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!Upvoted 1 week ago
Jetset ExtraApril 2, 2015Ultimately, 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
Jeff MelnykDecember 31, 2014Stunning mid-century hotel on a fantastic beach. Every visit here reminds you you're truly in paradise. Highly recommended.
Serious EatsNovember 1, 2013Pastry Chef Ross Alaimo is known for creating noteworthy sweets that place a quiet but ever present emphasis on the numerous local fruits and ingredients unique to Hawaii.
Stephanie WilsonMay 9, 2014The 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.
Sophia YenApril 14, 2013The best luau. Don't stress about food. Lots and u can keep going back. Free orchid lei. Gorgeous ripped male dancers- Great beach to run on. Get here at sunrise for beautiful views and cool weather.
- 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.- Take your waffle to the Ice Cream bar for a wider variety of toppings.
David ElliottMay 26, 2012Check out the manta ray cruising by the light in the water at night. Amazing!!!!
HawaiiLifeDecember 28, 2011Colorful, tropical birds belonging to the hotel hang out on the trees outside of Manta Restaurant.
