Today is my last day in Hawaii (7/24/09) and I wanted to tell you that if you're interested in staying at the Magic Sands (Unit 302) it's the best ever. Remodeled, comfortable and luxurious. Reserve directly with LongBoardStudios.com (look for the button titled "Oceanfront Vacation Shack"). You truly will enjoy yourself. more

The first night at Big Island we stayed at Kona Tiki Hotel. We couldn't get a room for longer here, because it was booked out, so we went and found one at the Kona Magic Sands Resort. We had to find a travel agent to book the room and pay for it. The location of the Kona Magic Sands Resort... more

We stayed in Unit 314, corner unit with great view. Quiet, clean and very well equipped. The unit had a bedroom with a queen bed and a hide-a-bed. Second room was a kitchen living area.

Unit 304 - Plenty of room for two people. Best views from the third floor - but no elevator. Assigned parking spot. This unit has one of the large decks. We thought the proximity of Jamesons' Restaurant might be annoying, but we didn't even notice it. We ate our morning and evening meals on the deck watching the people play... more
