Overview

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is a legendary venue that is famous for its oceanfront setting on Hawaii Island. This beachfront resort is set along the white sand beach at Kauna’oa Bay. Mauna Kea Beach Hotel was opened by Laurance S. Rockefeller in 1965 and has since become known for its luxurious setting and service.

There are a plethora of rooms to choose from like a beachfront room and deluxe gold view room to a premier oceanfront deluxe room and a suite. Guests can opt for 1 king bed or 2 double beds when booking. Rollaway beds and cribs can be requested. There are many different amenities available, such as a safe, desk, iron, hair dryer, coffee maker, and bottled water. Media offerings include high-speed internet, LCD television, an iPod dock, and premium movie channels.

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel has many activities to partake in like a round of gold on its gorgeous greens or a relaxing day at its spa and beauty salon. Those who want to keep very active will love swimming at the beach or pool. For offsite attractions, there is everything from exploring the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and going sport fishing to horseback riding and hiking.

The hotel itself has many dining options for the convenience of its guests. Breakfast at the Manta is highly recommended, as is its Sunday brunch there that some consider to be a tradition on the weekends. Copper Bar is where to head to for a specialty cocktail and modern cuisine. Those looking to immerse themselves in Hawaiian culture should be sure to try the Mauna Kea Lu’au with kalua pig and steel guitars for entertainment.
