Our family of 5 just spent a fantastic, relaxing week at the Islands at Mauna Lani in Q3. It is a lovely, quiet unit that was just the right distance to the pool. I was pleasantly surprised how very clean everything was. My request for 2 beds in the second room was accommodated and my 3 teens all had plenty of space to themselves. There was also a day bed in the upper hallway AND a sofa bed in the living room. The best part was having 2 full baths and a 3rd bathroom with a toilet and sink. Actually, the best part was probably easy access to the Beach Club. It was a lovely place to snorkel and relax. We even walked there once. The trails around the Mauna Lani resort are a nice walk. My kids loved seeing all the fish and eels in the fishponds. We loved walking over to Foodland Farms and trying many of their lunch, dinner and dessert items. Some things to note: we used our rental car daily. While you could enjoy yourself staying strictly within the Mauna Lani resort and shops, we found restaurant and shopping options were better for our family in the Waikoloa area. My kids also wanted a change of pace from the quiet atmosphere of the Beach Club and we took boogie boards to Hapuna Beach. This is a place we would love to come back to!
