One of the classic gems on the Big Island of Hawai’i. I have a detailed review with photos and tips you can read in addition to the video above.

I recommend booking this hotel with a Virtuoso travel agency even if you have enough Bonvoy points or will pay direct for additional VIP perks and benefits. I use Classic Travel which allows me to book online or by phone.

Aloha, and welcome. Your journey around the web has brought you here, and I’m grateful for the chance to share a bit about Hawaiʻi with you. I do my best to provide thoughtful insights on hotels, airlines, dining, and the ever-evolving travel scene in Hawaiʻi. My role? I’m the one steering the ship—quietly behind the scenes—making sure every piece of information you find here is worth your time. I grew up in Kaʻalaea on Oʻahu, surrounded by the beauty and complexity of Hawaiʻi, which shaped how I see the world and connect with it. As a native Hawaiian and someone who works in below-wing operations for Hawaiian Airlines, I’ve always been drawn to understanding the details—whether it’s about travel, culture, or the people who make it all happen. I travel extensively across the islands, seeking out what’s new, what’s changing, and what’s truly worth sharing. From the latest hotel openings to restaurant reviews and updates on travel trends, I aim to bring you accurate, first-hand insights you can trust. For a closer look, you can also find me on YouTube, where I dive deeper with visual reviews and updates. My hope is that this space helps you connect with Hawaiʻi in a meaningful way, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

  1. In my opinion, it’s tough to do a place like the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel justice. It has to be seen and felt to be fully appreciated. But you came as close as anyone with this video! Well done.

    • I totally agree about experiencing this place to fully appreciate it. The design that allows the breeze to pass through and views from just about anywhere on property was really well thought out. Kudos to Edward Charles Bassett the architect and Mr. Rockefeller for having the vision.

  2. No exaggeration; this is my favorite hotel in the world. It’s beautiful, it’s historic, it’s relaxing, and all without being snooty.

    • Hi Pat, I have hear this exact statement from several other people. During my stay almost everyone I talked to was a multi-time return guest. The vibe is indeed casual cool
