Our Great Hawaii Vacations Review

This is a hotel experience to remember. If you want to be pampered, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel will surpass your expectations. An unparalled beach, championship golf and tennis, notable cuisine, gracious service and the legend continues.

Property Description

The world-renowned deluxe Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is located on beautiful Kauna'oa Bay, considered by many to be the island's single most picturesque beach.
The crescent-shaped beach with pure white sands and shimmering aqua waters, is perfect for water activities including swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, kayaking, catamaran riding, whale watching and deep-sea fishing. Even at night, guests of the Mauna Kea Beach Resort step onto a circular lava outcropping overlooking the bay to watch the manta rays swim beneath.
A testament to earlier times when his world-class resort paid tribute to the ancient Hawaiian spirit, Laurance Rockefeller's vast collection of Asian and Pacific art still graces the walls and lush tropical grounds of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.
The South Kohala Coast offers several deluxe resort communities: Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, and Waikoloa. Each resort area is a short drive from the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Enjoy great golf, beaches, shopping and restaurants in each of these resort areas.

Newly Renovated and Nicer Than I Remember

This was my first time back to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in about 8 years. A friend of mine had booked with Great Hawaii Vacations for an April trip and really enjoyed his stay, so I followed suit and booked. The room makeover was great, and tastefully redone with the Mauna Kea flair (think orange!). The beach is still wonderful, the food still great. The service was above average. I am now seeing that rates are coming down on this hotel, and I will be going back would recommend this property for any couple looking for an above average resort experience in Hawaii.
