The best beach in the world - soft sand, warm water, just enough waves for gentle boogie boarding, and a beautiful coastline. Access to top quality restaurants and the best breakfast buffet.

Gorgeous beach, strong cocktails, we had the best time soaking it all in. Only hiccup was the construction—balcony air wasn’t as breezy/fresh. Still, can’t wait to return. Big thanks to all the friendly staff

10/10 Exceptional

The Mauna Kea has a lovely retro vibe ideally located on a small bay. The ease of lounging on beach, sitting at the pool, or hearing the waves from your lanai makes this hotel ideal for relaxation.
Renee, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The resort was not full because of the construction. It will be beautiful when completed. We enjoyed the ability to get a chair at the beach and pool. The construction didn’t bother us. We enjoyed our stay there very much.
Michael J, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The building is amazing. The property is so much better than it looks in pictures, it is really stunning. The food was delicious and the staff was so kind and helpful, they never made us feel like the bumbling tourists that we were! I especially appreciated their very high quality water toys, my kids boarded on the waves for hours.
Jessica, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The ambiance and overall property is truly amazing and beautiful. It has the best vibe of an older era of resorts, which we loved for our honeymoon. Views and sunsets are epic. Food and service is great. Plantings inside the hotel need an upgrade and a few things in our room needed fixing otherwise a perfect week. Best of all, it has the best beach on the big island in my view.
Marc, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Understated and tasteful elegance. Fantastic rooms with amazing balconies, world class beach, impeccable service, excellent grounds, fine dining at Manta, but also a beachfront casual bar/restaurant, and Copper Bar in between and our favorite. They have an Asian Art Collection worthy of a museum. This was out of our usual price range, a big splurge, and worth every penny. We are already trying to figure out how to swing it to go back next winter.
James, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Incredibly gorgeous! They are going through a large scale renovation effort so some areas are blocked off. But it is still a stunning property—outstanding views, amenities, hospitality. Would highly recommend!
Ledia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room is beach front with patio. We had the most amazing view. The beach is great and plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The food is amazing. There are constructions going however didn't it feel like it. It didn't feel like everyone is on top of each other. I will definitely stay here again.
Melissa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Probably the best beach on the big island and perfect relaxing oasis for big island excursions. This resort when fully operational is probably the epitome of discrete luxury with an eco sensibility. Manta was delicious. The staff were kind and went above and beyond to meet guest demands. The Manta moonlight excursion was magical. Sad that the pool was closed but as an ocean oriented family with a beautiful bay at our doorstep we didn't miss it. Banana bread is exceptional.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best keeps getting better

This is one of my favorite places to stay. MK is a vintage hotel from the 50s that is meticulously maintained. The beach is unparalleled if you’re looking for a serene setting. Thanks to its vintage status, the beach is just steps away. Service is always terrific and friendly. I’ve also noticed that the quality of food seems to be improving which was one area I wasn’t as crazy about in past stays.
Mauna Kea beach is pristine and typically calm.

Top notch service at this island resort

Everything was amazing…from check-in, beach staff, Hau Tree & Manta staff, valets. Only negative was the hours for the Copper Bar. No food until late in the day so we never got to eat there. Sad to leave, will definitely return, and highly recommend!
Natasha, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the one. Look no further, their salt water pool is like swimming in cream..and the beach is prestine, good snokeling opportunity easy to see manta rays when sun sets via a short snokel swim or view point for those who do not want to go in. There are guided tours, but people also swam out without a tour. Rooms are beautifully put together with local treats, and two thermos and water station on your floor, sunscreen available at most stations, cucumber water, poolside service, beautiful restaurant..Manta delicious..i came here after roughing it in Hilo...this was the perfect ending to my trip. I went with 2 kids....absolutely kid friendly ..play room, small museum. What a dream.
Marcia, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

It was ok. Very out dated. Service could be better. Several times I asked for things but i got the impression i was a burden and blew me off twice. The beach was amazing.
Steve, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing stay at the Mauna Kea as always, the entire staff was kind and helpful and provided everything needed for a fantastic vacation. Small service details like two luggage holders, ample towels, water bottles, morning coffee stations etc. made us feel at home. The beach crew was exceptional, Victor went above and beyond to help us get started with the SUPs and enjoy all the beach amenities. The beach equipment being free now is a huge plus for us, it really made it carefree to enjoy whatever activities we wanted, whenever we felt like it. We knew about the construction in advance and it didn't affect our stay too much. Yes the un-renovated room was showing its age but still clean and comfortable. Food was ok but the menus need updating with more fresh/healthy and grab/go options like the Westin. All in all the Mauna Kea remains our favorite hotel on our favorite beach in Hawaii and we can't wait to return!
Jason, 6-night trip

The Mauna Kea has been the ultimate relaxing getaway for me for over 30 years now. Never disappoints…
