Beautiful Resort

Wenonah, New Jersey

One of the nicest resorts in Hawaii, intimate, quiet, great beach, fantastic breakfast buffet. Rooms are done in Koa wood, very beautiful, very large marble bathrooms, balcony with views of the ocean. Staff was wonderful! Check in was nice, cool towels and juice upon arrival. Nice beach bar as well. Would recommend for couples, did not see many families.

This is a beach which will be in your dreams long after you have been there...

THis is my idea of heaven... white crescent beach, warm aquamarine water with surf, award-winning designed hotel with stellar open lobby and cordial, welcoming staff... you will return time and time again to this paradise.

Not at all what was expected

Cayman Islands BWI

I really wish I could say that we enjoyed our visit to the Mauna Kea but the harsh reality is that this dinosaur from 1965 is just old and tired and musty and awkward in every way possible. We spent what I consider to be a very high $1400+ per night to be in a "suite class" beach front room and it was like being trapped in a time capsule from my parents honeymoon days. Yuck... Let's face it, the 60's weren't exactly our proudest moment in our architectural history as it is and the design of this place is underwhelming and quite cold not to mention an absolute logistical nightmare. Our room was a mindboggling distance from the lobby. When I say it was far, I mean it was literally the last room on the very end of the property and it took a good fast paced walk of 12 minutes to get there going one way! It was bizarre to say the least and was a crazy up down and over traffic pattern that took you down old tired run down hallways that look like they havent been updated since the place was built with original EVERYTHING and lots of obvious wear and tear. The tennis courts havent been resurfaced in no less than 3p years and you are smacked in the face with a God awful wet, musty, mildewy odor as soon as you walk in your room (or at least we sure were in our overpriced "suite")... The Brady Bunch would have felt right at home in this funky space with multiple external doors, a REALLY sad looking little room with a tired looking sleeper sofa for our son and a strange "living/kitchenette" space adjacent to our bedroom. The only positives were the linens and towel quality which were top notch and the bed which was amazingly comfortable but it regrettably didnt overcome the smell of "old" that permeates every nook and cranny of the space. Especially having just left The Montage on Maui which was not only $200 less expensive per night but also ten times more luxurious... it was a real letdown to come here on the heels of such a stellar property and experience at The Montage. We had planned to book at the sister Westin property which looked newer and more modern but were discouraged by everyone raging on TripAdvisor over the ongoing construction noise over there but in retrospect I would have happily traded the noise for the dingy, old, sad, spread out, smelly non-luxurious, expensive visit to Mauna Kea...
