Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows - Hawaii (The Big Island)

We stayed 4 nights here on vacation. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and they don't charge any bogus fees. We even got upgraded to a ground floor room. The only negative I would say is there are limited options in terms of dining as the nearest town is quite far. But the resort food is excellent, abeit pricey.

I would go back here in a heartbeat. It is super nice..great little beach and pool plus the staff is very freindly and kind.

The service is wonderful, location is ideal. Hotel gave us free upgrade , which was nice and a great value. At pool they provide samples of smoothies and ice cream bars. At beach, they have all the equipment you'd want. Other beaches may have more waves or better snorkeling, but they are easily accessible nearby. Restaurants/Food is very good and many […] other nearby options at nearby hotels. Family loved the vacation. Read more

As an experienced resort traveler, I found that the Mauna Lani exceeded my expectations in almost every way. From the moment we checked in, the service was impeccable. This may not be the most sophisticated of the hotels in the area, or the most expensive, but the overall experience was second to none. The hotel is big enough to have all the facilities […] almost anyone would want, from great golf courses to a fitness center, to plenty of secluded beach seating, but intimate enough because of the great service, that one never feels like you're in a large, impersonal chain. A couple of small negatives. The week we were there the hotel hosted an award trip for about 200 farmers and seed sales people from the Midwest. They definitely diminished the urbanity of the guests that week, and you wouldn't find a group like this at the Four Seasons. Second, the beach is relatively small and loaded with lava rock. Even with these two negatives, we loved every minute of our stay and highly recommend this hotel. Read more

This hotel is really beautiful and in a great location that is convenient to Waikaloa, and Waimea. The staff is very nice and helpful with everything. The only negative things I can say is that the rooms are small and pretty dark. There are nicer hotels in the area like the Four Seasons and Waikaloa Hilton, but they will be much more money. This hotel […] really offers a lot of amenities for the price! Read more

This hotel was one fo the first resorts on the big island. It still is kept in immaculate condition though some areas of age (barely noticable). All the staff are amazing, friendly and helpful. Room is super clean, has luxurious - we had great views of the sunset and mountains. Get a room on the mountain side, better view as well as pool could get loud. […] resort is perfectly situatied. Has its own golf course, spa (amazing!), and private beach. Close to Waimea, Kona, and all the west coast beaches and adventures. Easy options to get to Hilo. The free snorkel equip, wifi, and valet parking are huge pluses! Read more

I had heard of this great hotel over the years. I found it on Hotels.com and made a reservation for a long weekend. (We were already on Oahu.) We loved everything about this hotel - the facility, location, setting, service, dining, and most of all the very friendly staff. I also appreciated the fact that this hotel does not nickel and dime you to death. […] They provide complimentary bikes, snorkel gear, etc. There was never a sense of getting fleeced. I highly recommend the Mauna Lani! Read more

My fiance and I took a 2 week vacation to Hawaii and ended our trip at the Mauna Lani hotel (4 nights). This is just what we needed to getaway and relax. The beach was GORGEOUS and the chairs/cabanas were free to use. We really enjoyed the hotel and found that it was quiet and not at full capacity. We were able to lay on the beach and felt like we were […] the only ones there. The only downfall was that everything seemed to shut down by 8:30 or 9:00. We would typically go for a late dinner and they were already closed. We did eat several nights at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse at "The Shops" on the hotels grounds (this was priced the same as the resort food and was amazing). We will definitely be returning to the Mauna Lani, but if you are looking for more nightlife then this is not for you. Read more

Perfect.

Was very happy with the Mauna Lani. The staff was very friendly and the accommodations excellent. We liked the laid back atmosphere while still in a luxurious setting. The food at all hotel restaurants was excellent, especially the Canoe House. Would definitely come back again.

We just got back from a wonderful week at the Mauna Lani with our three children. It is my new favorite hotel on the big island. It has a lovely, low key, peaceful feeling to it even during the busy holiday season. The pool and beach facilities were fabulous. It's not a huge pool, but it's big enough. If you want the giant pool with waterslides and […] waterfalls, go elsewhere. The beach was wonderful and the staff at the beach hut were so nice. It's a really great protected beach, perfect for all ages and activities. Snorkeling was outstanding at the nearby beach club (10 minute walk). As with all Hawaiian hotels, the restaurants are expensive and there are only a few options at the hotel. We rented a car so that we could explore other eating options. At the hotel, we ate most of our lunches and a few dinners at the Ocean Grill, the more casual poolside/beachside grill .This was perfect for kids and the food was consistently good. Read more

We loved our stay with the Manui Lani. Everything was great from the moment we arrived on property until we left. They treated us wonderfully and everything was better than we could of imagined.

