We liked this place well enough but it all depends on what you're looking for. It is a very basic, simple place--has its pros and cons. regarding the complex in general: Pro's: it's in a fairly convenient location in Kapaa (a little ways south of Kapaa town), which is centrally located for drive trips either north to Hanalei or south...

We stayed here April 1-14 - 20, 2013 and enjoyed our time at this resort. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Very friendly and efficient staff. Amy was very pleasant and always very helpful. We stayed in a unit away from the Ocean and would have loved to stay right on the Ocean next time. Our only complaint would be we... More

We LOVED this place. We'd been at the Hyatt in Poipu for 6 nights before coming up to Kapaa and turns out we'd pick this place over the Hyatt any day. No real way to compare them apples to apples, but we loved the location, staff, convenience and the views it offered. We were in unit #9 and although it... More

Kapaa Sands is an absolute gem. The units are quite small studio apartments, laid out for the utmost in privacy. Even though we just had an ocean view, what an incredible view it was. The manager and staff were absolutely excellent - they were attentive and informative and responded quickly to each and every request. The place is spotless, and... More

Kapaa Sands is a hidden gem along the busy east coast of Kauai. The location is actually perfect...about the mid point of the Kauai road system. Less then an hours drive to almost anywhere on the island....and less then 10 minutes from the airport. The property itself is amazing....lush gardens, a secluded beach, amazing sunrise views. The units are simple... More

We have been coming to Kauai for 40 years as well I had a travel agency in Canada so was familiar with the property. We decided this year to stay at this property mostly due to the great recommendations by my clients. For many years we owned a condo in Kappa, Kauia so had a place to stay. I must... More

We stayed for 9 days - switching from from an ocean front (14), to an ocean view (19) and back to an ocean front (8). We did this because, although we had wanted to go cheap and just have an ocean view - one wasn't available for our full stay -- but we were so glad to pay the extra... More

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our week at this hotel. We had a second story studio with an ocean view that was stunning! Not fancy, but the studio was clean and well appointed, including snorkel gear, fins, surf shoes, and beach towels. The grounds were lovely. And, the hotel was well located to get to the north and south... More
