      "Comfy and great location." Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013

      This hotel is nothing fancy but it is very comfortable. Our room was on the street side overlooking the pool. The hotel is located at a busy intersection on one side (the pool side) and the waterfront is on the other side, across the street. It is located at the very end of the long stretch of tourist shops, hotels and restaurants and I liked being away from the busiest action. About a block from a quiet, little sandy beach with snorkeling, calm swimming and board/kayak rentals. Also walking distance from fast food, a big box store, and a good brewery/restaurant. I can think of only a couple of "cons"- there were teeny tiny ants in our bathroom so we couldn't leave anything setting out and the fact that nothing in the area is open late. We arrived at night and had difficulty finding a place to eat nearby. Some of my family members stayed at a more expensive hotel up the street but I would stay at this hotel again. Perfectly comfortable for those that do not intend to spend much time in the room anyway.

      "" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013

      My wife and my stay at the Aston Shores at Waikoloa was superior. We had a two-bedroom, two-bath unit and there was a deck that went off both bedrooms and the large livingroom-dining room...The staff was outstanding...The cleanliness was perfect...The location couldn't have been better. The Aston Shores is part of a larger resort area that has two big malls that included several outstanding restaurants, and a golf course...For those looking to exercise, there is plenty of room to walk around the complex...You don't need to leave the Aston Shores but if you so choose, you are not far from the wonderful town of Kona with all its restaurants and shops...We wish we didn't have to leave but our vacation was over and we had to return home.

      "Noisey KONA hotel" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 20, 2013

      The front desk refused to move us. We asked to switched rooms and they kept saying check back with us 3x a day when they could have just written down our name and called us back. The little dark haired skinny young man at the front desk was especially rude. We had to run the Air Con all night and the fan just so we didn't hear car NOISE on the main drag all day and all night..The hotel is like an apartment complex right on the main drag on Alii drive. We had to switch hotels after 2 nights there. Would never stay there again...

      "Value motel" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 16, 2013

      The Lodge is in an inland mid-point area of the island, in ranch country. It's a drive to either shore but less of one than if you'd stayed in Hilo and drove to Kona for the day, for example. The room was BIG, with two queen-sized beds. The bathroom, while adequate, needs maintenance of the sheet vinyl floor and the lower door. The TV is old and the cable system funky, but you may not be in the room all that much. If you're looking for a resort, this is not it. If you are going to drive around Hawaii anyway, and want a value home base, this could work.

    Overview of Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows - Kamuela

    Location. The beachfront Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows is located along the Kohola Coast in Waikoloa, Hawaii. The hotel rises from the midst of a 16th-century lava flow, known as Kalahuipua'a. This ancestral home of Hawaiian monarchs is three miles from the Puako Petroglyphs and five miles from Puukohola Heiau.

    Hotel Features. The CanoeHouse features ocean views and is open for dinner daily. Bay Terrace offers daily breakfasts in its open-air, garden dining room. Conference rooms, a business center and wireless Internet access are provided. The Fire & Ice spa features specialty services including the Opu Huli, Lomilomi Hula and Pohaku Pa'a treatments. Carefully preserved ancient Hawaiian fishponds, petroglyphs, archaeological sites and marine life, including green sea turtles and tropical fish, punctuate this Big Island resort. Two on-site, 18-hole golf courses are built around the lava formations. A fitness center is available, as are historic and fish-feeding tours, water sports, nearby horseback riding, and a children's camp.

    Guestrooms. Renovated March 2010, all guestrooms feature private lanais and tropical-inspired decor. Bathrooms contain dual marble sinks, make-up mirrors, bathrobes, slippers, and designer toiletries. Furnishings include a couch, desk and chairs, and a coffee table. Rooms also feature coffeemakers with Kona coffee and minibars. Complimentary wireless and high-speed wired Internet access are provided, as is a 32-inch LCD television.

    Expert Tip. This unique property is the only locale where the five surrounding Hawaiian mountain peaks, Kaleakala, Hualalai, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and the Kohala Mountains, can be viewed.

    Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Our room was a reasonable size with a king bed. Spacious balcony. The tub was small and looked to be very old. The carpet... is ready for replacement. The pool and area around it were not inspiring, although the small beach did provide access to the ocean, which we've learned is a plus anywhere in Hawaii. We passed on golf, the courses looked to be practically empty, but the rates quoted in the pro shop were still ridiculously high. $18 a day for parking is a joke. Most of the employees were very friendly and helpful. by Joec  from Pennsylvania on 05/15/13

    Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows Kohala Coast - Waikoloa

    A short guide to Kohala Coast - Waikoloa

    Luxury resorts, sprawling golf courses, and white sands line the Kohala Coast – Waikoloa. Hawaii’s sunniest coast is a must-go for beachgoers. It is also known as the cradle to King Kamehameha, Hawaii’s greatest king. His influence can be seen at the nearby Pu’ukohola Heiau National Historic Site, where visitors can see the temple of war he built before unifying the Hawaiian Islands.

    Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Our room was a reasonable size with a king bed. Spacious balcony. The tub was small and looked to be very old. The carpet is ready for replacement. The pool and area around it were not inspiring, although the small beach did provide access to the ocean, which we've learned is a plus anywhere in Hawaii. We passed on golf, […] the courses looked to be practically empty, but the rates quoted in the pro shop were still ridiculously high. $18 a day for parking is a joke. Most of the employees were very friendly and helpful. Read more

    The hotel was just perfect. The rooms were lovely. We didn't stay to eat but once, and that experience was delicious. The beaches were awesome, snorkling equipment was no charge. The coffee/tea shop was lovely. What was especially impressive were the grounds. We just loved the place and would stay no where else if and when we come back to Hawaii.

    Great check in experience with a cool wash cloth and juice. Upgraded room was nice. Very friendly staff everywhere. Even the engineer who had to unplug the toilet after our son plugged it. Loved the free bikes to run to the store. The hotel looks a little dated but was very clean. The pool was great for our son. The best beach was a short walk past […] the fish ponds. There was not many activities for our son. No kids club like some other resorts. Overall a very good hotel. Read more

    Beautiful Location and great hospitality. It is more of a low-key area on the island, so it may be best for those who need a romantic getaway or for those who prefer less tourists. All of the great Big Island attractions are only a car-ride away so make sure to book a rental car in advance. But if you need to just relax, the resort has all you need […] to enjoy a great vacation. In terms of scenery, ocean view, and weather conditions this is the best choice compared to other resort locations on The Big Island. Read more

    The setting and grounds were beautiful and the beach turned out to be a snorkeling treasure (when the currents weren't running). The rrom was fine, nothing special and the service was quick and friendly. Our biggest gripe was the cost of everything, parking, internet, food and shops. This was our first stay at a "luxury" class hotel, and we weren't […] quite prepared for sticker shocks. Pretty remote location, but I'm sure that's an objective of many who stay here. Overall, however, given the lovely setting and access to the beach, we'll recommend the hotel. Read more

    Hotel was in the process of completing a renovation-some of the bungalows and the poolside bar. There are two other restaurants and one coffee shop so this did not have a huge impact regarding food availability. It will be nice though once they reopen the bar as it would be nice to grab a quick drink/snack/sandwich when you just want to hang out at […] the pool. I would highly recommend this resort especially for the price we paid. We booked through hotels.com and got a great deal. The hotel itself offered a "bed and breakfast package" that included the breakfast buffet for an additional $100/day which is not worth it as the buffet is only $31/per person. Read more

