What a hotel!!!

My family stayed at the Mauna Lani. We had a wonderful time! When you check in, you are greeted with leis and fresh passion juice. After you check in, you are brought to your room which unfortunately is not all ocean front. Luckily, they all are nice.
There are many things to do at the Mauna Lani! You can go to the beach, go to Mauna Lani Sea Adventures for a sea adventure, hang out by the pool, and much more. For kids there is Camp Mauna Lani. About the pool, it is nice. They have an adult and kid hot tub. The only complaint is that the kids one is not warm. It is the same temperature as the regular pool just it has jets. If you want a more secluded pool, there is a secret pond. Not many people know about it and it is quite a bit hidden.
For dining, there are endless possibilities. For breakfast there is The Bay Terrace. It has a wonderful buffet. The Bay Terrace also serves dinner. If you want a more dressy dinner, try The Gallery. It has pretty good food. Their signature restaurant, The Canoe House, offers wonderful views of the sunset and serves the best food. It is quite expensive but probably worth it. At lunch time you'll want to go to the Ocean Grill. It has nice food and you can even go there in your swimsuit as it is next to the pool. They also have a wonderful smoothie called BangoBash. During the day, servers from the Ocean Grill will go to the beach chairs and pool chairs and ask if you want anything to eat or drink.
I could go on for hours about how we loved the Mauna Lani but I won't. When planning your trip to Hawaii, you must plan a stay at the Mauna Lani. You won't be mad at yourself for it and if your rich or have lots of cash to burn, stay in a bungalow-they have butlers!
