Pros: Location is terrific, close to water, great view. The beds are comfortable, and the pool area is close by clean and nice. We enjoyed our stay, but want to bring a few things to the attention of the owners and management as well as future renters.
The place is in great need of an upgrade. The refrigerator door has a dent in it, does not stay closed and needs to be checked, as well as damage to the outside of the door. Two kitchen towels were provided for a 3 week stay. None of the screen doors lock, and the bedroom screen came off the rail, and the frame came away from the wall in the master bedroom when the glass door was opened and or locked. The sheets and towels need to be upgraded-even a bit would help. The bath towels are like used gym towels, and when we asked for a few more, we were told that we could wash them. For the price, and a 3 week stay, I think there is a better solution. There are no pads on the chaise lounge, and when I asked management, I was told they could see if the owners would buy some.
Some of this is just a matter of providing to match the price and a bit more comfort. But definitely in need of an upgrade. Management was kind and responsive when we asked for clean placemats and a few towels that were delivered. We recognize these are small incidentals but definitely even minute amenities..for this price range...need attention to detail.

We really enjoyed our time here. It was private, quiet and absolutely stunning. It was a short walk to a very private beach. We would be go back!

We stayed on this property a few months ago and loved it all so much that we came back again. This was a different unit for us, and still a great layout and accommodation. Everything was in good working order and no issues, which is how a vacation should be.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condominium. Fanatastic view and location to the ocean. The condominium is very spacious for a family of 4, tastefully decorated and updated. We loved the use of the outdoor kitchen/grills near the pool area as well as the cabana chaise lounges located on the beach We found the Mauna Lani complex to be well maintained and very quiet.
All in all a very wonderful relaxing family vacation.
Our only negative comment: the kitchen lacks certain staple condiments such as seasonings for those who like to cook!

We have stayed there before. This unit includes two passes to the sports club. A first class gym, tennis and lap pool. The unit was clean and everything worked. A little noise from the family upstairs but no big deal. I will always make the Mauna Lani Terrace my first choice.

Amazing location! Loved walking to the Auberge and the beach club. Property management group was wonderful to work with and made everything easy! Property is a little dated but the location makes up for it. There is a grumpy old man on the 3rd floor who does not like children playing outside, we avoided him after one lecture, but owners should be aware he may scare off families from returning.

The location is fantastic but the condo is not very comfortable.
There were issues with the freezer and water stains on the sheetrock. The area rugs were old and dirty.

Really great time. Location was awesome. Napua restaurant a must do. The pool was awesome too! Negatives were that there was not a flash light or umbrella in the condo and we had a few nights of storms. Also seemed like significant water/black mold issue in the walls by guest bathroom and living room……

This condo is beautiful & perfectly situated in Mauna Lani, right next to the Auberge Hotel.
Very happy with it & will definitely be returning. Aloha & Mahalo.

This condo was ideally located with a view of the ponds and ocean, just around the corner but out sight of the lovely pool, and a very short walk to the excellent beach club. This is a beautiful property, and we instantly felt like we were truly on vacation while surrounded by the high ceilinged walls, lovely wooden slatted sliding doors, and generous furnishings. Being able to walk out the lenai door and straight onto the grass and to the ocean was a dream.

Well equipped unit in a beautiful setting. The location is close to lots of attractions along the Kahala Coast and elsewhere on the island. David the concierge was very helpful, attentive and responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

It is okay but needs to be updated. We had a little problem getting a needed maintenance problem taken care of. This condo is really good for adults only but is not very family friendly. If you have children be sure to read all the HOA rules. There are very specific rules about playing games on the lawns and playing in the pool. The rules mention things like no Marco Polo in the pool. Seriously, how can you not have games in a pool😬 There is a guy on the top floor of J building that has assigned himself the security guard. All of our family are rule followers but we had a problem with following these.

Thank you for all your help.

Returned to the Big Island after a long time away. Really enjoyed our comfortable accommodations in a lovely spot with views of the beach outside the back lanai. Beautiful, updated decor with an extremely well equipped and organized kitchen. Very good layout for the four of us with the two bedrooms and a large living area in-between. Despite the monumental storm that blew through during our visit, we had a lovely time and hope to return again soon!

Perfect vacation property for some well needed down time. All the necessary amenities were provided, couldn't have been better.
Flat out (IMO) the absolute best location, walking proximity to the better beaches & restaurants.

Property was even better in person! It was very clean and well appointed. The location was spectacular! The views of the ocean and tropical fish ponds were beautiful! We loved spending time at the beautiful beach just a short walk down the path. Our kids loved stopping along the way to find fish in the ponds. We spent an entire day at the beach snorkeling for hours....we even had 2 sea turtles swim past us. We would come back in a heartbeat! Thanks for an amazing time in paradise!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at J101 in Mauna Lani terrace. The place was way beyond our expectations. It is hard to judge from photos the quality of a condo rental. This unit was so clean, immaculate and top notch in every way we were pleasantly surprised. Even though you could see the ocean there was literally no foot traffic in front of our unit. The pool was right around the corner to the right ( we never used it). There is a beautiful boardwalk along the ocean to the left of the condo that leads to the clubhouse beach. our building - building J - was the closest building to the clubhouse beach. Pretty nice. A beautiful spot. Lots of free chairs and cabanas. The water was calm in the bay so perfect for swimming. And just a few feet out from the white sand beach, there were lots of coral and fish for some pretty good snorkeling. There is also a hut at the club where you can opt to rent gear or sign up for excursions. The clubhouse also has a bar restaurant with some wonderful food and drinks. If you follow the boardwalk further to the left there are private gated homes and a golf course with a historical ancient fishing rock path. Very beautiful, unexpected and interesting. If you follow the oceanfront to the right of the condo, there is the Mauna Lani beach resort hotel which has its own beach ( not as nice - more rocky) and the resort was under renovations. So we had no neighbors at all on our right. That will obviously change in the future possibly affecting foot traffic. If you continue past the Mauna Lani resort you’ll eventually find the Fairmont Orchid which is another great oceanfront property with a bar restaurant and shops. I can’t say enough good things about this unit or it’s location. It is about 30- 40 minutes north of Kona, so we did have to drive for a couple excursions in kona but honestly you could just opt to schedule excursions out your back Door. We didn’t know that until we arrived at our condo. Also at the entrance of mauna Lani resort there is a beautiful shopping center with some great shops and restaurants and a nice grocery market. So convenient. We ate breakfast at “under the bodhi tree” one morning for a fabulous local organic fruit and grain breakfast. We also had a quick bite another morning at the coffee shop for danishes. And we ate dinner at Tommy Bahama restaurant and rented our snorkel gear at “snorkel Bob’s” - all in the same shopping center. It was wonderful. We highly recommend

We truly enjoyed our stay at Mauna Lani Terrace J101. The condo is really lovely and the location is great. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach, restaurants and surrounding resorts. We spent many evenings sitting on the liani enjoying a glass of wine and listening to the sound of the ocean.
