The Islands at Mauna Lani - A CoralTree Residence Collection

Went with my 3 other family members and some other family friends and this place other than being family friendly was beautiful for sure, it overlooked the golf course and even had a pool and tennis courts. I had no complaints and would love to stay here again if I could. Plenty of restaurants and beaches nearby and each condo is individually owned so there’s usually no neighbors to complain.

The islands at Mauna Lani are individually owned villages style units. Some owners will rent them out through property managers, Airbnb, etc.. It’s misleading to think that Coral Tree owns The islands. There are nothing more than a property manager of only a few homes. There are other property managers hired by owners in The islands. Units are extremely well built and each owner has decided how they choose to finish it on the inside so pay attention to photos. Best complex / property to stay of all the complexes in Mauna Lani. Mauna Lani is the best resort area on the island.

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!

Looking for the ultimate Island experience while you are in Hawaii? We stayed at the Islands at Mauna Lani and we just have to tell you about the unit we stayed at. All the units are different but we chose this one for its close location to the pool and incredible attention to the details of its furnishings! D4 is like living in an art gallery or museum of fine art! Every room has been meticulously staged to please the eye and provide every possible convenience for those lucky enough to stay here. There are several original pieces of artwork by world renowned artist Gary Paul Stutler. Not reproductions, the real deal! (Only available in D4 at this time)! The upper level master suites must be seen in person to be truly appreciated! The master bedroom is absolutely gorgeous featuring hand painted ceiling motifs that one can study for hours on end. Plenty of room for all our needs including all popular streaming services to choose from! The private balcony provides views of an incredibly maintained backyard featuring the sweet music of many of Hawaii’s native songbirds and other wildlife! The second master has an adjoining, full bathroom and its own balcony providing a private second suite of sorts. There is even more bedroom space available if needed in the form of a trundle bed tucked into a convenient location on the upper floor. The upper main bathroom is huge featuring a ample bath and shower with full length two sink vanity. It is just as much a work of art as it is utilitarian in nature. Absolutely exquisite! The main floor features a huge family room, a large indoor dining area, and modern kitchen with all the amenities! Feel like a BBQ? Both downstairs patios provide enough space for two families with table, seating areas, and a wonderful BBQ grill to entertain your guests or family! The downstairs also features a half bathroom and washer/dryer completing a well rounded feel to all our needs! Just steps away, is the pool at the Islands! A waterfall flowing into the pool provides the perfect Island obeisance to the most incredible pool experience in the area! A large sauna (hot-tub) is located right next to the pool with a jacuzzi option to melt away the stress of the day and bubble away the aches and pains after a fruitful day at the adjoining golf course! There is also a BBQ area here with plenty of seating, outdoor BBQ grills, an indoor kitchen complete with stove, oven, and refrigerator! Every comfort has been seen to so we and our entire family can’t help but enjoy our stay! As a guest, we also got a pass to the Mauna Lani Beach club just down the road! We checked pricing at several venues before our stay and found D4 to be the best deal on the island even without all the posh amenities and associated perks! Treat yourself, your family and friends to the best the Island of Hawaii has to offer for your stay here!

Unbelievably beautiful accomodations that make you feel like you've left the islands...as kamaaina that lives here on the big Island.... This felt like we flew away to an exclusive vacation community...uncrowded... Beautiful...peaceful...with everything you need to refresh and rejuvenate. It's not cheap but cheaper than paying airfare off Island and getting an exceptional vacation accomodations.

Spacious but the condo was dated, carpets were stained, the couches were very uncomfortable and the fridge broke twice. It was nice to have a washer and dryer though. The pool was really nice and access to the beach wasn't too bad, had to drive there. A little far from Kona but not too horrible.

Run if anyone suggests this property. We rented 2 two bedroom townhouses from September 28- October 1, 2022. We were not informed in advance that there is no onsite office. It is a gated community. We arrived at 6:30pm on a Wednesday with no way to get into the gate or the townhouses. When we called the phone number provided for the resort, we got a recording saying it was no longer in service. We went to a nearby hotel hoping they could help but they couldn't. After an hour of trying to get into the resort, someone in our group contacted bookings.com who had nothing to do with booking our trip but they were kind enough to locate an afterhours number for the resort. When we called, we were told that their offsite office closed at 6:00pm during the week. We were given the gate code and the codes to the lock boxes for the townhouses. The interiors of the townhouses have not been updated in decades. The Wifi did not work. The cable TVs worked sporadically. The bathrooms are outdated and full of mold. The beds had sheets and a thin blanket but no comforter. You were literally looking at the box springs. The showerheads are the very tiny heads from the 1980s. You had to be less than 5'8" tall to use the shower and the water trickled out. Both bedrooms are upstairs. There is only one thermostat upstairs. One bedroom was freezing and the other was hot no matter what the thermostat was set on. Do not be fooled by the pictures on the website. We were and so were our neighbors. The people who rented the townhouse next door to us came over and were furious. They were faced with the same issues I have outlined above. These townhouses look nice on the exterior but are old and disgusting on the inside. We stayed at two beautiful resorts on Maui and Kuai that were equally priced and in the middle of many attractions. This place is literally in the middle of nowhere. If you stay here, be prepared to travel significant distances to do anything.

This was our 2nd time staying at The Islands of Mauna Lani for our family vacations. We loved it so much the first time that we brought more family with us this time and rented an extra house. It was absolutely perfect!!! Everyone had their own space and we saved a ton of money renting these beautiful houses vs. having to book individual hotel rooms. Not to mention the money we saved by cooking 90% of our meals instead of eating out. Although the kitchen in our unit could use some updating, everything worked fine and we were able to make breakfast and lunch every day of our trip without any issues. So really, that's just a personal preference and not a flaw of the resort. We would, and will, definitely stay at this resort on our next visit to the island.
