My family and I stayed in unit 206 at the Kona Magic Sands for 5 nights. We booked our stay through Hawaii Resort Management (konahawaii.com). The hotel is about a 20 minute drive from the Kona airport. First, you have to check in at the Islander Inn (about a 5 minute drive from Magic sands). After that, you are free... more

Unit #303 - This was our first time on the Big Island and we had a phenomenal vacation. We were there for almost two weeks and still and just touched the surface of the things there are there to do and see. A return trip is already in the works. I was very pleased we found the Magic Sands and... more

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

I stayed at the Kona Magic Sands for 3 wks. I was traveling alone and looking for some R and R. The studio I have was on the first floor. Very clean and had a new remodeled bathroom. No A/C, but, was only a liitle hot in the afternoon. For the price it was nice. Oceanfront and the waves were... more

I recently spent three nights in this unit. Starting out with the positive, the location right on the water is great, and I was also happy to have Wi-Fi. The shower has been nicely remodeled, and the vanity and floor tiles are new. But altogether, I'd have to say that this is NOT a nice condo. Overall the feeling is... more

This was our 2nd trip to the Big Island and our timing worked out that we could stay at Magic Sands. Fabulous location. Close enough to the Alii shops and restaurants ( 3miles), but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Condos are small, but the price is very reasonable. Our's was well stocked with all the amenities of... more

We stayed in 310 for 2 weeks and just loved it. It had everything you could possibly want and need for 2 people. The location was perfect and we could definitly see whales, fish, dolphins and turtles everyday. The beach next door was great , from body surfing and snorkling and just for suntanning. The location was adequate for getting... more

Just returned from a weeks stay at Magic Sands in Unit #201. The location is the reason we selected this particular unit - it is a corner unit with a wrap around lanai facing Magic Sands Beach. We laughed about some comments we had read about how noisy the waves could be and didn't believe it until our first night.... more

It has a good location right next to the ocean. (This is noisy though when the waves crash, but at least thats nature...!). Its about 3 miles S of the main Kona strip, which I regarded as a good thing. You do get noise from the main road once the traffic starts moving in the morning. Easy parking there, and... more
