Mauna Kea Beach Hotel Review
The grande dame of Kohala Coast, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel has long been regarded as one of the state's premier vacation resort hotels, and it borders one of the island's finest white-sand beaches, Kaunaoa. The bathrooms are large and luxurious and come with L'Occitane bath amenities you won't want to leave behind. You might never want to rise from your plush bed, but you should because the resort has much to offer, including an 18-hole championship golf course, a top-rated tennis club on the oceanfront, and a fitness center with daily classes. If all you want to do is relax, there's the Mandara spa, a outdoor swimming pool, and lots of comfy lounge chairs on the beach, which, incidentally, is a perfect crescent of sand and sea. The hotel has two wings: the Main and the Plumeria Beach. The latter is great for families because ground-floor units allow children to wake up and run right out to the beach.
