had a basic pedicure here and it was just okay. It turned out to be $80 after the automatic 20% gratuity and it was not worth it. I get pedicures at those cheap $20 places and they do a much better job and get rid of my calluses etc. the spa itself is just okay. not much amenities, no good... More

The body polish was great, massage was average, and facial was not worth it. I'd do the massage and body polish the next time and spend time in the women's jacuzzi or steam room. They fully validate for parking (else it would be $24 for 3.5hours) so that was great. More

Unlike other spas, you can extend your enjoyment and hang out by the pool before and after.  A real treat! More

I didn't have time to do my mani and pedi at home before leaving for vacation and so figured I would give Mandara a try since I was at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. What a horrible experience! The nail technicians have no idea what they are doing. It took 3 of them to figure out that I have a gel... More

I had a certificate for this place I bought online for a massage, body scrub, and scalp massage. I've been to several nice spas and being at the Hilton, was expecting something quite impressive. It was ok, but....it seemed that most of the seating was in the waiting areas, not in the actual SPA. There were only 4 seats to... More

Booked this thru a special and only paid 139 for a massage, body scrub and facial(this even was an extravangous for me). The staff were very attentive. Even though I was only there due to the discount I received. I had just had a very stressful 2 weeks, topped off with an early am departure from Seattle. The service was... More

I have visited many spas over the years. I had high hopes for Mandara and was surprised to have only an average experience there. I will admit, the more I pay for a massage, the more I expect of the experience. So in my mind, the cost and the experience didn't exactly equate. The pro's: beautiful treatment rooms, quiet, and...

I have been to Honolulu on 4 occasions and each time have visited the Manadra Spa at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I have however noted that the exclusive spa experience has declined over the past 5 years however. While the massages and facials I have experienced have been excellent, the facilities have not kept their once high standard unfortunately. Some... More

I don't do spas a lot simply because they can be so pricey. I got a basic pedicure for $60. By the time they add taxes and service fees, it was $80. Thank goodness I had a $25 gift certificate from Spa Finder. My pedicure was average and nothing spectacular above the regular nail shops where you can get a... More
