The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows

Our time at Mauna Lani was truly one of the best experiences of both my husband’s life and mine. From the moment we arrived, every detail made us feel celebrated, valued, and genuinely cared for. Being welcomed with leis, receiving a beautiful ocean-view room, and finding champagne and a photo of Seth and me waiting inside made the beginning of our wedding stay incredibly special. Every part of our experience exceeded our expectations. Our accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, the food at both Hā Bar and HāLani was fresh and delicious, the drinks were wonderful, and the service across the entire property was exceptional. From the concierge and valet teams to the dining, pool bar, and resort staff, everyone was friendly, professional, attentive, and personable. We never once felt unseen or overlooked. Most especially, we cannot speak highly enough of Malia. She personally welcomed us upon arrival, walked us to our ceremony and reception locations, and supported us every step of the way. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease during one of the most meaningful times in our lives. Mauna Lani is an extraordinary property, but it is truly the people who made our experience unforgettable. We will always be grateful for the care shown to us and for the beautiful memories we made there. We could not recommend Mauna Lani—or Malia—more highly!

Our stay at Mauna Lani was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. We stayed on the top floor in an ocean-view room, and the view was breathtaking—palm trees, beautiful lagoons, lush grounds, and the ocean stretching out before us. The atmosphere was peaceful and luxurious, the weather was perfect, and we loved paddleboarding and spending time on the serene beach. We also filmed content for our business, and the beauty and peaceful energy of the property truly inspired some of our best social media content. What made our stay especially memorable, however, was the staff. From our initial check-in to every interaction with the concierge, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. They remembered me by name whenever I called or stopped by with a question, which made the experience feel incredibly personal. One moment especially stayed with us. After I thanked one of the servers for bringing me coffee, he smiled and said, “Thank you for giving us jobs.” What an amazing man and such a beautiful expression of gratitude. He was also singing and bringing such joyful energy to everyone around him. He completely made our day! Mauna Lani is a truly special place, but it is the warmth, attentiveness, and genuine aloha of the people who work there that make it unforgettable. We absolutely loved our stay, wholeheartedly recommend it, and cannot wait to return!

Our stay at Mauna Lani was incredible! We loved the grounds and the hotel itself, and the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. The views of the sunset and the well-preserved loko iʻa made the stay magical. Canoehouse was especially delicious! We'll definitely be back to enjoy Mauna Lani again.

Great for kids. The staff is accommodating and patient. There are kid focused activities, good food available on site and wide open spaces for kids to play in.

My 3rd time there and my husbands firsts, I never have a bad time but WOW this time was just outstanding. Especially while dealing with a hurricane, you couldn't ask for a better place to stay.
