I feel like I'm on Dancing With The Stars...10! 10! 10! Mauna Lani was out of this world. Greeted with a cold refreshing towel and POG juice, the front desk staff was so welcoming. The pool and beach were fantastic - never had to fight for a pool or beach chair, and we were there when it was 100% occupancy. Towels at your disposal going between the two. The family pool is like bath water - SO warm it was so easy to get in everyday and spend the day in there. The adult pool was understandably quiet - tucked away but also with ocean views. The room was fantastic - with different lighting levels based on time of day to determine brightness, great water pressure and I loved the double sinks on the opposite side of the bathroom! There is a mini fridge for every room - super helpful if you have any beverages to keep cold, fruit, etc. I wish I knew before the visit - every floor has a filtered water machine, so no need to purchase bottled water in advance and just need to bring a reusable water bottle. I believe all rooms have a balcony which is a nice perk if you have kids or just want to listen to the sound of the ocean / birds. I am so looking forward to our next trip out there - it can't come soon enough!

Mauna Lani resort is an incredible tropical paradise! It's an upscale resort with excellent accommodations, friendly and helpful staff and wonderful amenities. It seems to be very well managed and staff seems genuinely happy. There are many activities (some included some for additional charge) that are just wonderful! I would say our favorite "activity", besides playing the incredible (South) golf course, was participating in the sunrise canoe paddle one morning. This was a very inspirational, cleansing, even spiritual experience with the two guides sharing their beliefs/connection to the island/ocean/nature of these very beautiful islands!

Not worthy of the Auberge name. Only the canoe house is up to five diamond standards. So many opportunities to make this beautiful property operate better and be the luxury resort it should be.

This was our second time staying at the Mauna Lani and I loved it even more than our first stay. It’s a beautiful property, multiple food options, and fantastic staff. Will definitely be back.

The hotel was perfect in every way. Our entire family (including girls 8 and 5) had an amazing trip. We all agree that we can’t wait to come back.
