    The units are privately owned, and do vary. Some are run down, and some are beautiful. So, we booked #6-204 for three weeks this past February through the Castle management website, where you can pick your actual unit from photos. Rental rates do vary widely, depending on the unit and season. We paid about $340 a night, inc. all the fees and the 10% Hawaii hotel tax (high season). The standard cleaning fee did include a thorough maid visit once mid-way through our stay. With a full-size washer and dryer in the apartment, vacuum cleaner, etc., it was easy to keep the place tidy as we would at home. The AC, in both the bedroom and living room, worked fine, but we did not use it since the place has a floor-through design with screened windows on both ends, ceiling fans in every room, and Kihea is generally pretty breezy. We had a king-sized bed with plenty of extra pillows, two full baths with lots of towels, cable HDTV's in the bedroom and the living room, room safe, a spacious, partial-ocean view lanai with a table and four chairs, plus beach chairs, beach umbrella, foam cooler with ice packs, and beach towels, all of which we left in the car as we traveled around the island. The kitchen was adequate, with a full-sized fridge with icemaker, dishwasher, garbage disposal, stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, bar blender, rice cooker, etc. The tableware and flatware is basic, so you should bring your own personal kitchen knives if you plan to do any serious food prep. The gardens are beautiful, and the grounds immaculate. We had a big mango tree right outside our door. The heated swimming pool was never crowded, nor were the two jacuzzi spas. There's a well-equipped, air-conditioned workout room, snack bar, vending machines, and full-time concierge. Our assigned parking space was just a few steps from the building. The other guests were considerate during quiet time (10PM-8AM). We slept with our bedroom windows open every night and were never disturbed. We have stayed in a number of different condos on Maui over the years, but we return to the Kamole Sands.

    We stayed at this condo building 8 unit 204. The unit had decent enough living room furniture, patio furniture. It's a one bedroom unit with 2 bathrooms it's suppose to sleep 4 people not sure where though. There is no sleeper sofa in the living room. The bed was too soft for me. The bathroom counters and kitchen were redone in granite, but it seriously needs more remodeling. It was nice to have a washer and dryer even though it was too dated. The AC unit was old really loud and rattled but it worked. We were delighted because of the high humidity. The overhead fan itself was insufficient to keep us cool at night. The dishes, cooking utensils, glasses were of cheap quality, well I guess because it's a rental. There was a keurig coffee maker, but the filter had some small holes in it so I put some tissue in the bottom before adding the coffee grinds. The location on the other hand was convenient for us across from the beach easily accessible to the rest of the island. The grounds are very nicely kept up.

    It didn't give the option of no stars. I was mortified with us place . We stayed one night only because we got in late and was too late to go anywhere else . We didn't unpack or even change clothes . The dirt , mold in shower , trash under the foldout which they considered out 2nd queen bed . The mattress was thin and worn , dirty and full of hair . The sheet was too small and didn't cover . Drapes had stains that resembled a murder scene . Bugs crawling in the coffee maker . Our parking space had an old broken down flat tire car sitting in it . Had to park elsewhere and walk . It was out worst nightmare . You must cross a busy street and large park filled with homeless , drunk, drug addicts hanging around . The beach was only rock . We immediately left the following morning and had to fight with Costco travel but eventually got a refund . We drove to the other side of the island and were lucky to find a beautiful place . Don't stay at this nightmare of a place and don't stay in Keihi . It's dangerous and a slum .

    For a one bedroom room, this was fantastic. We chose this place for the added amenities of the pool/hot tub, but it wasn't specified on the website that only 4 people are able to be in the hot tub at a time over the two hot tubs. Out of the 110 units that can have at least 4 people comfortably, there can be up to 440 guests. If you're looking for a place to unwind at the end of the day, this isn't the place for you as your aren't guaranteed a spot to unwind. I would like to add, that each party of 2 is able to stay in the hot tub for up to 2 hours. Shower had hair and smears up top, so it wasn't cleaned from the people before. Baseboards had mold.

    This place was absolutely perfect for our needs. Me and one of my best friend's stayed here for a week and felt right at home. We had a huge one bedroom, two bath condo overlooking the pool and a partial ocean and mountain view. The condo was fully loaded with furnishings, great island decor and appliances like home including a washer and dryer. There were many added perks as well out on the lanai (patio) such as boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and coolers for our convenience while vacationing. We encountered friendly staff throughout the whole facility and had no issues during our stay. The location is absolutely perfectly placed within minutes of the greatest snorkeling spot on the island, Ahihi Bay. Not to mention the multitude of diverse beaches along the way to the bay. Kamaole Sands is a perfect vacation spot and I will definitely revisit and book here again. Yvette Leilani Brownstone Ventura, CA

In comparison to some other brands such as Aman, Four Seasons Maui felt below average given its price point. The resort itself felt small and a bit old. The service felt very below average and inconsistent. One employee would tell you the sun umbrellas at the pools near the bushes are not adjustable while literally 2 mins later another employee came and adjusted the sun umbrella next to me and also mine when I asked. When we went to the adult pool we were told by one employee that we needed to be on a waitlist. After 3 hours when we finally got notified that it was our turn and went back we noticed other guests just literally went and grabbed empty benches and staffs were just setting the benches up for them(no, they didn't even know there was a waitlist)... Our canoe experience at the last day of our stay got canceled due to high wind and the concierge never notified us etc. Many employees gave me the vibe that they don't really care. They just gave me fake smiles and robotic responses. Maybe Amond would take better care of us...if he is still alive... The view was very amazing. We even spotted whales many times.

