Best Location at the Mauna Lani - Walk to the Beach Club and Hotels!

We absolutely loved our stay in this unit at the Mauna Lani Terrace. The property grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained and the location cannot be beat. We loved being able to walk out to the beach or the pool and also loved the option of walking over to the hotel for coffee or dinner. The unit was spacious and well appointed. The kitchen was stocked with appropriate dishes, pots, pans, appliances, etc and the welcome bag with snacks was an added bonus. We also loved that they provided ample bath and beach towels and had an in-unit washer/dryer. It was the perfect location to spend a low-key beach week with our family!

Enjoyed the location and quick access to the beach and beach views. King Bed very comfortable to sleep in. Everything else was serviceable. The place was basically clean except for the floors and glass. We don't wear shoes inside and our feet would get dirty so we washed the floors. Also a strong mildew odor persisted for several days. It seemed to come from the ac system. It lessened after a time. There is not a lot of comfortable seating they only have the one recliner the other chairs aren't for long term lounging. Still we would stay here again because the view was nice.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location was perfect - a view of the fish ponds and ocean and a short stroll to Mauna Lani beach club. Note that the furniture is a little dated but the kitchen and baths were high end and the beds were very comfortable. Great artwork. We found everything we needed in the kitchen (a burner was broken in the stove but this has been reported to management) and cooked up some great home meals here. We loved how we could just open up all the sliding doors on the ocean side. The lanais are small but it is so private that you feel like the back yard is yours. The ocean was so close we didn’t have a chance to try out the pool. Note that there is construction going on next door but we were out and about so didn’t bother us. Unlike other condos we have stayed at with this management company the beach toys here were very meager but there was a boogie board and a mish mash of snorkeling and sand toys. We just bought our own.

This is our second stay in this particular condo. Although the view is great, the condo is very dated. With the rate that is charged, I would think you could afford to upgrade the carpet, furnishings, décor, etc. The condo has an ant problem and our last night there, there was a HUGE cockroach crawling across the floor. Needs to be fumigated!!! The extra bedroom patio door was unlocked during most of our stay as we assumed all doors were locked when we arrived (which they were not). The shrubs around the patio off the living room and kitchen need to be cut back so the view can be seen better. The stove has a broken knob (which was also broken on our last visit in 2016). It would be nice if reusable bags were provided for groceries since the store charges you if you don't bring your own. A new cooler would be nice as well as once again, its the same one from 2 years ago and it was broken then too. I feel the condo is not maintained as well as it could be. We love Hawaii and will return, however, we will not be staying here as we were very disappointed in the condo this time. Mahalo.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Mauna Lani Terrace A102. Great ocean views from the lanai and breathtaking sunsets every night. The property is very well kept and the management is very responsive to your needs. The sensors on the doors can be tricky and we had 2 nights without air conditioning, however, management did fix the problem - even on a weekend!! There are plenty of beach toys in the condo for use at the beach. The washer/dryer are not full size so washing clothes can be challenging. Somewhat disappointed in all of the rules we found with the use of the pool. We have a 7 year old daughter and felt very uncomfortable using the pool with signs everywhere telling us to be quiet. Hard for any family with children to enjoy a pool knowing the children have to be quiet??? FYI - there is only 1 grill that can be used at any time. The other grills need to be reserved so keep that in mind if you plan on eating in. The Beach Club on the other hand is an awesome place for children and adults a like. Gary at the surf shack is awesome! He taught our daughter how to paddleboard. I recommend the following restaurants: Tommy Bahama, Bamboo House and Patz Pies (south of Kona). We would definitely stay at A102 again in the future.
