Mauna Kea Beach Hotel

I have been here before which is why I returned… unbelievable hotel and beach and setting and staff…. Top 3 of my hotel stays… love this amazing place

It’s our new favorite! We were sad to leave after 6 nights. The grounds are beautiful, loved the amazing beach, the new adult infinity pool and our spacious, renovated room. Perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The resort feels very secluded but is drivable to VNP, Akaka Falls, Waipai’o Valley and other sites around the Island. We can’t say enough good things about the dedicated, kind and hard working staff. Especially the ladies at the Front Desk and Ledie in the Front Office. They went above and beyond. We were truly impressed. Housekeeping was also on point. Great recognition of Platinum Bonvoy status with an upgrade to a gorgeous deluxe golf view room with 2 balconies and a huge walk-in closet, a welcome treat/departure gift and a late check out. They also comped the hot and cold Manta breakfast buffet, instead of just cold, due to the spa construction. We hope that they keep offering this even after the spa is open. We already miss those delicious breakfasts out on the Manta lanai. Wonderful service, gorgeous view, perfect for whale watching. Any issues? Yep. We had the worst waiter ever at the Copper Bar, a sickening chicken enchilada dinner from Hau Tree, and a constant engine hum on our balcony, maybe from the golf restaurant exhaust fans? We got over it. The days flew by riding the waves, snorkeling, walking the Ala Kahakai trail, lounging at the adult pool and hot tub. Sunset felt like a celebration and it was very cool to see the manta rays swimming at Manta Point after dark. Mauna Kea really felt like our home in Paradise. We even used the free laundry machines mid-stay. We should have stayed longer! A+

We try and come every year at valentines . This was our first stay post Reno and it was good. Hear is always top notch, room was warm woods and nice walk in closet, excellent bath.. still L’occitane products .turn down. All the nice sunsets, sunrises, yoga now included .. May Pilates extra but loved the class, pickle ball and even mahjong. Wish I could make it to lei making one of these visits. Thanks For the shuttle to meridia one night..and all the delicious and beautiful moments

We had a great experience with Cynthia of Pacific Dream Photography. She was fantastic: talented, patient, friendly and efficient. In about 40 minutes before sunset, we got some incredible family photos with 3 generations. What a treat. Thank you Cynthia!

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. Room was modern and tasteful, and extremely clean. Took the free canoe ride, which was super fun and scenic. Lovely beach and at night, you can easily see the mantas swim up to Manta Point. There is also a manta night swim that launches from the beach.
