This might be the most beautiful beach on the Big Island. We loved the calm beach and snorkeling right off the beach. This is a classic hotel and you can see why families come back year and after year. We also really loved the statues and art they have here. Can't wait to do this again!

Loved the Mauna Kea! Only here for 2 nights but so happy we came here. We stayed in a beach wing room on the 3rd floor. Great view from the patio and wonderful beach access. Room was good size with a 2 sink very large bathroom. The beach is spectacular. We had one day with not much in the way of waves so great for snorkeling near the reef.

We had a great family vacation here in June. The beach was absolutely amazing. Best in Hawaii that I've been to. We spent hours and hours just floating in the calm and warm waters surrounded by that crescent beach. The property is well maintained and the architecture is really cool. The food at Mantis was outstanding. The staff was great! You could tell that people have been coming here for years and the staff treated the guests like family and vice versa.