Their suites are spacious and the lanai is perfect to watch sunsets every night. The pools are crowded and I did not use them but I did like the beach and service throughout the hotel. Check in was an easy process. Lux in particular was super nice and helped me deal with an issue I was having. They have a nice gym, I didn't use it as I having too much fun on this trip! Plenty of restaurants on site. Self parking is free and plenty so valet isn't necessary. My advice is to call the concierge before you arrive and book the complementary canoe ride as it gets filled fast. I called them from LA 2 weeks before arriving and got the last spot. It was one of the highlights of my trip! If you like great service, amazing views and like staying in South Maui, this is one of my favorite hotels there. I will definitely be back!

If you're a couple and you are there for more than two days you'll appreciate the ability of the early riser to get up, make some coffee and hang on the lanai without disturbing the one of you who likes to sleep in. The bathroom was large and luxurious and supplied with really nice Le Labo soaps, shampoos and lotions. In addition, the property is immaculate and the public spaces are beautiful. There are three attractive pools -- one of which is adult only and there's a beach with attended lounge chairs at the bottom edge of the property. Our stay included the breakfast buffet, which had a wide assortment of choices that were nicely prepared. A downside of the hotel is that they host a number of corporate events and it can sometimes feel a bit crowded. Many mornings during our stay, there was a good size line at the host's station to be seated for breakfast. And once we were seated, navigating the buffet stations was a bit hectic. Similarly, the lounge chairs on the beach are within inches of each other. When sitting on your lanai, the music from one corporate cocktail event or another provides the soundtrack for the evenings. And one final nit -- the Nespresso capsules in the room were very nice, but the coffee served at breakfast was abysmal. So don't get me wrong. This is a very nice place and we had an enjoyable stay. But if you're sensitive to having your own space most of the time, this might not work for you.

Our room was clean, comfortable, and very nice, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and hardworking. We explored many other hotels while we were on Maui, and honestly, none of them compared to Grand Wailea. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, expansive, and classic. I don't agree with the reviews saying it feels run down. It isn't ultra-modern, but it has a grand, timeless, classic resort feel. The beach out front is amazing. We explored a lot of beaches on Maui, and I never found one I liked better than the beach at Grand Wailea. The resort itself also feels unmatched in size and beauty. No other hotel we saw had the same expansive grounds, pools, landscaping, and overall resort feel. That said, the biggest downside was how much everything felt overpriced. I understand Maui and luxury resorts are expensive, but Grand Wailea sometimes felt like it was nickel-and-diming guests. Valet parking is $75 per day, and when you add in tipping every time you retrieve a rental car, it gets frustrating fast. On Saturday and Sunday evenings, valet was also very slow. One night we waited over 25 minutes. The valet staff were clearly working hard, but they seemed understaffed for the volume of guests. The food pricing was also hard to justify. At the marketplace/counter-service options, we saw coffee for $7.50, hot dogs for $26, hamburgers for $32, and 12-inch pizzas around $30. You also often have to wait in a long line, and if one person is making coffee drinks, it slows the entire line down. Olivine looks beautiful, but the prices were extremely high, including a personal sausage pizza for $38. Considering the mixed reviews, we could not justify eating there. While we were there for over a week, the resort restaurants looked quite empty every day. I truly think if the restaurant prices were even 30% lower, many more guests would stay on property to eat instead of walking across the street to places like Manoli's or Island Gourmet. The pool area was beautiful, and we appreciated little touches like seeing free pineapple passed out at the pool one day. The idea was nice, although the execution could have been better since the server was putting wet pineapple chunks directly into people's hands. We also wish the waterslides stayed open later, especially for families. Grand Wailea does offer free Nespresso coffee in the room, which is nice, but after seeing one too many social media videos about people misusing hotel coffee makers, I personally can't bring myself to use in-room hotel coffee machines anymore. One extra service I would gladly pay for is a paid hospitality suite or shower room option for guests with late flights. So many flights out of Hawaii leave late at night, and after checking out in the morning, it would be incredibly helpful to have a clean, comfortable place to shower and freshen up before heading to the airport. Overall, we loved Grand Wailea and would absolutely recommend it. The staff, room, beach, pools, and grounds were wonderful. I don't understand all the bad reviews because our experience was very positive. The resort is beautiful and memorable. My only real complaint is that the food, coffee, parking, and extras are priced so high that it pushes guests away from spending money on property. Full restaurants would be more profitable than beautiful restaurants sitting empty.

We informed the hotel in advance of our special occasion, but there was no acknowledgment or birthday amenity waiting in our room upon arrival. We were referred to the restaurants, and when a server learned it was our birthdays, the only recognition we received was a verbal congratulations. While we did not expect anything extravagant, many hotels and restaurants typically offer a small gesture such as a dessert, cake, or card for special occasions. We spent approximately $1,500 dining at the resort during our celebration, yet there was still no additional acknowledgment. For a luxury resort known for its hospitality, we expected a more personalized experience. Overall, the property is beautiful, but the lack of attention to our special occasion left us disappointed. Most likely they will write back only to apologize and nothing else.
