Nestled along the dramatic Kohala Coast and in the piko, or center, of five great mountains, Mauna Lani is a sacred oasis where generations of families and friends have made memories together on soulful lands once cherished by the greatest of Hawaiian royalty. Greet the morning sun as it rises above the mountains' peaks from the seat of an outrigger canoe. Talk story with friends old and new at the Great Lawn as the sounds of ocean waves and laughter mingle. Dine amongst the company of loved ones at CanoeHouse, where locals have savored the island's bounty for decades. As you walk this storied coastline, breathe the rejuvenating salt air and swim in the crystalline waters, you feel the same mana, or spiritual energy, that first captivated legends like King Kamehameha I and Francis H. I'i Brown.

San Francisco, California

We recently traveled to the Island of Hawai'i and stayed at Mauna Lani for five nights and it was perfection! First off, the renovations are amazing and a few of the highlights for me included: state of the art fitness center, incredible hotel common areas, brand new pools (especially loved the adult pool), and beautiful new rooms. Everything is well-designed, clean, and well-stocked. I especially love that they do not use plastic in their rooms, and instead stock the fridge with ice-cold water every day. There is plenty of space in recreation, beach, pool and common areas, making it possible for you to really enjoy quiet time if you need it. The location is excellent as well, with easy access to the fish ponds for a morning walk or evening run, and access to some of the best snorkeling I have seen in my life.

But by far the best part of Mauna Lani is the staff. Luxury hotels are a dime a dozen, but Mauna Lani is set apart by the way the staff interacts with its guests. We always encountered smiles wherever we went and every person who helped us was gracious and invested in our happiness.

I highly recommend booking an outrigger experience with Kainalu. We booked two and our experience was magical both times with Uncle George, Kala, and Josiah. They showed us snorkel spots beyond our wildest dreams and taught us to listen for whales under water! I also recommend turtle talk with Pi'i and Ethan. We learned so much about the program and how much good it has done for vulnerable turtle populations. Pi'i is a turtle whisperer and has a lot of incredible knowledge on what are, in my opinion, Hawai'i's most beautiful creature.

In addition, we had exceptional poolside service from Chelsea, who always knew when we needed refills :) and Tayler at Ha Bar. Ian at CanoeHouse gave us incredible service on our last night there as well, making this trip truly special for us. We knew we would be back when we had our first snorkel...but the employees sealed it!

Yes, the hotel is new. Yes, it has kinks. But the bottom line is, don't let surface "imperfections" rob you of a truly meaningful (and luxurious) trip. The food is pricey, but if you need to budget, there are great local places in the area to support as well. Plus...it is sometimes fun to leave the grounds :). This is the best hotel to stay at on this Island if you want a vacation that is equal parts luxurious getaway and adventurous fun.

I stayed here with my husband and two other family members in mid - March. Our room was ocean front on the first floor which was exquisite!!!! View was beyond beautiful. The room was decorated to perfection and beyond clean. The only time it wasn't private was when someone held a yoga class right in front of our balcony. Check on yoga schedule before booking this room. The two swimming pools were immaculately clean with views of the ocean and both outdoor hot tubs were the perfect temperature with few chemicals. The swimming beach was perfect and we saw beautiful fish and large sea turtles snorkeling right from the hotel. We ate at Canoe House three times it was so good. All the other restaurants were excellent too. This review is not exactly fair because there were very few guests at this hotel due to the pandemic. About the time we arrived the hotel closed to the public so that made the Canoe House available and quiet for dinner any night we wanted. This restaurant is usually packed and even hotel guests must make reservations. It felt like we had the entire resort practically to ourselves which is so rare and not typical of a Hawaiian resort. We cherished every minute but would it have been the same under normal, crowded circumstances? I don't know. One bad thing happened: we were told several days in advance that the hotel would be closing down and all guests would have to leave. Luckily by that time we had 6 glorious nights. When the hotel announced the upcoming closure the staff got wind of several guests who planned on extending their stay in Hawaii via VRBO or AirB&B. These guests, including me, were contacted and told that there was a rumor that the airport was going to close the following Tuesday - the day before the hotel closure. All my common sense and intelligence and that of an even naive and simple minded person said that this was nonsense and it was. The staff wanted to send a message to tourists to get off the island. I don't get it but in general I felt VERY welcomed by EVERY local we met in the hotel and out and about while shopping and touring. I am grateful to the Mauna Lani for accepting guests around mid March and staying open as long as they did. I don't know if I'll return because I am now spoiled by visiting this hotel at 10% occupancy which is unheard of - a fantasy really that will most likely never happen again.

