Makani Sands is in a great location with everything you need being easily accessible either by foot or a short drive. The ocean views are amazing, the people are friendly and everything from check-in to check out was super easy. If you're looking for a good value in a good location this one checks all the boxes.
Napali Bay is a short drive away and a great beach for families. Grocery store and the Fish Market (definitley recommend) are right there. Grills are great for cooking dinner as the sun sets over Maui. Black Rock Beach is another beach that is just a short drive away and Lahiana is less than 15 minutes as well. We had a great trip, did all the thing we wanted to do and see and this was the perfect home base for what we needed.
