Maui Sands is NOT under construction/renovation. There are tumbleweeds blowing through the parking lot and all signs saying "Maui Sands" have been taken down. A victim of the recession (and too many water parks in Sandusky??) I suppose. more

When I booked our rooms a month in advance, the reservationist informed me that the hotel was under construction, but not the way I had imagined. The beginning of my experience at the maui sands was horrific. But, God sent me an angel and I truly thank him. After check in at the hotel, my family and me looked for... more

We booked our stay for one night, Friday after Thansgiving back in October. They had no problem taking the money out of our account the same day. However, on Thanksgiving day we received a phone call from someone at Maui Sands stating that the resort is being mandatorily shut down and would re-open in June of 2009. ON THANKSGIVING DAY... more

My childern had a fun raiser at their school for Maui Sands, it was $99 a night so we stayed the weekend. We knew that that it was under construction, but went anyway. My sister also went and stayed the weekend. We had a blast and will go again. The kids absolutely loved the water slides. On Saturday we did... more

Don't stay here. The 3 biggest attractions were shut down. Even when they did get the surf rider functioning the following day, the lifeguards told us it was closed and they didn't know when it would be working again. Surf rider is not in the waterpark. You have to exit the waterpark, walk through the lobby and down a few... more

After reading the reviews posted here, I almost canceled our reservations. But, we needed a couple days away as a family and decided we could cancel once we saw the room and the water park. We had a very nice family suite with 2 bunk beds (their own space and tv) and a king bed with privacy doors. The room... more

Part of Maui Sands was under construction when we visited, but it didn't affect us at all. Even so, the manager gave us 10 percent off dinner at the Black Sands Restaurant (which we ended up not using) and 10 free game tokens. We were greeted with leis and happy to be given immediate access to our room via a... more

Stayed two nights. The waterpark was of typical design-nothing special there and the entire waterpark was not complete. Throughout the stay we saw so many employees making trips out to smoke. We wondered if it was part of job description! The rooms were relatively clean but showed a definite lack of skill when it came to construction. Lots of small... more