I cannot rave enough about the beautiful grounds, facilities, amenities and wonderful views at Mauna Lani. Down to the last detail in guest rooms, such as dimming evening and night lights, the overall experience was spectacular. I'd describe the decor as 'modern zen'. Infinity pools inside and out, lush vegetation, calming and inviting common areas. Even 4,700 miles away from home, we'd consider going again.
Dinner at the Canoe House is a must-do. Go before sunset for an extra special treat. We travel all over the world and have high expectations. Our dinner, highlighted by server and ad hoc sommelier Dean, ranks at the top of our list for dining experiences. Well done!
As expected for Hawaii, food is very expensive. Prepare for that and it will be much more enjoyable. However, quality is very good, even at places like the Shack adjacent to the beach. Freshly made poke bowls were a welcome treat for an afternoon on the beach. Beach staff have chair covers, towels, and individual ice water jugs and cups ready for you.
Wear water shoes or strapped sandals for the beach and going in the ocean. The sand is not fine and sugary. But you're missing out if you don't take a dip. Bring goggles or a face mask, and you'll probably be treated to at least some sea life such as a sea turtle that hangs out off the main beach area.

This property was overdue for a make-over, which they did. However, they sure missed a lot of key points. They put a new spa in but only offer 5 treatment rooms, no manicure/pedicure and no other services besides massage and facials. There is no nice relaxing pre or post rooms. Therapists were great, but again not within budget - close to $300 for a standard massage. What they don't tell you is the gratuity IS included in the price, so if you tip the normal 20% you made a mistake! Way over priced in my opinion and ocean "view" rooms many are obstructed. No happy hour or specials and the Canoe House? WOW, plan on bringing a lot of money, place is WAY over priced and very slow service, which I think they do on purpose to have you order more drinks, which there is nothing less than $9.00. I agree with another review, maybe visit this hotel for a drink and lunch but don't waste your money staying her. Go to the Hilton or a B&B. Staff was hit or miss, some at the front desk were helpful, others barely gave you the time of day. Service at the poop was horrible, they set you up with a towel and water, if you are lucky they see you looking for a chair, but the service for food and drinks was not around. In order to be a true 5 star rated hotel, they need to improve the "guts" of the hallways, walls, etc., lower their prices for food/beverage or offer a special and increase their staff by the pool to accommodate all guests. We were there early March and the hotel was around 90% occupancy, but staff did not reflect. Sometimes room wasn't cleaned at 4 when people go to their rooms to get ready for dinner..... Not my cup of tea and would not return.

We’re halfway through our stay, and all I can say is that it is a little disappointing. Service is inconsistent, some of the room design elements are very strange, and the service is not up to par for a hotel of this price.

We arrived, after a long journey, around 4pm (check in is at 3pm), but our room wasn’t ready for another hour. The lobby was a mess of people, all waiting for their rooms. The frantic front desk staff said we could walk around and they’d call when the room was ready. No map or orientation, and no welcome drink or even water offered (although we could see both behind the front desk). Even when our room was ready, we had to specifically ask for a property map, event schedule, etc.

Service did not pick up the next day. Poolside service was MIA — we took towels to get set up, and no one came around offering water for over an hour. We got drinks at the bar since no one came around to take orders til lunch, and when we ordered, they forgot an entree, which took half an hour to correct.

The room has a series of baffling design choices. First, the thermostat doesn’t work so the room was 64 degrees when we set it for 75 — we woke up freezing! Although we called to the front desk and they promised an engineer would come fix it, we had no follow up. We haven’t used the thermostat since. The light switch in the bathroom also turns on the lights in the foyer, so you wake everyone up if you have to use the toilet at night. And the light switches turn off all the lights in the room, so you can’t just turn off the lights in the bathroom. And the TV did not appear to get any channels, and could only be used by ChromeCasting from a phone/tablet.

The food at the restaurants have been generally good, although prices extremely high, and hidden fees everywhere you look. For example, room service tacked on a $10 service charge, $6 delivery charge, and a separate gratuity. By the way, valet is $45/night.

