Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection

Kohala Village Inn
Attractive exterior with plenty of parking. AC easy to use. Noise outside from constant drumming or bass beats a bit annoying.

Castle Hali'i Kai at Waikoloa
The kitchen in our unit came equipped with everything we needed for cooking; it also had its own barbecue grill which was great for dinners in. The property is well laid out, parking is convenient to the unit and the whole resort feels very high end for an affordable family stay.

Mauna Lani Point
The room location and floor plan was amazing! All facilities are luxury and clean! The view was outstanding and the breeze from the ocean allowed to avoid AC! The landscaping gave beautiful fragrance and feast for the eyes! Access on foot to the exclusive Mauna Beach was a huge bonus!
