This is by far the most authentic and uniquely Hawaiin hotel we have visited. Words cannot properly describe the charm, atmosphere and truely Aloha experience created by the staff and enviornment. The hotel is unmatched in its peaceful, serene and understated elegance creating a terrific sense of place consistent with dignified Hawaiin themes. My wife and 2 teenage sons all... more

We were here from August 4-9, 2008 and stayed in an Ocean View room. We recommend this hotel for couples and adults rather than families with children because there aren't a lot of activities for kids. For families, the Hilton or Sheraton would be better. Location: One of the very best on the west, Kona side. There are two small... more

Our family of four stayed here for 6 nights before heading to Honolulu for a family reunion -- we had a terrific time. From the moment we arrived, we could tell this is a hotel serious about service and pampering guests. Walking into the serene, beautiful lobby, I could feel all that mainland tension just floating away! Our room was... more

We recently stayed five nights at the Mauna Lani and had one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. This is an elegant hotel set in a beautiful location. From the stark lava fields that lead to the verdant golf course, to the gentle beach out front, to the lovely gardens and pools around the hotel, the setting... more

We stayed 10 days at the Mauna Lani and we wished we had booked two more days. The hotel is beautiful with its atrium filled with fish and turtle lagoons. Every morning my 10 month old daughter and I would take our early walk while mom slept. We would greet the fish in the pools and say hi to the... more

Absolutely wonderful hotel with a great staff. We stayed there for a little over a week with a pool view room. Breakfast was pricey, but I guess thats the standard in Hawaii. Rooms were clean and neat, with a wonderful turn down service at night. They have a very nice restaraunt on the premises (Canoe House) and several sea turtles... more

This was our second stay at the Mauna Lani on the Big Island of Hawaii, and both experiences were wonderful --- we will definitely stay here again on future visits to the island. The service at the Mauna Lani was exceptional --- everyone was welcoming and friendly. Because we were return guests, they were kind enough to send up a... more

We went here for our honeymoon. It was so beautiful. The staff was so nice. They made us feel special from day one. There is a lot of great stuff at this hotel as well, if you just feel like hanging out. We were surprised to see so many kids, but they were very well behaved and were never a... more

The Mauna Lani is a wonderful resort! We were here for a wedding with all the extended family, ranging from age 3 to mid 60's and everyone loved it! There is so much to do, and the staff truly dotes on the guests! My children, ages 3, 8, 11 and 13 loved that they could get complimentary boogie boards, snorkeling... more
