    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 the spirit of improvement, I wanted to share that concierge left much to be desired. While they were all very nice I found them disorganized, slow to respond and just not the quality or efficiency I would expect from a Four Seasons. I emailed over a week before our trip asking for dining recs, activities and car rentals and at first didn't hear back for a couple of days. I then called to follow up and got a response but information was provided piecemeal. I had to talk to 3 different people in order to get most of my questions answered (but not all). I had to repeat myself often in emails and do duplicate work to get things booked. Getting everything squared away though (activities, and dining reservations etc.) took hours of emailing, phone call chats and in my opinion should have been more streamlined. Of the folks I spoke to, I found Melissa the most helpful and wished more of the people I spoke to were as helpful as her. Eventually I had to resort to just booking dining reservations myself - no big deal but I feel like part of the value proposition of a FS is that they do all of these things for you. When I spoke with the third person to ask for dining recs all her top ones were the hotel restaurants which is fine but I'm calling because I want to go beyond the hotel walls. The restaurants at the hotel also were fine but not the very best. After a few emails to the concierge I received the dining guide and info on things to do with the kids when this would have been helpful to receive from the beginning. I know that part of the challenge is the revolving door nature of a concierge at some hotels, with different people working each day and having to re-read past email threads etc. but I'm sure there's a solution for this.

Chef Rhod went above and beyond to prep food for Oliver(1.5yo) and we had full confidence in the team and their care with Oliver's allergies. We were upgraded to a Partial Ocean view room. It was standard and met expectations from photos we viewed before the trip. Engineer had to come to help fix some issues with the shower door and two of the sliding door were installing upside down and backward but these issues didn't affect our stay. The room was clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet for a room located next to the elevator. Check in was a breeze and the valet team were both prompt and friendly. You receive a welcome drink and a lei ( flower for females and kuki nut for males). Amenities were the same as our previous stay. They have activities throughout the day for guests which is nice for families and young kids. Our child loved being by the pool and we spent most of our time there. The beach front access and setups are a huge plus for this property. You can snorkel right off of the beach and see fish and sea turtles.

It's also located next to The Shops at Wailea, a luxury shopping mall. We were told that the resort was in the shape of a turtle, and once that was mentioned the resort map made it obvious. The resort is along a string of luxury hotels right by the water connected by a walking/running path. In the morning you'll see tons of people along that path. We got a double queen bed with ocean views, and the bathroom contained both a tub and a shower. The resort amenities include but are not limited to a gym, multiple pools (including an adult-only one), lounge chairs, cabanas, water slides, and a spa. The spa had complimentary fitness classes which we took advantage of. Some of them were on the beach and in the fitness room, but some are paid. There are activities like massages, sound baths, and other types of wellness activities. To use the pool amenities you need a wristband which you get by one of the covered areas. Only valet parking is available for $80/night. They also have a on-site luau which I went to although I've been to better ones. There's a chapel and we even witnessed a wedding during our time there. We also went to Nobu at the resort which I enjoyed. Although it's a luxury resort, some parts of the resort were outdated and broken such as the room signs. The room interior was modern but some exterior parts of the building were on the older side. The location and the views are definitely the selling point of the resort, and it's a place you want to stay at to take advantage of the views and amenities.

What I thought were rocks were actually plastic looking boulders. This would have been fine but on the walkway to the Wailea shops there were broken boulders so you see that they are fake and the pond empty. An eyesore. The room service staff were great and took good care of keeping the room clean. However the refrigerator in the room had been turned off and had a stale smell. Having 4 TV's at home and actually had a Samsung I think I know how to troubleshoot problems. As we were getting ready to retire we turned the TV on and were directed to the promotional hotel page. We had no access to regular TV. Called the front desk for help and they asked me "do you know what is wrong?" No that is why I am calling you. Instead of going to bed I had to wait 30 minutes for help to arrive. The problem ended up being on the hotel end and the problem was fixed. The repairman dropped his toolset in my clothing drawer below the TV and left. Which I had to make a trip down to the front desk to drop off. In addition to dropping off the tools I had received a letter in the room telling me of upcoming service and they needed 45 minutes in the room. Not sure why this maintenance was not done on the front end or back end when I left? Now I am getting annoyed and the woman at the front desk said they are SEVERELY understaffed. The manager did give me a $300 credit but the damage was already done. Our room was $815 a night. The pool area was a circus, which I understand because families want that last summer trip. A great portion of the pool was closed for maintenance, including the lazy river. If you want a nice chaise lounge with an umbrella you need to get to the pool very early and stake your claim. So you are competing for your space. One of the days the towel station was out of towels. If you want a preferred area or cabana you are going to pay. There were some positives on the property but the negatives prevailed. The hotel is tired and needs to be upgraded. Especially for a Waldorf Astoria. In retrospect I should have gone down the street to the Four Seasons or the Fairmont. Even though I am a Hilton Honors member.

