Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection

Great overall expey

No words to describe how perfect this place is, absolutely everything about it was outstanding!

This is a beautiful and peaceful property, situated nicely within the Mauna Lani resort area. The staff are all very helpful and courteous. Our room had a very nice partial ocean view. Dinner at the HaLani restaurant on our first night was excellent. This was a great place to stay, but a couple of things should be noted. We stayed at the property for 5 nights and for two of the days the swim up bar at the adult pool was closed. While service was provided poolside waiters, it seemed odd that the bar would be closed. We also went for lunch at the Surf Shack restaurant one day and their kitchen facility was out of order and their food menu was not available. The very different menu from the HaLani restaurant was used in its place. The hotel operates a complimentary courtesy Mercedes Benz loaner program, but only had one car in operation the one day I enquired. Minor issues aside, this was a very nice place to stay and we would definitely return.

It was an amazing stay, the beach, the restaurants and the amenities they were all beyond expectations. The only downside is the high fee for the shaded beach beds which I was not expecting an additional charge especially after paying such a high room rate.
