Business incentive and leisure trip. Resort was fantastic all around. Extremely clean and service was best in class. Golf course was excellent as were the pool and beach facilities.

Beautiful property that brings serenity and luxury to your stay. My only complaint is that the restaurants and bars close early. I think there should be at least one bar that closes at midnight for guests who enjoy a night cap.

Highly recommend staying at this resort. Very clean. Service in all areas was excellent. They really spoiled us and made us feel pampered. Great customer service. Food was excellent. Everything was conveniently located on the property. And the free laundry service was a great addition.

Perfection. Every single thing. We arrived earlier than check-in; Went to the pool to relax. A couple of hours later the front desk found us reading our books in lounge chairs by the pool and handed us our keys and welcome packet. The rest of the weekend was similar. Excellent service, very nice room (partial ocean view) and good food at all of the restaurants including poolside. Good gym on site. Weights, TRX, Peloton bikes etc. We did not bother to go to the Sports Center which was a short bike ride away. Our car was waiting for us at the front door when we had to leave early in the am for our flight home. Will be back!

I understand why families keep coming back here generation after generation. We met multiple families/couples who have been visiting the Mauna Lani for decades, and now that our first trip is complete, we can’t wait to return. Incredible stay from start to finish. From Jamie and team at the concierge desk, to Monica/jaymie and team at kids club, to Pono at the surf shack, we had an unforgettable stay. Property itself very well maintained from the pool to the beach. Kiddie pool is great - zero entry and sandy. Just adds to the fun. Entrance of the bigger pool has a long wide bench / shelf great for kids as well. We did not check out the adults only pool, unfortunately. Lobby is gorgeous and sets a perfect tone for the trip. Wide with expansive views. Airy, breezy. Nothing feels too far away / inconvenient to access. The beach and surrounding area are truly magical. Reefs abundant with life. Aqua blue waters, literally. Sea turtles sunbathing along the coast. It’s beyond picture perfect. We spent most of our days exploring the tide pools and wading around the beach. Water temperature is perfect. If it gets a little cold, just grab a mai tai (but watch out for that hypothermia)! On that note, the restaurants / dining experiences were fantastic - surf shack a pleasant place to grab refreshments and CanoeHouse just perfect for sunset dinners. Skinny Mai tais - let’s keep those going! Easy access to local shops in the resort area as well. Barely 0.6 miles from the front door to the local Foodland and Tommy Bahama. Great location for running/cycling as well. About 1.7 miles from the resort to the highway. Easy 4-5 mile loops if you make it to the villas or to the Fairmont Orchid on the other side. I will say, seeing those sunrises while wrapping up the morning runs - chef’s kiss. We are looking forward to coming back, and bringing more along for the ride!
