Enjoyed your tour. The Mauna Kea is one of my favorites as well and I will be there with my family next week…can’t wait. Agree it’s one of the nicest beaches I’ve ever seen and I love the beach chairs and SUPs. About the pool, we are beach people but sometimes enjoy the pool later in the afternoon for a cool refreshing swim before we head back to the beachfront wing after a full day at the beach. Thanks, Nick! And I look forward to checking out your book.
Thank you! Definitely one of the best beaches I've been to. Enjoy your trip!
Thank you for such an extensive video on this hotel. It is a remarkable place and there really isn’t anything else like it. My family has been coming there since the 1980s. A lot has changed over the years, but so much has stayed the same and that is what I love. And it really does have a way of calling you back. I haven’t been there for a few years but this video has scratched the itch a little, so to speak. Thank you again.
Your comment really made my day! I think I read it on Sunday and it made me so happy. That is amazing that your family has been going there since the 1980s. Thank you for checking out my video and leaving a nice comment.
I've been researching Mauna Kea as I'll be staying there next month and I gotta say, after ingesting a ton of similar videos, yours has the most information, cool hidden spots and generally just a great in-depth look at things other reviews simply don't touch upon. Thanks!
thank you so much 😭 I can't tell you how nice it was to read your comment today: it makes all the hours that I put into this video worth it! I hope you have a great trip, I bet it will be beautiful
I’ve eaten dinner there about 6 years ago and I thought how beautiful the hotel was, just gorgeous. Of course we stayed at the Hilton at Waikoloa.
Couldn't agree more!
Have been there 5 x also.
I’ve traveled for the last 35 years.
My favorite beach anywhere.
You are downplaying the snorkeling.
The reef continues around the points, and the snorkeling is excellent, easily reached by a short swim from the shore.
Thanks for the video, I just returned about a month ago from there, made me feel like I was still there, thanks.
Well done! I love that place. Stayed there many years ago with my former wife that has since passed-away so it broght back many happy priceless memories...thank you!
thank you so much for the comment! makes me happy that the video reached you - it truly is a special place and hotel
Thanks so much for the very comprehensive tour. We enjoyed it. Side note: You asked why someone would choose the pooI over the beach. My husband has a mobility disability. Going to the beach isn’t an option for him. A great pool is a central part of our decision about where to stay. Mahalo!
Loved your video but I was really waiting to see you. Go down to the water so I could see how clear it was and if it was rocky
oh snap, you're right: I didn't go down to the water. I can tell you from my times there that it was always VERY clear and not rocky at all. Hope that helps and have a great trip. Thanks for the comment and support
OMG I can’t wait coming Mauna Kea. I really love it ❤❤🎉
You will love it! It is one of my top favorite hotels in the whole world.
Hi, I am glad that I found your video before my visit to the hotel this September. Since there wasn't much video posted recently, your video has been big help!
I heard there are shops for swim suits/golfwares and some photograph place. It could also be nice to know what they have and what the prices would be.
please keep posting!
You're going to have a great trip in September! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on my video. My hotel video tours are so niche, for a "private audience" (I think under 75 views right now!). It makes me happy to know that you got some value from watching it. Have a great trip. Next time I will show the swimsuit selection- it is downstairs near the Peloton bikes- and the golf shopping area (it is near the entrance, outside in another building).
Was there in 2019. This was my favorite beach on the Kona side. Thanks for this awesome video.
it really is such a nice beach! I heard that Rockefeller flew over the Kona side in a helicopter and reviewed all the bays, and that is how he picked this property many years ago.
Very informative video. I like the details and fun them very helpful. Thanks Nick
Nick, nice to have a tour in maunea kea hotel now I got idea how nice is that hotel near big island .and specially I have a best friend of mine that he works there but he never mention me how nice is that hotel.
I am 14 and have been going to this hotel pretty much every year since I was born. Staying here is my most highly anticipated part of the year. Thank you so much for such a thorough tour! This got me even more excited!!!!
THIS COMMENT MADE MY DAY!! Thanks for checking out my video and have a great trip. Last time you went did they have the two floating pads out in the Bay? That was new when I went this last time. I think they must have added the second one within the last year or two.
This is a very informative video 😊
Glad it was helpful! I love the Mauna Kea Resort in Hawaii
hi!... thank you for the tour!
Great video Nick. Love the detail in your des riptiom of things. And no, the video is not too long. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem wirh me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much h, Steve S.
Hi Nick! Loved your review. Room review not too long. We will go in November. As a Platinum member, which ocean/pool room shall I ask for, most desirable per your "secrets"? And BTW, how was the restaurant?
Love seeing reviews of the MKBH. Fortunate to have been there quite a few times. Still a great hotel, but had a more special feeling back in the late 90s/2000s. I do like how they have all the beach activities/ free rentals now though. Love the tennis center and the snorkeling is great. Manta is great for breakfast, but dinner there is abysmal (small portions, dishes not properly executed).
It is so nice to get a comment from someone who has been here many times! Similarly, I have heard negative reviews about the dinner service there. It would be nice if the Hotel worked to upgrade their dinner options… but I’ll be honest, it is still one of my favorite spots on the Big Island. Thank you for the comment and for checking out my video!
Have been coming there since 1988. It really is a special place. There is nothing like it!
2 weeks!
So exited!
ahh you're going, I'm so jealous! have a great trip
Great video! Thank you 🙏
My pleasure! It is one of my favorite hotels in the world. Thanks for the comment
You do a disservice to the Mauna Kea by not featuring the extraordinary golf course. 😮
prefer the nearby sister property at Hapuna Beach
Is there any hotel on the big island that has a basketball court?