The service was great - whether is was at the reception, concierge or valet. They did indeed value their guests! But, we were disappointed by the rooms/bathroom/balcony furniture/hallway. The hallway leading up to the room […] was not the cleanest, the carpets needed to be changed, basically the entire hallway wasnt well kept/cleaned. The room was very spacious, but lacked character and looked like it needed a renovation. The bathroom fixtures were dated and needed a complete renovation (though, this was also very spacious). It had the toto washlet, which was a nice feature! But, otherwise, we were not impressed. The balcony had a great view, but the furniture felt old and rusted. we had expected more luxurious furniture (like maybe the cane chair with cushion, rather than the old rusted metal chairs). Overall, I would love to go back here if the rooms are renovated! Read more

    We learned when we arrived that our room would be facing loud construction. Not a big deal except that this was the sunset facing room which is what we were hoping for. They accomodated with an opposite facing room which was fine. The hotel seemed empty dated a bit. Staff was exceptionally friendly so we were pleased by that. overall a 3.5 out of 5 […] if i had to rate it. Read more

    A couple points... this is Hawaii so expect $$$ meals but breakfast for 2 adults and 2 young kids running over $80 is a bit much. Although the breakfast buffet is really good I'd recommend going to the Hawaiian Style Cafe about 10 miles away. There was extensive construction and demo going on during our stay. It sounded like a war zone for a couple […] days with a backhoe tearing down a little building by the pool. However, the hotel made it right at checkout time. Like others have said it is awesome having free snorkel equipment, lawnchairs and surfboards. That saved a lot of money. The drinks by the pool and on the beach were around $8-10 which is pretty reasonable in my book. We all enjoyed the hotel and the staff. We will definitely be back again in a year or so. The beach at the hotel is nice but there are several awesome beaches within a 10 minute drive also. We spent most of our time at Puako Beach or "Beach 69" which is amazing and the snorkeling is fantastic. Ask the staff about this beach and definitely check it out. Like I said, overall huge thumbs up. I doubt we will ever stay anywhere else on the Big Island. Read more

    Great stay. Recommend using the beach for members around the corner from hotel if planning to do a lot of swimming or snorkeling. They have started a 30 million $ renovation project.

    My wife and I just returned from a week long stay. This is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The resort area is pretty large and they have a lot of nice amenities and services available. The fish ponds around the hotel are very cool and really add to the tropical feel. The beach was nice and the "Beach […] Club" area a short walk away from the hotel has some pretty good snorkeling. The food at the restaurants was excellent. The prices for food were a little steep, but not outside the normal range for the area. The sunsets are gorgeous and perfect for a romantic dinner experience. The area surrounding the resort is a pretty barren due to old lava flows so you will need to do some driving if you want to explore nature outside the resort. It's a big island, so that might mean a lot of driving. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to vacation on the Big Island. Read more

    While showing its age a bit, the grounds are impeccable, the service very good, and the rooms classy and comfortable. The beach and surrounding walks, golf courses and restaurants are visually stimulating. The resort is a great launching point to surrounding areas of interest. Because they charge for parking ($18/night) and internet ($15/night), and […] because the decor is becoming slightly dated (though very well maintained with a degree of elegance), the rating a a strong 4-stars.

    We went with a group of 6 family member including one 4 year old. The hotel was great for kids with a few kid friendly beaches, kids activities to learn about Hawaiian culture, a historical and pteroglyph park, easy beginner snorkling, kids pool, safe big pool, and Hawaiian fish ponds with turtles and sharks and tropical fish for kids to go gaga over. […] Location wise it was easy to tour the whole island and was not as busy touristy as Waikoloa but was close enough (3 miles) to go over there to hit a luau. Staff was very friendly and my son loved talking with them about geckos and sea life. The grounds are amazing. Only downfall was the shower did have a little grunge and one night the cleaning staff did not fully do our room. Read more

    We have been going to the Mauna Lani for over 20 years and love it there. I love the smoothies and pop cycles we get at the pool every day. We love the free snorkel gear and free cabana's. With the economic atmosphere changing it is unfortunate that the hotel now charges for parking, internet, coffee, tea and a portage fee. This hotel was one of the […] last hold outs to do so. When they start charging their hotel guests for the hotels cabanas then that will be a deal breaker for us. This was the last time our conference will be held at the Mauna Lani which is an end of an era for us. I'm begging you Mauna Lani to hold out on charging for the cabana's we may get back there afterall. Thanks to the staff for the wonderful treatment we got during the tusnami evacuation. Everything went smoothly and there was nothing that the staff would not have done for us. All of you guys are the best.l Read more

