My wife and I were able to arrange our stay at the Mauna Lani Terrace directly with Dave and Sandy in their unit, H-303. As host and hostess, their hospitality is only surpassed by the quality and luxury of their condominium

We spent the first few hours admiring the view from every balcony and window. Located on the top floor, this corner condominium makes it hard to decide which lanai (one in each room) has a more beautiful vista. The ocean, the beaches, fish ponds (with twirling, jumping fish) the beautiful grounds and pool and of course the Mauna Lani resort itself are a sensory overload. More than just a visual panorama, all of these beautiful areas are just a short walk from the condo.

The interior is also a delight. Its immaculate, tasteful, Asian decor was the perfect setting for both relaxing and entertaining. As a retired chef, it was especially pleasing to me to be able to prepare and serve gourmet (if I may modestly so claim) meals from the fully equipped kitchen and dining room.

We highly recommend this condominium to all. Enjoy. Hopefully we will not be trying to book the same dates.

Dave and Sandy Schlegle own this unit #H303, from whom we rented personally. My husband and I were priviledged to be able to experience this condominium. Unlike many of the condo's in this complex, this unit was immaculate and beautifully furnished and decorated. From the moment you open the door you are transported into a world that you wll not soon forget. Everything you could want is in this unit. From a coffee grinder for that fresh and famouse Kona Coffee available all over the island to a washer and dryer just the right size for keeping your bathng suit and shorts ready to wear. The master bedroom has the atmosphere of peace and serenity and if you close your eyes you can almost feel a servant fannng you with a palm frond!
Each morning we enjoyed our coffee on the beautful lanai which overlooked the ocean as well as the pool and hot tub and the beautiful grounds. Next we would take the scenic path down to the prvate beach where we enjoyed tanning, snorkeling ,a cocktail and lunch if we desired or just a little nap! In the evenings we could prepare our own meals either in our Condo or barbecue by the pool. This condo has it all!
The Mauna Lani Bay resort is right next door where we had several restaraunts to choose from as well as a Sunday Buffet at the Terrace.
Your are only 30 minutes from Waimea or Kailua Kona if you absolutely have to get your
tourist fix, but you are but a hop skip and a jump from a beautiful beach called Hapuna.
If you're looking for paradise in paradise you wont be dissatisfied with this condo.

We have stayed at the Mauna Lani Terrace for the last 5 years. It is Paradise!
Very quiet, with an excellent pool and fantastic views of the ocean.
When you book, ask for an upgraded unit, they were built 20 years ago, so some units have not been upgraded. Most of the units have been upgraded as of 2005.

We will keep coming back for years to come.

We have visited the Mauan Lani Terrace Condo's for the last 5 years, and unfortunately will think twice about returning. Although the grounds are beautiful, on our last trip we found our unit lacking essentials i.e. trash bags that would not fit the trash compactor, missing light bulbs, broken showers.
We could have overlooked all of that, had we not, on our second to last day, awoken to jackhammers outside our door at 8:am.
Apparently, our condo's front entry and that of another nearby, were undergoing a renovation. Unfortunatley, they did not seem to care that we had two remaining days in the unit.
My 5 year old daughter went outside of our unit and almost walked into an area where, a gentleman, who did not seem to care that a child was nearby, was sawing with an electric saw. Every time we tried to go in our out of our unit they would glare at us and even tell us to stay put. After a while, they stopped trying to be careful.
All of this was going on IN OUR Porch, we couldn't escape it. With all the jackhammering, sawing, construction trucks double parked, and leering construction workers, our vacation was nearly ruined by the last two days.
What is even more galling was the managements attititude. They were not only unresponsive, they were rude with a "so what" attitude. They refused to call off the construction crews they had hired and while admitting they made a mistake suggested that the crews tight schedule made any delays impossible.
All of my call thereafter to the management company and the condo facilitites Homeownerrs Board were unresponded to.
We have been visiting Hawaii every year for 27 years, and from time to time we see this attitiude. It's like they have you and your money so shut up.
We won't be going back and highly recommend that anyone thinking of staying there take heed.
