The bungalow was incredibly spacious and comfortable, and we absolutely loved the private pool and jacuzzi. Dinner at sunset at Canoe House was unforgettable, but the absolute highlight of our trip was the private snorkeling excursion on the hotel's private boat—it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will cherish forever. As for the beach, it was quite pebbly and had less wave action during the day, making it less accessible than Maui’s beaches, but it was still a much better and more relaxing experience than Waikiki. What made our stay even more perfect was the exceptional service. The prompt and professional response from the resort manager, Melissa, was truly outstanding. Additionally, the quick feedback and warm, friendly attitude of Ian, who looked after us, left a lasting impression. If I ever return to the Big Island, I will definitely stay at this hotel again. Highly recommended!

The Mauna Lani is the finest resort hotel that I have ever experienced. My family and I sincerely appreciated the beautiful facilities and grounds and the absolutely extraordinary service that we encountered throughout the resort.

It was an incredibly beautiful place to celebrate our anniversary and our grandchildren’s 13th birthdays! The atmosphere and the private residence were SUPERB!! It is VERY expensive and everything you do is an add on cost!

Some of the worst service I have ever had, especially for the prices. 45 minutes to bring bags up, 3 hours waiting on a room, and they kick you out of your room and areas of the hotel when they decide to put solar panels on the roof instead of shutting down.

Small but beautiful location, service more bare bones than would expect from an auberge. A pleasant stay but quality did not meet cost.