Extremely pleasant. Better than all other resorts except perhaps the Four Seasons, but the Mauna Lani grounds are absolutely uniquely marvelous with sprawling fish ponds and walking areas. Tennis courts are nearby and overall, there's a lovely airy feeling at the resort. Abundant sea turtles feeding at the waters edge at many times throughout the day! The […] southern most coves have outstanding snorkeling spots and a short drive to "49 Black-sand beach" is worthwhile for an early snorkeling. Dinner at the Canoe House is top-notch!. Highly recommended over the Fairmont Orchid, which is not as glamorous. Stay here and drive to Four Seasons for lunches or dinner! The island is a Lava desert and the Mauna Lani is one of the best oasis on the island: certainly the Kohala Coasts' finest. Read more

Everything was really special. Thanks Mauna Lani staff and management

Var på bryllupsrejse og her indgik, 4 nætter på resortet. Rigtig fin service, meget behagelig og imødekommende personale. Værelsene og poolen (dog mellem størrelse) med 2 gange hot tub er super. Håndklæder, internet, fitness er inkluderet i prisen. Stranden lige ved hotellet er ikke en postkort-look strand, men den er privat og hyggelig at slappe af […] ved. Hvis man skal snokle behøver man kun at gå 9 min så kommer man til en fin strand som er kanon snokle muligheder, vi så vel 50 forskellige fisk, koraler m.m. Hvis man vil have super flot strand kan det nås med 5 min i bil. Dette hotel har alle faciliteter og der ligger shops og ydereligere gode spisesteder tæt på. Klart anbefaler hvis du skal på Big Island. Kunne godt havde brugt min 2 ekstra dage. Read more

友人たちとワイコロアのコンドミニアムで過ごし、ゴルフ三昧した後、一人のんびり三泊しました。現地でグレードアップしたので部屋からは海・プール・ゴルフコース・山…となんでもありの絶景！美しいゴルフコースはゲスト料金でプレイでき、リゾート内はシャトルバスで行き来できるし、運転できない女一人でも広大な庭の自宅にいるような快適さでした。賑やかなワイコロアに対してホテルのスタッフもフレンドリーで、近場にパワースポットの散歩コースも多く、リピートしたいホテルでしたぁ♪

新婚旅行で訪れました このあと、ワイキキに泊まりましたがお仕事モード全開のワイキキと違って スタッフがフレンドリーで暖かく、サービスとは何か？ということのひとつの回答がこのホテルにあると思います ウミガメが浜辺をうろついておいたり沖合いにクジラが見えたり ゆったり過ごしたい方にお勧めします

日本語デスクで過ごし方、希望を相談した事で、旅を大いに盛り上げることが出来ました。 言葉に臆する事なく、レストランでの夕食を、最高のロケーションの中で満足の行く時間を楽しめました。 　聞いていた通り、サウスコースは、最高に美しいコースでした。また機会を、作りたいと思います。

Modtagelsen var fin og vi fik fine blomster kranse.Dejligt hotel specielt hvis man opgradere til fuld havudsigt, så kan man nyde solnedgangen. Dårlig dykning med ocean sport....skuffende, dyrt og spild af penge, dårligt organiseret. Hotellets restaurant "Canoe House" var lukket 2 dage om ugen (så var der kun sandwich og burger på hotellet). Man kan […] tage shuttelbussen til 2 andre restauranter istedet. Betjeningen ved poolen var ikke i top, men Canoe House var helt i top. Read more

ハネムーンで一週間滞在しました。特筆すべきはビーチの施設と部屋です。ビーチは、屋根つきのビーチベットがゲストに十分な数だけ用意されています。部屋は木目でクラシカルな落ち着きがあります。アクセスにはレンタカーが便利です。感じのよいベルボーイさん達がいつでもフレンドリーに迎えてくれます。ゲストのための数々のフリーチャージサービスも大変魅力です。コンプリメンタリーの朝のコーヒー、レンタルサイクリング、テニスコート、ジム、プールなどの、ゲストへの無料サービスを自然豊かな広大施設で楽しめます。

ホテルの部屋は綺麗で大変満足でした。ただ、ホテル内のエレベーターが旧式なのか遅いか、故障していました。なお、食事ですが、Canoe Houseの料理は、良い値段ではありましたが、それに見合うおいしい料理でした。（ラムチョップのグリルをおねがいしました。）

初めてのハワイ島旅行でした。大学時代の女ともだち３人の自由旅行でした。ホテルは時期もあってか、日本人は少なく、子連れのかたも少なかったです。静かで波や木がザワザワする音が聞こえてオアフ島とは全く違った滞在が楽しめました。アウトドアでのマッサージは最高でした。ゆっくりしたい方にはおすすめです。一方で、ホテルにもたくさんのアクティビティが用意されており、ホテル内でも数日は楽しめると思います。
