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.

We had a great experience with Cynthia of Pacific Dream Photography. She was fantastic: talented, patient, friendly and efficient. In about 40 minutes before sunset, we got some incredible family photos with 3 generations. What a treat. Thank you Cynthia!

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. Room was modern and tasteful, and extremely clean. Took the free canoe ride, which was super fun and scenic. Lovely beach and at night, you can easily see the mantas swim up to Manta Point. There is also a manta night swim that launches from the beach.

Poor ability to control night noise levels. Tractor mowers on golf course waking everyone up at 4.30am . Complaints were treated with contempt and told it was for the golfers!!!!! Same again next night. Hotel guests obviously don't rate like the golfers

We used the hotel's photography service to capture photos of the 3 generations of our family. Our photographer Ryan Easton was fantastic - especially great with kids (even came ready with bubbles) and patient with everyone. The editing and turnaround was so fast and ready the next day. Great experience and the photos turned out great!
