Sands of Kahana, Maui Review
A note from the owners:
In 2010, my (now) husband and I attended a destination wedding in Maui, where my friend from Australia and my husband’s American cousin were getting married. At the time, we didn’t know each other, but we met, dated, fell in love and the rest is history. Now we have a 9-year old and live in Australia. Due to the distance, we are reluctantly selling our TimeShare, hoping that someone else can create their own magical memories.
We have been owner-occupiers for 15 years, visiting every other year. What do we love most about Sands of Kahana?
· The super convenient location: The resort is right on the beach, between Kaanapali and Kapalua. It’s an easy 50-minute ride from the airport and a 15-minute drive to the town of Lahaina.
· The spacious rooms: Large enough to accommodate two couples comfortably, with the convenience of washers, dryers and a fully equipped kitchen.
· The incredible beach, wildlife and ocean access. Beautiful sunsets and many fun activities accessible by a short drive including snorkeling, scuba diving and whale watching.
· The fantastic on-site restaurant, Captain Jack’s and the amazing array of amenities, including tennis, pickleball, a putting green, barbecue grills, and pools for both kids and adults.
Our loss is your gain. Don’t miss the opportunity to buy into this fantastic resort.

More information on our formula...
Hotels usually sleep 2 adults per room, whereas the average timeshare units offer multiple private bedrooms, sleeper sofas and sometimes even bunk beds - adding value not calculated here. Timeshare properties are condo style units that contain all of the comforts of home... and then some!
Hotel total cost includes a 10% hotel tax whereas the average U.S. hotel tax is currently around 13.4%.
Timeshare total cost includes an increase in maintenance dues each year of 3%, as well as an estimated $1,000 in closing and transfer costs. These are estimated and will vary by state, county and resort.
Total savings does not take into consideration the added benefit of a timeshare unit having a spacious living room, washer and dryer, dining room and full kitchen, all of which add value and potential savings when you have the option to do your own laundry and enjoy a home cooked meal instead of dining out.
