Renovations Notice: Mauna Kea Beach Hotel will undergo renovation starting Q2 2024 and expected to be completed Q3 2025.
There are many reasons Hawaii remains the ideal vacation destination for so many dreamers: from its incomparable beauty to the ever-present aloha spirit, Hawaii is a place to be experienced. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel sits on the Big Island's sandy Kohala Coast as if it was placed there by deities at the beginning of time, and not Lauraunce S. Rockefeller in 1965. Since then, Mauna Kea has undergone numerous renovations, always striving to remain contemporary and stylish, but never losing its understated elegance and distinctive island charm.

Cynthia did an excellent job! Love how she caught details to make our pictures come out best.

We did family photos here with Pacific Dream Photography, followed by a luau. Beautiful property and a great sandy beach. Our photography session was excellent and Cynthia was a joy to work with. The luau was also excellent. Highly recommend both.
