This hotel is absolutely perfect. We chose this stay for our honeymoon and it was nothing short of perfect. I have never been to a place with better staff. The rooms are immaculate. We booked the backend few days of our trip at Turtle Bay and though nice we wished we would have done the entire trip at Mauna Lani. Overall 10/10. We will definitely be back and would recommend this spot to anyone. The restaurants, coffee shop, and amenities were all amazing. We could not recommend better and do not have a single fault to mention. Thank you for being the perfect spot to honeymoon and make amazing memories! -The Patcheck’s

The property is absolutely beautiful. The entire staff is the epitome of the aloha spirit. Food and drink are outstanding. The Sunrise Canoe Experience is exceptional. We want to give a special shout out to Kamu at the Surf Shack, Joe and Joel at the Canoe House Bar, and, of course, Uncle Danny and Aunty Anna.

Simply amazing. Wonderful property. Very relaxed and open architecture with great flow to the whole place. Beautiful snorkeling right off the beach. Seriously fabulous food. Very nice rooms. Because it is only somewhat more expensive than other resorts on the island it is by far the best deal in terms of the experience you get. The service is truly excellent and thoughtful, the facilities look and feel luxurious and the vibe is everything you want in a relaxing and fun vacation.

Second stay at this property; returned because they offer extremely accessible casual and guided snorkeling options as well as beautiful grounds and historic fish ponds to explore. We stayed for 7 days. We spent the majority of our stay in an ocean front suite which was perfect, with a soaking tub overlooking the beach and soothing sounds of the ocean. I didn’t want ever want to leave! The resort grounds and design are gorgeous. Extremely dreamy and thoughtful atmosphere. The food is executed very well at HaLani, the Surf Shack, and of course at the adjacent Canoe House. The pools are beautifully designed. The addition of the swim up bar at the adults pool is fantastic. Drinks are creative and delicious. The price point is elevated which is reflected everywhere at this resort except in the consistency and disposition of the staff. We had some less than stellar interactions. That being said, there are plenty of extremely helpful and joyful individuals. I need to note that I deeply enjoyed my conversations with Kaz and Angel at the front desk, Jason in the spa, and Jingle and Rio at HaLani, among countless others whose names I am disappointed to not remember.
