Kona Coast Luxury Vacations

The positives are that the condo is spacious, the resort complex is beautiful, and the pool area is excellent. The location is also convenient for exploring the Kona area. However, the condo itself feels quite dated. The furniture, kitchen, bathrooms, and appliances are all older than expected, and the cookware was heavily scratched and should be replaced. Another disappointment was that air conditioning requires an additional fee, which we only realized after making the reservation. Since the top floor becomes very warm during the day, air conditioning feels more like a necessity than an optional upgrade. It's also worth noting that the condo requires climbing stairs just to reach the entrance, and because it's a two-level unit, carrying luggage during check-in and check-out can be inconvenient. Overall, this is a nice place in a well-maintained complex, but we expected a more updated condo for the price. We've stayed in other condos on the Big Island that were more modern and provided a better overall experience, so this one didn't feel like the best value. We enjoyed our stay, but we would likely choose a different property next time

This place was probably top notch 25 years ago. The grounds and scenery were very nice. Parking was good in the garage and staff was helpful. The unit we had was very dated, stained rugs, a couple of live roaches (sometimes happens in this climate), advertised with washing machine and dryer, but the washing machine leaked all over the floor and would not run (very disappointing when your counting on being able to wash clothes on a long trip) Overall it was just ok, not someplace I would visit again.

Always a pleasure to stay here

It is always a pleasure returning to Mauna Kea. With the recent renovations now complete, the hotel is more beautiful than ever and remains my daughter's favorite vacation destination. The breakfast buffet is outstanding, offering an excellent selection of food, and the staff is always warm, welcoming, and attentive. Waking up to the breathtaking view of the beach and the crystal clear ocean is an experience that is truly hard to find anywhere else. We had another wonderful stay and are already looking forward to returning next summer.

Slept, had breakfast and left didn’t use amenities.

Great hotel! Quiet area. Has everything you will need.
