Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection

Always fantastic service. They always make you feel welcome and relaxed!

Been here several times. Main building currently under renovation so we stayed in the southern wing. Rooms are dank and need TLC. Can only assume they're doing the main building first, and when that's done, I assume they'll renovate the southern building. Beach is lovely. We ate almost all meals off-campus as food options are limited during renovation. I have fond memories of this property. It currently looks tired and needs a lot of deferred maintenance handled. The internet is slow and also needs attention.....30 up and down. The renovation work wasn't too intrusive, and it will be interesting to see how far $250m goes toward rejuvenating this place.

First time to stay here and not sure how the construction would impact our stay. Let me just say that it was great! From the check in process, to the rooms, to the staff at the beach, to the night time room attendants, it was a great stay! 2/3 of the resort is under major construction. We never heard any construction noise. I was told that construction will continue well into 2025. Best part of our stay was the lack of people. Beach was almost empty. I would highly recommend this resort while it’s under construction.

We stayed here during the renovation. We were skeptical before our vacation, but it was unfounded and actually really nice that there were so few people staying at the hotel. We have usually stayed in the Deluxe Oceanfront Rooms, but the Main Tower was being renovated during our stay. We ended up staying in a Beachfront Room which, while these rooms are going to be remodeled soon, was still nice. We were in a top floor room, and we loved the view and the privacy. Being able to sit on the balcony, watch the sunset and listen to the ocean was heavenly. Having all of the beach equipment available for rental, without having to pay additional fees, was another wonderful perk. We also loved the breakfast buffet. We didn't miss it a single day. If you get the breakfast buffet, the made to order omelets, home-made banana bread and POG juice are amazing. We are Titanium Elite for life so the breakfast buffet was free of charge for us. In addition, there are laundry facilities on the ground floor of the beachfront building which is also free and available for use. They even provide the Tide detergent and the Bounce dryer sheets. The only CONS that we can offer are the following. 1. The coffee in the restaurant is awful. They are apparently stuck with it until the renovation is done. We instead opted for espresso drinks which was way better. And 2. There is no adult pool area so if you go to the pool, expect kids having fun and making noise. While we love children, when we go away on vacation, just the two of us, we like a more "zen" experience and less children. However, I believe that once the renovation is done, there may be an adult only pool area which would be amazing, but I am not 100% certain of this.

My wife and I came here for our honeymoon. It was incredible. I was a little concerned about the construction but we never noticed it! The resort is low occupancy, so it never felt crowded. We especially enjoyed the breakfast staff Floyde, Melinda, and Jenny. And at dinner Blake served us twice and did a really great job. The rooms were awesome and we were thrilled with the housekeeping. We look forward to coming back!
