My wife, 11 year old son and I enjoyed a week-long stay at the Mauna Lani this past Christmas ’08 and New Years ’09. I recommend the hotel to others. We stayed in a one-bedroom ocean view suite. The living room was amply sized (approximately the size of a standard room), with a sleeper sofa and two easy chairs, along... more

Just returned from a week visit to the Mauna Lani. The check in process is the best I've experienced. The staff is attentive and eager to please. So many daily activities and no fees for most. This hotel is not a chain and has a unique quality so unknown these days. If you travel for business like I do (Four... more

From the moment you enter the hotel, you know its not your typical resort. We were greeted with Leis, a delicious orange-mango juice, and warm smiles. You check in seated at s desk with a staff member, as opposed to standing behind a counter as at most other large properties. The lobby is open air with beautiful plants and fish... more

Our family of five had a great stay at the Mauna Lani. We had adjoining rooms on the 6th floor with a awesome view to the north coastline and beaches. This was an authentic hawaiian experience. Beautiful grounds, water features, fish, turtles (honu), beaches etc. Great snorkeling at their beach club. Very consistent good service levels all around. Great buffet... more

My 19 year old daughter and I just returned from 4 days at the Mauna Lani. It was a superb location for us. Not fussy, just low key outstanding service, nice beaches, many little touches that went a long way. Only drawback was the lack of casual dinner dining on the premises - but the grocery store at The Shops... more

In all our travels we have not stayed at the same place twice - but this was our second stay at Mauna Lani Bay Hotel. We love it! Plans to return again are underway. The property is beautiful. The staff is simply excellent. From the moment we arrived until the time we checked out we were treated with courtesy, respect,... more

In spite of my wife (who was not willing to shell out extra for a room) we managed to stay here and loved every minute of it. The service was great and facilities were excellent. We actually enjoyed the snorkeling off Mauna Lani's beach more than any other place on Big Island. The food and drinks at their restaurant was... more

My mother and I went on a weeklong girls getaway and were absolutely amazed by both the hotel and the area. It really is a tropical paradise. We agreed we had never been anywhere nicer in our life. The people were incredibly friendly and helpful and the property was beautiful and luxurious but in a very understated, natural way. We... more

What a joy to be able to return to paradise at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel on the Big Island of Hawaii and rejuvenate our spirits...along with our bodies in the beautiful water and on the best beach in Hawaii! Our favorite place to have lunch and a casual dinner is the Ocean Grill, strategically set between the pool area... more