Also, be sure to book dinner and spa reservations well in advance, or you will find yourself disappointed.

Despise these many hiccups, the property is gorgeous, the staff generally looking to please, and we very much appreciated the body pillow for my wife, as our travel agent had told the hotel it was our babymoon. Still, way too many little problems for the price we paid!

When I was told by the salesperson on the phone that the rooms labeled garden view overlooked the parking lot, she assured me that by spending more would be worth it for the ocean view. PLOT TWIST: The ocean view was another building. And I guess literally the ocean is behind it, but what a let down. I stayed in 3 other lodgings during our stay on the big island with ocean views- and none were obstructed.

Rooms have modern looking fixtures, but walls and doors are still thin, the hotel hallway and guest floors are thin 80s carpeting. I could hear our neighbor's phone alarm, for example. I'd love to see a guidebook (not just a map) in the room, and lanai furniture closer to the nice stuff at the common spaces that everyone can see.

Upon arrival, we were denied a late check out since the hotel was booked the following night.

I didn't bring any of this up to staff onsite, and I probably should have.

What gives this review 2 stars instead of 1 is the staff: from top to bottom, dining, cleaning, or by the beach, the daily staff was all very kind and attentive. Additionally, the facility was clean and if someone else had picked up the tab on my room, I probably wouldn't have minded the other stuff. It seems to have a good amount of activities for families and kids, and the staff working them is friendly and helpful.

........
I suggest: Save your money, or spend it more wisely: I recommend staying at a nearby less expensive spot. The gorgeous coastline is great at all resorts and nearby spots. Head over to Mauna Lani for a meal, or a market iced coffee and a pastry. Then, stay and enjoy the pool or the sunset! They validate and give free parking to visitors (though for guests it is $15/day).

Overall bad experience.

The location is very beautiful, but a series of events made the overall experience stressful.

Staff were very slow at the adult pool over the weekend sat/sun at the start of our trip (improved M-T).

All activities were booked, no assistance was provided by the concierge to help us find things to do. Very unhelpful and slow to respond.

All spa activities were completely booked.

Dinner reservations were completely booked. We got lucky with canoe house which was pretty incredible on two separate nights.

Morning breakfast would take 45 minutes to get seated.

Overall my impression was that the hotel overbooked guests the week we were there, and kept the same COVID-19 reduced staff and restaurant schedules. Didn’t understand the rationale of this other than “money grab.”

We basically ordered room service and sat in the hotel all day. Honestly can’t complain too much, but just wasn’t what I was expecting given the reviews I had read.

Very poor service overall. Will not be coming back.

We just returned from a truly wonderful vacation at Mauna Lani. The hotel was luxurious and beautiful. We booked a premium ocean view suite which had two bathrooms and was perfect for our family of 5 (children ages 5, 7, and 8). The pool was well-staffed and well-situated with a great view. It was nice there was an adults-only pool so the kids could play without fear of bothering too many honeymooners or retirees. We sipped margaritas at dinner while the kids played with their new friends on the grassy lawn. Everyone agrees it was one of our favorite trips (after a year of not going anywhere!). I do wish there was more priority for hotel guests at the restaurants. We were never able to get dinner at the CanoeHouse (we inquired when we arrived, but they were booked for the entire week). Despite this small disappointment, it was overall a fabulous trip!

Every experience from check in, to the pool, to dining at the Canoe House was flawless. The rooms were cleaned frequently which made us feel safer considering the current circumstances with Covid and the large amount of tourists coming in (we are local to the Big Island) We got engaged during our stay and were treated so great by the staff, we don't want to stay at any other hotel again! It was our first but not our last time spending a stay-cation here. Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo!

The total has come thorough a fantastic remodeling looking wonderful. Its breathtaking upon first waking in. The staff are wonderfully accommodating and always with a smile. A few nitpicks. Out side of the night table there are no outlets in the room to use which can create a logjam when charging. Also the concierges were not particularly helpful. I asked about the CanoeHouse restaurant and was told it was entirely booked the entire week and to even some waitlists were booked. I gave Niko my name to be placed on the wait list for the week and never heard back. Luckily my wife just walked up to the hostess one night and she asked and yes they had three different available times. Maybe a bit more coordination. These days the internet can be just as valuable as a concierge so they should certainly add value and be productive.