You have to have a car here to get around, not so in Kaanapali. We enjoy walking around and walking the beaches. You have to drive everywhere to do that here. We have been coming to Maui for over 40 years and enjoy relaxing, going to old and new restaurants and walking the beaches and boardwalks. First time staying here, we won't come again! Pros: Beautiful rooms with very few inconveniences. List in cons! Beautiful pool area and landscaping. Also a few cons! Downtown Kīhei and Wailea not too far my car and more beaches and restaurants to go to. Favorite restaurants: Isana, you can walk to. Beach club, nice staff, good drinks, and great coconut shrimp. Threes, in town, great staff (ask for Josh) and food. Nalu, great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 30 min walk or short drive. Great happy hour, ahi tacos the best. Monkey pod, but I like the one in Kaanapali best, better views. Salesman Dan Hunter was respectful and informative for our update, not pushy! Beaches nearby: Polo beach, great boardwalk along resorts in Wailea. Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, you can walk the wooden bridge and then the beach. You can walk the beach all along Kīhei, even across the street, it just isn't easy in some areas. Cons: Need a car! The adult pool at the resort was cloudy and dirty from the pigeon's. Never saw them cleaning the pool until we complained the third day. Then they tried to clean it better l, especially after our review and we complained again. They need to do something about the pigeons before it gets better. The other pools were pristine. You rarely see a pool attendant, no help moving chairs or umbrellas. Only the adult pool area have nice comfortable covers, about 25, the rest are very uncomfortable. Wore down crappy cabanas with dirty covers, no TV's working or refrigerators, not that I would use them, but if you have them they should be in working order. Complained to Chanel, day manager who didn't seemed too concerned. She did come down and looked but no feedback expect pool service did seem to improve, just not resolved. The grab and go is really just a small fast food restaurant, no food only drinks. Are room was great except for dirty floors from something they put on them (photo with stain from wet foot).

A special thank you to Shermila, the front desk manager. When the storm affected our plans, she was incredibly friendly, helpful, and able to accommodate us for an additional night in the same room. During what could have been a stressful situation, she made everything much easier for us. We really appreciated her kindness and professionalism. Pros: The staff throughout the property were very friendly and welcoming. The resort did not feel overcrowded, which made for a relaxing stay. Our room was modern, spacious, and comfortable, with a full-size kitchen that was great to have. There are a few areas that could use improvement. Housekeeping could benefit from additional training and attention to detail, as the room cleaning was not as thorough as we would have expected. The patio furniture also appeared as though it had not been cleaned in a very long time, possibly since the property opened. Unfortunately, it was dirty enough that we did not feel comfortable sitting outside and enjoying the patio. Another disappointment was the food situation. The website indicates there is a kitchen on site, but there are actually no restaurants at the property, including by the pool, and there is no real breakfast option. There is a bar across the street with limited hours that serves bar food, as well as a grab-and-go area. We received a coupon for the grab-and-go, but the options with the coupon were extremely limited. We were only able to order a premade McMuffin-style breakfast sandwich, while the other items were not eligible with the coupon. Despite these areas for improvement, we are still giving our stay five stars because of the friendly staff and, most importantly, the way Shermila and the front desk team took care of us during a difficult situation with the storm. That level of service made a lasting impression and was very much appreciated.

My son and I were still in the pool on July 6th or 7th at ~8:20pm. I wasn't paying attention to the time. We were on vacation having a good time. Well I later realized the pool closes at 8pm and I genuinely hadn't noticed the posted sign. An employee (an elderly haole man) came outside and yelled "GET OUT OF THE POOL!!" to which I immediately replied, "OK I'm sorry sir, we are getting out, my apologies I wasn't aware of the time" and we IMMEDIATELY started leaving the pool. Despite that, he continued yelling "GET OUT OF THE POOL!!" I am not kidding he yelled at the top of his lungs at least 5x more times. To the point that I responded that we were already getting out and had apologized, and that repeating it was unnecessary. His response was, "Well, you guys don't know how to read the sign, so you clearly need to be told several times." Wow. I completely understand the pool has posted hours and have no issue being asked to leave once I realized it was closed. That part was my mistake. What was disappointing was the way my 11 year old son and I were treated after we immediately complied. There was no reason to repeatedly yell at us or make disrespectful comments. Guests deserve to be treated with courtesy, even when they've made an honest mistake. I hope management addresses how guests are spoken to, because this interaction left a very negative impression. As a suggestion, it might help to automatically turn the pool lights off (if this happened we would have left immediately) and/or disable the gate keypad when the pool closes. We honestly didn't realize the posted hours and those changes would make it much more obvious that the pool was closed while also preventing situations like this. Because of this my family and I will never stay here again. There are plenty of other options just as good or better on Maui. TLDR: The pool closes at 8pm! If in the pool after be prepared to get yelled at by the staff repeatedly with disrespectful comments made to you and your children.
