"My husband and I had a great time staying at this property. The house is nicely set up for indoor-outdoor living and has a grill we used about half the nights. The kitchen was just the right size for us and had everything we needed. Lol, there are 4 different devices to make coffee. Waimea has grocery stores and restaurants just a few minutes away. The beaches with the best sunny weather are right down the road. The host kept in touch with us and gave us great tips for activities. Really just great overall."

"We had only scheduled one night, but upon arrival we wish we could have stayed longer. This is a cozy studio with a calm, beautiful atmosphere. The yard is filled with trees, flowers, and birds, and the neighborhood is isolated and quiet. Our host was lovely, and provided fresh fruit picked right off the tree in the yard. Such a treat! We would definitely love to stay here again."

"Excellent location and nice lodge. Wish had AC. "

"We absolutely love their beautiful lodge. It is a magical place in a beautiful setting with incredible views. We will be back again and highly recommend staying here. The family was very f friendly and accommodating. We loved sitting on the deck taking in the spectacular views. The lodge was masterly built by the owners. It provides a very unique stay up rly in the Kohola mountains. Thank you, Aron and Sandra."

"Wonderful in every aspect. It’s not a matter of if we’ll be back, but how quickly. "

"The grounds are always kept in prime condition. The access to a good snorkel beach and a near by pool is one main reason for coming here. The staff were all great and helpful. The food service and quality were great at each location. Breakfast was excellent. Of course $40 a night for self-parking and another $40 for Resort fees is a killer as it is just pure profit add on to the room rate."

"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this Puako Beach residence. The house had all the amenities that we needed and was in a good location for the activities that we had planned. We recommend the Manta Ray experience! Kevin, our host, was communicative and answered quickly the questions that arose. We would stay at this house again. The porch is especially great with comfortable seating and a view of the ocean. "

"Everything was fantastic! The only odd thing is that there wasn’t a headboard on the bed. The staff was very kind! If you look at the window latch on the courtyard side of the room, it might say “made in occupied Japan” on the knob, which if you know your history, it should give you a solid idea on the age of the hotel. But the place is in great shape, seems freshly remodeled, and really is quite a treasure. The song of the night birds is mesmerizing! One word of caution for late arrivals though: everything in the village closes at 8PM or earlier. If you landed at Kona in the evening, and you want anything for the night, you better get it in Kona. I will absolutely return to this amazing place!"

"As advertised, the staff is exemplary! All you need to do is ask and a member of the staff will fulfill your request quickly. We had a problem with our TV and they replaced the entire TV in about 15 minutes. The staff has a sense of pride when it comes to making sure everything works at Mauna Kea and that all of your needs are met! Our room was meticulously cleaned daily and again, you can ask housekeeping for anything and they will respond to the request promptly. You won't find a better beach than the one at Mauna Kea Beach. It's an all sand beach as far as you can walk out into the ocean. I highly recommend the Mauna Kea Beach hotel and will return there in the future. "
