"This is the best hotel that we have stayed at. The amenities, staff, rooms, the spa, the adult pool, the food, the beach…all 5 stars! Swam with manta rays and did the longest running luau that was well done. Have been coming here since the 80’s and it only keeps getting better. We love the Mauna Kea and the Big Island of Hawaii."

"The beach is the best. Just about all negative aspects of the property are measured against the gorgeous water and wonderful beach. The room was a bit dated. Carpet looked tired, small roaches in bathroom sink area. The fat foam pillows are uncomfortable. They also put us in a room for disabled individuals but we were too tired to argue after three flights and a long rental drive at that point. The buffet is very good and staff are excellent. We don’t spend a lot of time in the room so no big deal in the room critique. BUT at 1k per day for a suite, it’s worth mentioning the rooms look tired."

"We had a fantastic time here. We were a little concerned coming here in mid July without any AC but it turned out to be fine with the windows open and using the provided fans. Honestly, it made us feel more connected with the environment not being bottled up with canned air so it really suited the experience. The kitchen was perfect and the living space also very comfortable with private bedrooms to retire to. Absolutely stunning view and location. We would definitely return."

"This is THE place to stay if you want ultimate luxury in the seclusion of natural beauty. The views of Waipo Vally are unmatched. Proximate to Honokaa and Wainea, lots of food options exist, and its not far from Kona or Hilo... best of everything! Kids will love the pool as will kids at heart! And there are mysteries to be discovered in the vast collection of books... and the discovery will lead to higher perspectives... loved it! Will be back with the kids one day, but this was the PERFECT place to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Thank you to Noelani and team for such a great property!"
