My wife and I stayed at Kapaa Sands unit 18 for 5 nights in June, 2008. We are purchasing unit #21 and wanted to experience staying at the resort. So as someone who's going through the process of purchasing a unit right now my opinion is obviously biased. But I think I can provide useful info for potential stayers, and... more

This is a posting to describe our stay at the Kapaa Sands from Weds May 28th through Friday May 30th, 2008. I will also preface our comments to state that they are for Unit #2 which is a 2 bedroom, 1 and a half bath ocean front unit. Like real estate agents always say, it’s location, location, location. I have... more

My wife and I were married on Kauai, and spent the majority of our honeymoon at the Sands, the rest was at a resort on the Big Island. The Sands was perfect for us. It was nice and quiet, not big and touristy like the resorts. It's pretty well seperated from the main traffice. I read a review that said... more

We are currently staying at the Kapaa Sands, and have been here since the beginning of May. I was somewhat concerned before we arrived, as I had read a poor review of Unit #2 on Trip Advisor, after I booked it for our 3 week stay. I contacted the management, and shared the review, explained our needs, and was reassured... more

We spent one of our honeymoon weeks here in #9. This was a second floor studio. The only drawback I saw was the small bathroom. However, the kitchen made up for that. This is a small group of condos, four to a building. From our lanei we watched wales every day and wonderful sunsets. Maids came in and changed our... more

We were pleasantly surprised with our accommodations at the Kapaa Sands. I was a little leery of staying at a condo building instead of a hotel but we gave it a try any way. It was just the two of us and we chose a small unit with a Murphy bed. The room was clean, had decent furniture, and the... more

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We stayed on the 2nd floor of building #5. There were fragrant hawaiian leis and flowers in our room upon arrival. I don't know if they do that for everyone or just for us honeymooners. It did have a locked, connecting door with the room next door, but we never heard... more

This place gets rave reviews on the forum, so maybe my expectations were too high. I'm usually ok with budget accomodations. We stayed in Unit 21, the 2 bedroom, 2 bath. So my comments are based on our experience in this unit. This resort is in a busy, high traffic area, you will definitely hear road noise. The beach is... more

Five of us stayed in two units at the Kapaa Sands for three nights, November 15 to 18. One of the units (#1) was right on the ocean, the other (#23) just behind, in the garden, but with a fine ocean view (the buildings are constructed so that the front units do not block the ones behind them). The second... more

Very nice and cozy condos in a good location. Stayed in unit #10, a beachfront efficiency on the ground floor with a murphy bed. Pros: The location is nice and central for access to the entire island of Kauai. Price is competitive with other condos in the area. Unit 10 was well furnished with a full set of kitchenwares (pots/pans/dishes/utensils/cooking... more
