Maui Sands Resort coming to Sandusky

Tuesday, 08 May 2007

Sandusky’s newest waterpark, Maui Sands Resort, is under construction at the former Holiday Inn in Sandusky. The Maui Sands Resort takes on a Hawaiian theme and will include three hotels, all connected to a new indoor waterpark. A new four story 96-room all suite hotel, called Maui Sands Family Suites, will be built between the Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express.

Maui Sands Resort will be Sandusky's fifth indoor waterpark. The others are Great Wolf Lodge, Kalahari Resort, The Rain at the Quality Inn & Suites, and Cedar Point's Castaway Bay.

The Holiday Inn will undergo a Hawaiian themed renovation and become Maui Sands Hotel and Cabana Village. The Holiday Inn Express will also undergo a Hawaiian themed renovation but will remain a Holiday Inn Express. The waterpark will have 55,000 square feet of wet recreation space, becoming the area’s second largest indoor waterpark.

Other amenities include a 5,500 square foot game arcade, full service spa, banquet rooms and three restaurants, one hosting an authentic Hawaiian Luau.

The new resort is scheduled to open in April 2008.
