Beautiful resort from the moment you come in greeted with a lei, you feel special! Great attention to details, beach, pool, snorkeling, outdoor activities are great. The room was amazing with great views. Staff is super friendly and attentive. The best part was the location! Whales breaching right off shore where you can see them. Canoe/snorkeling tour was top notch experience. private beaches/coves to walk through. Sea turtles everywhere and loved that locals took great care to educate tourists not to come too close. I can't wait to come back.

Mauna Lani is our favorite hotel in Hawaii and a place we return to again and again as a family. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious while still feeling special, which makes it perfect with kids. The food across the property is consistently excellent, and every meal feels thoughtful and easy. What truly sets Mauna Lani apart, though, is the staff - warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, especially to families. It’s the rare resort that feels luxurious without being stuffy, and welcoming without being chaotic. We always leave already planning our next visit.

It was just okay. Best part was the property views and location. Canoehouse and breakfast were standouts otherwise I would stay elsewhere for the price point.

Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection is exceptional. The beachfront setting on the Kohala Coast is beautiful, with stunning ocean views and sunsets. The resort feels relaxed yet luxurious, with spacious, elegant rooms and excellent amenities including pools, beach access, scenic paths, and a wonderful spa. Dining was great, especially the fresh seafood, and the warm, attentive service truly stood out. A perfect Big Island resort that I would happily return to and highly recommend.

Resort exceeded our expectations. Traveled with our family of 5 (late teen / early 20's adult children) and were able to upgrade to an premium adjoining room on arrival. The upgrade charge was reasonable given the amount of space we were able to gain. Hotel staff were excellent and Pete (GM) went out of the way to check in on us during our stay. Sasha at the concierge desk was extremely helpful. Overall, couldn't have been happier with our decision to stay at Muna Lani and would do it again if we come back to the big island.
