We’ve stayed at this unit several times and plan to keep coming back! Very hard to leave this fabulous condo that is well appointed, perfectly located with spectacular sunset views.

Absolutely gorgeous property with breathtaking views of fish ponds and ocean. The pool and hot tub are great and kept very clean by the staff. Everything we needed for cooking was provided as well as plenty of beach towels and equipment for the beach. All of us (2 brothers and 2 sisters) loved every minute of our relaxing vacation, especially mornings on the lanai watching the fish in the ponds jump and the Nene gathering for another day.

Glorious views from this condo. We’ve stayed in A303 before. Ceiling lighting and overhead fans’ wall switches are impossible to figure out. Therefore, lighting and fan speed in the living/dining and kitchen cannot be dimmed or regulated. This was a problem last time and continues. Maintenance guy thinks they’re a problem, too. Need an electrician to change the wall switches.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The unit is beautiful, well-equipped with everything you could need, and perfectly located right on the water and next to the Mauna Lani; which we loved for its restaurants and convenience. The beds were very comfortable, and the rest of the unit stayed cool and comfortable throughout our stay.The only downside was that the master bedroom never cooled down, even with the shades closed all day and all of the unit’s fans running in the room. This kept the room in the mid-80s all day, and night. It unfortunately made it hard to enjoy the beautiful view and lanai from that space. That said, we still give this property 5 stars and would absolutely stay again. The location, amenities, and overall experience far outweighed the one negative.

So nice! Everything you need for the perfect vacation. We have stayed at Mauna Lani for years. We now have adult children so we needed more room than a hotel. It didn’t disappoint. First time in the terrace and we did t want to leave. It was everything we could’ve asked for. Felt like we were home with perfect beds, linens, well stocked kitchen. Perfect proximity to hotel. Honestly didn’t want to leave. 5 stars.

The best thing about the property was the view the walking around the fish ponds, the proximity to snorkeling the many fish in the water, It is south facing so AC is a must.
