlooking the beach and the beautiful multi shade blue ocean, built in gas bar BQ's for steaks, fish and chicken. One day I went snorkeling just 25 feet from shore of the complex and saw several turtles and tropical fish without having to travel anywhere by car. It was my first time snorkeling and was an amazing experience I will never forget. I am already planning my next vacation to come back here for next year. When you find paradise you must try to come back as many times as you can. I just can't stop smiling every time I think of my stay in Maui and at Makani Sands.