    We just spent a week at the Mauna Lani and had a nice time. We upgraded to a room with a view of the beach which made all the difference in the world. The room was nice nothing spectacular except the view which was stunning. The breakfasts were very good, the grill was mediocre and their upscale restaurant was good; all were typical Hawaiian prices […] I.e. ridiculously expensive. Because of the location of the hotel we had to plan our days around where we were going to eat so that we weren't dining at the hotel for all our meals. One thing that would really improve this hotel would be a bar that was open in the evening so h There was someplace to congregate. Read more

    Although, as others have noted, the hotel looks like it's a little dated, that's about the only slightly negative you can say about Mauna Lani. The grounds and hotel are amazingly well kept and super clean. Lawns and flower beds are meticulously manicured and the various water features are also well kept. The only negative experience I had was with […] the staff manning the beach hut where you get your snorkel gear and towels. These employees all seemed to always be very rude and not nearly as helpful as all the other hotel employees. Also, the hotel and everything surrounding it (including the restaurants) are not for those who are on a budget. You pay for what you get. Read more

    I highly recommend this hotel. It's not too far from the Kona airport. I also like that it was not located in the major town of Kailua Kona where the majority of tourists stay. It's also much warmer here, it was at least 10 degrees warmer. It was close enough to drive to Waimea for dinner and not too far away from Kailua Kona if you want to hang out […] with more locals, get anything from major chains like Target and do a Kona coffee tour. It is about 2 1/2 hours from Hilo so plan your day accordingly. The hotel staff are friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend the oceanfront view. It's worth the price. The hotel is serene and quiet. The Canoe House restaurant on its property is on the pricey side, but the food was fresh and fantastic. It is a resort so of course you can expect to pay higher prices for the convenience. But the resort was not too crowded. You can relax on their beach and you can easily access any state park beach if you don't want to be so isolated. But if you lounge at the resort, they offer great amenities like towels, free snorkel gear, canopy lounge beds and you can order food/drinks right from your sunbathing spot. It's a great place for couples or families. The hotel offers a free shuttle to their shopping center that has some more restaurant options, supermarket, etc. They also have a great golf course and spa facility. You really don't have to leave if you don't have to. It's a little community. It's a perfect relaxing vacation. Read more

    Great resort. We really enjoyed it and were happy that we stayed at the Mauna Lani. We stayed there for a week for an "emergency stress reduction vacation".....we picked well!! Everyone was super nice, and the hotel is very nice, and well kept. Even though a large hotel, it felt fairly quiet and intimate. Beach was very nice. Breakfast very good, although […] expensive like everything in Hawaii. Really no negatives. The Canoe House had great atmosphere, and is worth eating there one night-although the food was not the best we had on the Island. The only other place we checked out was the Marriott...and made us extremely happy we stayed at the Mauna Lani. Ocean View rooms are very nice. I'm sure Ocean front are extremely nice, but the upgrade was the same as a very good dinner out, so we opted for Ocean View. We would definitely stay there again. Read more

    I couldn't decide between this hotel and Mauna Kea. After visiting the later to go to a luau, I'm really glad I picked this hotel. The beach was bigger at Mauna Kea, but the beach amenities I think is better at Mauna Lani. There were tons of comfy lounge chairs with adjustable covers -- we never had a problem finding a spot on the beach. And since the […] chairs had built in covers, we didn't have to worry finding one under a shade in the event it gets too hot. The spa was great! The service was done outdoors in little private huts (I had the lomi lomi massage). The room was awesome too. It was spacious and clean. The staff was very prompt in cleaning them and leaves chocolates on pillows after they're done cleaning (the best part about coming back to a clean room) Read more
