This is the one. Look no further, their salt water pool is like swimming in cream..and the beach is prestine, good snokeling opportunity easy to see manta rays when sun sets via a short snokel swim or view point for those who do not want to go in. There are guided tours, but people also swam out without a tour. Rooms are beautifully put together with local treats, and two thermos and water station on your floor, sunscreen available at most stations, cucumber water, poolside service, beautiful restaurant..Manta delicious..i came here after roughing it in Hilo...this was the perfect ending to my trip. I went with 2 kids....absolutely kid friendly ..play room, small museum. What a dream.

Stayed while property was under renovation on half of it. Had to listen to some jack hammers while eating and sun bathing. Was not happy about limited access to snacks & food. Over all would be a great experience when fully open. When I booked it wasn’t disclosed it wasn’t fully open.

The ambiance and overall property is truly amazing and beautiful. It has the best vibe of an older era of resorts, which we loved for our honeymoon. Views and sunsets are epic. Food and service is great. Plantings inside the hotel need an upgrade and a few things in our room needed fixing otherwise a perfect week. Best of all, it has the best beach on the big island in my view.

Everything was amazing…from check-in, beach staff, Hau Tree & Manta staff, valets. Only negative was the hours for the Copper Bar. No food until late in the day so we never got to eat there. Sad to leave, will definitely return, and highly recommend!

The best keeps getting better
This is one of my favorite places to stay. MK is a vintage hotel from the 50s that is meticulously maintained. The beach is unparalleled if you’re looking for a serene setting. Thanks to its vintage status, the beach is just steps away. Service is always terrific and friendly. I’ve also noticed that the quality of food seems to be improving which was one area I wasn’t as crazy about in past stays.
Mauna Kea beach is pristine and typically calm.
