The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows

I absolutely loved my stay at Mauna Lani! The entire experience was peaceful, luxurious, and exactly what I needed. The adult-only pool was a serene escape—quiet, relaxing, and never overcrowded. The beach is breathtaking, with soft sand and clear, calm water perfect for swimming or just unwinding. The food was exceptional across the resort—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My room was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and felt like a true retreat at the end of each day. One small suggestion: it would be helpful if guests had access to an ice machine. It’s a minor thing, but it would make a difference for both guests and staff. That said, everything else was perfect—and I’ve already booked my next trip!

My husband I just spent a week at the Mauna Lani celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We had always heard about it but this was our first visit. We found the experience to be thoroughly enjoyable. The property is peaceful, blissful and tasteful. You can see the details in the decor and layout. The food was delicious, especially Canoe House! (Make a reservation in advance!) The service everywhere on property was excellent and the staff were most friendly. The Aloha spirit was apparent. We especially loved our morning canoe snorkel experience. Ian and his co-worker guide were fantastic. They even found an octopus to show us! And Christine at the surf shack rental was extraordinarily kind and helpful. Regena at the pool along with all the pool and beach staff were efficient and very friendly! We loved our morning breakfasts at Ha'lani. Terrific spread at the buffet and the omelet chef was the best! We would also like to give a special shout out to the housekeeping staff who were like invisible fairies! Our lovely room was always clean by the time we came back from breakfast and the turndown service at night was a treat each evening. We cannot wait to return for another visit.

Beautiful location of resort as well as resort itself. Loved the snorkeling, SUP and the historical information provided by Ethan. Also, loved the yoga by Dina.

What a great hotel , this hotel will completely change our life , their views , location and staff everything was incredible . Starting with their restaurant Halani their menu was fabulous!!!! Their staff incredibly warming , Keith was super nice to us gave us some guidance on the Hawaiian tradition and very knowledgeable of the local food and the local surrounding he made our stay very memorable thanks Keith!!!!!!!!

multiple amenities in the room did not work, housekeeping skipped two of our five days. 20% mandatory gratuity for parties of 6 at a buffet? We served ourselves. The architecture is beautiful. Pool is way too small and too many young kids.
