Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Mauna Lani. The resort grounds' beautiful, the layout is nice and really family friendly. Food was great at all the restaurants. Canoe House was our fav, everything we tried were delicious. Halani for breakfast was good too, not a big buffet selection but what they had were consistently good. During our stay, they had the special menu curated from Top Chef at Surf Shack and we enjoyed everything we tried. The most disappointing part was the room for the price point, it was small, tile floor looked dirty/worn out and didn't really not have an ocean view as per our booking. We asked to be moved but they couldn't accommodate it until several days later, so we opted out. The best part of the room was probably the location, because it was conveniently located close to the beach, pool and restaurants. The beach was ok, a bit more rocky than we were expecting. The water was nice and clear though. The kids enjoyed the paddle boards & snorkling. The service was great for majority of our stay. There were only a couple of staff members that didn't seem to be happy to be there, specifically one at Surf Shack and another one at the pool. Everyone else at the resort were amazing and helpful. Shoutout to the staff at Halani, house keeping and the valet staff, they were all wonderful.

Fabulous location. Hotel and grounds. All staff were so great and all the activities they can arrange are fabulous. We loved the live music at the surf shack for sunset cocktails, beach club restaurant for dinner, snorkelling with so many fish and turtles right off the beach and the Manta Ray trip. The Lu’au was amazing too. We will definitely return

Property felt exclusive, relaxing, and quiet. Staff was impeccably attentive. We felt like we were at home (if home was on the Kohala Coast).

We've been to luxury resorts as a family before, but this was by far the most family friendly while also being top notch in food, service & accommodations. A great mix where everyone was comfortable and not too stuffy CanoeHouse restaurant was excellent food and atmosphere overlooking the beach and watch the sunsets. While we were enjoying fine dining food, our kids were able to comfortable run around in the lawn and play as kids. Service poolside and beach side was extra attentive The ocean activities were very accommodating to younger and older kids (ours were 6, 8, and 11yo), we especially loved snorkeling excursion with Kayanu My favorite part as a mom, they have complimentary laundry room so you can wash your clothes mid trip and not have to pay pricey laundry service
