This is my favorite hotel I've ever stayed at. The design and ambiance is incredible. You could stop and sit anywhere in the hotel and it would be a nice environment. There is also ample space so that you're never fighting for space at the pool or beach. There is snorkeling right there at the beach. There's also a nice grocery store a few minutes down the road if you want to pick up any snacks for a day trip. The hotel is family friendly but also has a nice adult-only pool area.

What a hotel and what an experience! Commendable service and the entire team, taking of so many guest with so much warmth and hospitality. Best hotel experience ever. Lots of activities to do in the property with paying a penny. Amazing food and drinks scene. Peaceful, comfy and cozy stay! Very strongly recommended.

Location is superb. Service is below average. Kind and pleasant but not anticipatory at all . Adult pool is loud and not managed to feel like a luxury product.

I really love this hotel, though I do feel like some of the service has gone down. The location and beachfront views are stunning and the snorkeling here is incredible. They offer amazing experiences at a reasonable price. It is a kid friendly resort which can be annoying, especially at the beach and in the restaurants.

We took 9 of us to celebrate a big birthday. We had been planning it for over a year and decided on the Auberge Mauna Lani because we thought a 5 star hotel would treat us as 5 star customers. That was unfortunately not the case. The service was just so so from our "personal" concierge to the pool guys setting up the beach chairs. The restaurants lacked consistent service and the food was good for the 9 and 6 year old grand kids. For the rest of us, they were marginal at best. Canoe House was the exception. For what we paid for 4 rooms and an ocean front suite, the value was just not there.
