“Magical Mauna Lani”

Our stay at the Mauna Lani was wonderful! The hotel is stunning and we felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel like Ohana. Our room was clean, beautifully decorated and we watched the sunrise from our bed each day. Don't be mistaken - the mountain view is amazing! We ate in all the restaurants which individually have their own vibe and delicious menu. The best part of our trip was the Sunrise Canoe, which was much more than just a ride in a boat. Our Hawaiian guides passionately shared the island's history and it was the most memorable experience of our vacation. I highly recommend the resort.

“Mauna Lani is as good as it gets, with a couple of honest notes”

We stayed at Mauna Lani in May and it genuinely exceeded expectations. The resort has this rare combination of being completely relaxed while still feeling elevated. Nothing feels stuffy, but everything feels intentional. If you're debating whether it's worth it, it is. The staff is the real differentiator. Every single department, the adult pool team, both bars, housekeeping, even the pickleball coach, was warm, attentive, and clearly took pride in what they do. Our pickleball coach in particular was so personable he made that afternoon one of the most memorable parts of the trip. Don't skip the courts. Food and drinks are excellent. Make a reservation at HaLani before you arrive. The food was a highlight and the drinks matched. The pool bar and main bar were both consistently good throughout the stay. Take advantage of the complimentary shuttle service. They pick you up in clean, new vehicles and will take you anywhere on property including the fitness center, but also off property for dinner. We had a reservation at Brown's Beach House about 10 minutes away and they took us door to door. That kind of convenience at no extra cost is a nice touch that adds up over a few days. One honest tip: avoid the coffee shop. On our first morning my wife and I each ordered an iced latte and neither one was drinkable. We left them on the table and didn't go back for the rest of the trip. For a resort operating at this level it stood out, and not in a good way. On the room temperature, we kept the AC and fan on max the entire stay and still needed the balcony door open to stay comfortable. In May it was manageable. I'd think twice about a summer trip until that gets sorted. Neither of those things would stop us from coming back. Mauna Lani is a 10/10 resort with a couple of areas still catching up to the rest of the experience.

“The Resort That Had Our Children Asking When We Could Return”

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but our experience at Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection was nothing short of extraordinary. As a family who frequently stays at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, largely because of their consistency in service, hospitality, and attention to detail, we admittedly have very high standards. A close friend encouraged us to experience Mauna Lani last year, and after our first visit, our children immediately began asking when we could return. We just returned from our second stay, and once again, leaving was the hardest part. From the breathtaking setting to the thoughtful amenities for both adults and kids, every detail feels intentionally curated. What stood out most, however, was the people. Having grown up between Oahu and San Diego, I have a deep appreciation for genuine Hawaiian hospitality, and the team at Mauna Lani embodies the true spirit of aloha in a way that feels sincere, warm, and unforgettable. For those considering an even more elevated experience, I cannot recommend the Francis Brown Club highly enough. This offering is ideal for a romantic getaway or traveling with young children, it just adds another layer of personalization and ease that makes an already exceptional stay feel even more special. What impressed me most is how thoughtfully the entire guest experience has been designed. Every offering feels personal rather than transactional. My husband and I found ourselves planning our next visit before we had even checked out. Highest recommendation. This is the kind of place your family will return to for years to come.

“First time in Hawaii”

The venue is great to relax and the nature (birds, sea turtles at the beach) were a complimentary attraction. Since this was my first time in the Big Island, I was surprised by the number of rocks at the the beach water, felt some shoes could be provided by hotel upon check-in or at beach area.
