Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Mauna Lani Terrace earns rave reviews for its serene, resort-caliber setting along historic fishponds with palm-framed ocean views. Guests love the easy walk to the private Beach Club (calm cove, excellent snorkeling), the newly updated and usually uncrowded pool/hot tub and BBQ area, and miles of shoreline and fishpond trails for sunrise strolls and sunset watching. Proximity to the Mauna Lani Auberge resort, restaurants (including Canoe House and Napua), and a nearby grocery makes car-free days simple, and the Kohala Coast location delivers reliably sunny weather.

Most condos are spacious, quiet, and thoughtfully outfitted for easy living—well-stocked kitchens (many with high-end appliances), plentiful beach gear and towels, washer/dryers, and large lanais that become the trip’s favorite “room.” Hosts are repeatedly praised as communicative and proactive, with smooth check-ins and lots of local tips. Layouts often suit couples or two-couple/family stays, and many guests highlight first-class bedding, comfortable furnishings, and tranquil lagoon or partial-ocean views.

Common tradeoffs are mostly unit-specific but worth noting: a few guests reported dated bathrooms or appliances, occasional cleanliness lapses or island pests, and minor maintenance hiccups typically addressed quickly. Several “ground-floor” units still require a flight of stairs from parking, and many views are lagoon/peekaboo ocean rather than full oceanfront. The complex skews peaceful and mature with quiet HOA rules (not a party scene; some families mention it’s less ideal for rambunctious play), and hotel event noise can occasionally carry to nearby buildings. Fitness center access isn’t onsite and may require a separate fee unless your host includes it. Tip: confirm stairs, view type, Beach Club and fitness access, and any mobility needs before booking.

Fully equipped kitchen. Wonderful pool area a few steps away. Easy walk to the Mauna lani club beach. Great snorkeling!
Susan K.

The unit is newly renovated and very solidly built; no noise from any adjacent units. The standout amenity is the hot waterfall hot pool at the pool area. It’s amazing and worth the stay in itself. After snorkeling all afternoon, it’s a treat! The outdoor lanai grill area is perfect. The beds are incredibly comfortable. I’d stay here again, no question. Terrific value! The included beach club passes are terrific. And, it’s 1 min to the local market where they have prepared marinated foods for the grill. Terrific stay.

The unit was very well-furnished and extremely comfortable. The upper level view was fantastic, and we enjoyed the lanai every day. All the amenities like cookware, utensils, towels and more were high quality. One of our best stays on this property after many visits here.

A perfect stay, very comfortable condo, lovely views and peaceful. The location between the hotel and beach club was great. The lagoon area is really special. The owner accommodated a request very graciously and their communication was excellent, including lots of helpful local information. We come to Hawaii frequently, and this is at the top of our list.

What a fantastic location and a beautiful unit! We truly enjoyed our stay.We love the Terraces—the Beach Club is right there and the Hotel Resort next door for sunset cocktails. The Beach Club has lounge chairs (get there early—around 7:30am—with a cup of coffee to claim a spot), great snorkeling, and the neighboring Resort also offers two excellent restaurants.The Terraces pool was also very enjoyable, and honestly, we hardly left the area because there’s so much to do right outside the door. We especially loved our morning walks around the fish pond.This unit is now our favorite! We capped off the trip with dinner at Lava Lava Beach Club—such a perfect ending.We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely condo at the Terraces! We appreciated how well stocked it was, as well as the ease of communicating with Dave but, of course, the best aspect of the place was its location. It is just a short walk to the Beach Club or the Auberge hotel. There was ample room for the two of us. We would definitely return.

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.

The staff was super easy to communicate with, and they were very responsive when I asked for an electric kettle ahead of time to help me prepare formula for our infant. Check in directions were very clear. Overall the rooms are in good condition, and it’s great to have all the necessary beach gear, but would suggest bringing additional beach towels yourself! The mattress in the main bedroom off the living room was super lopsided and the carpet has seen better days. Upon arrival we also saw that the thermostat for the AC in the unit cannot be lowered below 74 degrees for environmental reasons. This was really challenging with an infant, who needs cooler temperatures for safe sleep. There was no indication of this when booking the unit and would have likely deterred us from booking if we had known this earlier. The grounds were beautiful and it was lovely to sip coffee in the mornings on the patio and to look over the fishponds. The facility pool was not heated and very cold, so sadly we did not go in the water once. The beach access was lovely though, but would suggest getting out early as chairs do fill up!

Lee was a great host.

February 2026

Complete disappointment. The unit was last accurately reviewed in January 2024 from what we can tell and no response to that review in terms of cleaning up the place. The price they charge is outrageous for a condo with what looks like black mold in the shower, soap scum on tiles, rust in the bathtub, dusty wood doors and sliders, and badly stained carpet. Very dated…think 1985. All that being said, the management company did refund 1/2 of the nightly rate, after some brief haggling.

Wonderful location and property. Great access to beach and tide pools. Restaurants and shopping walking distance. Very roomy accommodations.

This place had absolutely everything we needed. All kitchen utensils and amenities, super comfortable bed, beach gear and perfect location! We had to ride out a pretty big storm for a couple of days and were so grateful for the comfort we could storm watch in! And on nice days it was a short walk to the beach and some excellent snorkeling.

The location at Mauna Lani is outstanding. Dining and a grocery store are close by.It is a gated complex, so it is a bit tricky (but doable) to use Uber versus car rental.Unit up one flight of stairs from parking, no elevators.Living room and lanai are spacious, with postcard view of the ocean and fish ponds.The furniture and cabinetry are of high quality. There were plenty of books and DVDs. The wifi worked well while we were there. The kitchen is complete, well thought out, good appliances, and very well stocked.The bedrooms and baths are large, with separate lanais for morning coffee.The host is quite friendly, informative and attentive, without being intrusive.We would definitely look forward to coming back here.

The location is great, the condo was spotless and had everything we needed both inside and on the lanai. Surinder is an excellent host. He provided explicit instructions on how to get to the condo and checkin, and local recommendations for activities, shopping, and dining. He was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

We’ve been staying in the Mauna Lani Terraces for about ten years and this has been the best condo we’ve rented. The kitchen is fully equipped and there were all the appliances we’d needed. Everything is top of the line and in working order. Our hosts were very helpful, sending information about the area and they made sure we had all we needed. We hope to stay there when we return next year. Thanks Dave & Sue,Eileen & John

The best part of the condominium was the stunning view over the fish ponds to the ocean. The unit was quiet, and close to the beach club. Surinder was responsive. We had a wonderful peaceful stay. My husband also liked how close we were to the golf course, he could walk over and hit balls.

Excellent stay at Mauna Lani! Perfect location on the island and Dave and Sue were fabulous hosts - very welcoming and responsive! Condo was pristine and we so appreciated their attention to detail in making guests feel welcome and right at home in their beautiful place! The grounds, pool and beach club were also pristine - we had a really wonderful time and hope to have the opportunity to stay again someday! They set the bar very high!

It’s hard to say one amenity stood out as everything was amazing. The beautifully appointed furnishings, the view from the lani invited a sense of relaxation. Check in instructions were a breeze.
