We came to Maui to attend our son’s wedding and wanted a base to operate from for the 12 days we would be there. We searched for what seemed like months, sharing with family the possible places. We decided that an ocean front location was best and Makani Sands 3 bedroom oceanfront condo checked all the boxes.
Once arriving, we were excited to find everything about our unit met or exceeded our expectations. The views of the ocean, the cleanliness of the unit, the well stocked kitchen, the extras like beach chairs, a cooler, etc, were all things that made our stay wonderful. The sun shades that you could automatically lower when the sun was low in the sky was very useful. They didn’t block the view but did temper the intensity of the sun.
Makani Sands is a Condo group that takes great pride in its appearance. The cleanliness and freshness of the common areas is top notch. The ocean front patio with chairs, tables and bbq grills are well maintained and constantly kept in good order. There were many unit owners there and they were so welcoming and very helpful in giving advice on places to go and see. They also congregated around sunset each day on the patio to relax, fellowship, and enjoy drinks and maybe use the grills. They would also blow the conch shells at sunset and show us how to do it. Every unit has a couple of shells designed to be blown.
The beach, snorkeling, and daily sea turtle visits were added bonuses. We loved our stay and look forward to returning.
