Hello all:
I want to preface this review by saying my partner and I frequent Maui annually. This was our first time staying at a Kamaole Sands property. (We usually stay at Maui Vista or Maui Coast Hotel - but we wanted to try something different.)
Pros:
- Right across from Kamaole III Beach. However, Paia Fish Market, Kihei Caffe, Tiki Lounge are all about 1.5 miles walking distance down the street
- Clean
- Amenities at Property/Look of Property
- Unit AC
- Gated Community
- Two Bathrooms (in general, more feedback about bathrooms under cons)
Cons:
- Condo is not sound proof as we heard the neighbors having sex all night. That’ll make you blush. Lol.
- Wi-Fi is spotty! You lose connectivity once you get into bedroom. Spectrum is the provider, I believe. As a Healthcare IT professional, I did the best to troubleshoot. There needs to be a more robust router or repeater put into place. Or simply mount router in hallway? We were unable to work or even take calls properly in the condo. Only one bar of service as AT&T user. Frustrating!
- The bed is hard and uncomfortable. Truly felt like owners invested in the least expensive mattress and TV for the bedroom.
- The shower renovation is not ideal. There’s a glass barrier similar to one you may see in newer hotel builds. However, the water shoots out onto bathroom floor. The owners retrofitted a plastic shower curtain and I think that’s gross. Kept touching me in shower. Glass barrier was NOT a good choice for this bathroom. Hence the reason I’m sure the owners placed the plastic curtain in too. Weird.
In conclusion, being right across from Kamaole III was great, however, we do not plan to choose this specific condo again - perhaps not even this property at all.
Thank you.
