The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows

We stayed here for week for my friend’s 50th birthday! The rooms are modern, comfortable and quiet. Beds are awesome. The property is lovely. We really enjoyed the Complimentary morning yoga in a beautiful setting with quality instructors, adult pool and great poolside service, the market for coffee and and goo breakfast eats, the beach , walking path and lovely adarondak chairs near the beach and fires! We also enjoyed being able to ride bikes to nearby shops and fitness center where we enjoyed playing pickleball. Only recommendation is the poolside and everyday restaurant food and beverage quality needs improvement to match the rest of the resort and the lovely folks working. We will return.

Beautiful property and excellent food. Free WikiWiki golf for everyone staying is an amazing amenity. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel welcomed and looked after. For Kamaaina: You need a Hawaii Drivers License (not State ID), which is NOT made clear on the website.

There are many beautiful resorts on the west side of the Big Island, the scenery is going to be spectacular no. matter which one you chose, so what really defines the hotel is the service…..and I have to say that Mauna Lani disappointed me. On my recent stay of 3 nights I didn't feel like a valued guest - I wasn't informed ahead of time that there was going to be an wedding event outside my balcony (which was loud and went later than expected), wasn't greeted warmly at check-in, and I felt like most of the workers appeared bored and answered my questions curtly. On the other hand, the room was truly spectacular and the hotel had an understated elegance. For the amount of money that I spent on the room, however, I expected more.

The Mauna Lani is a gorgeous property. While there are several beautiful choices on the big island, I recommend this property for many reasons. The rooms are comfortable, well-appointed, and the beach is fantastic with plenty of room to spread out and relax. The Canoe House restaurant is a must for the best dining experience! If the property is busy, one would never realize it because there are so many places to go on the property. The staff is well-trained, and the aloha is warm and genuine. Auberge has created a luxurious hotel and one certainly to remember!

What an amazing place! This was our second visit to the Moana Lani and definitely not our last. The staff are super friendly and it showed that they felt like family working here. The facility is well kept and maintained. Honestly it is a slice of paradise. It was hard to return home. The Moana Lani is a great value for $$$. The CanoeHouse has delicious food, the pools and grounds are magical and the facility is clean and well managed. We will definitely be returning.
