The tower rooms have the best views on the ocean side and have been recently renovated. If you are here on a Wednesday, attend the manager’s reception with free open bar and snacks!

Ultimately, we found the best snorkeling/white-sand beach combo hidden within the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Visitor parking is limited so arrive early if you plan to go. Read more

Stunning mid-century hotel on a fantastic beach. Every visit here reminds you you're truly in paradise. Highly recommended.

The beach is perfect for swimming -- sandy and calm. As a hotel guest you should def take advantage of borrowing snorkel gear or paddle boards.

If you want to get off the resort for a cheaper meal where locals eat, go to Seafood Bar and Grill. 8 minute drive North at Kawaihae.

Breakfast or dinner at Manta is a must. Incredible views of Kauna'oa Bay, great menu, and outstanding service.

Take a moment to walk Kauna'oa Bay in the morning as the sunrises. One of the most beautiful stretches of sand in the state.

Ovaltine Shake has been served at the Hua Tree restaurant since at least 1980. Give it a try.

Hmmmm brownie sundae had stale brownie. If they cannot make a good sundae makes me wonder what the rest of the food is like here.
