Mauna Lani Resort , Puako

What a great experience, the entire facility looks upgraded even though they might be working on some aspects. The view from the oceanfront rooms was perfect, they were really able to take 70’s architecture and make it modern. The open, shaded space of the hotel is just extraordinary, all the private spaces to sit at, all the couches, hammocks spread around the space with perfect mix of palms and other plants just creates a paradise feel. The outdoor gym was a plus. Almost entirety of the hotel is outdoors, an open space under a huge lanai, which doesn’t require having a mask. Restaurant breakfast was outdoors and it was delicious. The oceanfront cabanas were underutilized but are amazing, for $375 you can get the cabanas afternoon which come with beer, lotions, two drinks from alcohol menu and two appetizers. It’s $450 the entire day.

This place will absolutely blow you away. It is truly a slice of paradise with amazing ocean views, excellent food, and the BEST coffee! Have never had a more relaxing time than our stay at this world class resort! Unreal!
