This is about a 3-5 min drive to the beach, a little more to the beach club. No water view. Unit (E4) was spotless. Units are huge,alll ml it’s too big. Rented through KBM Resorts. They were great and helped us get settled on the Big Island as we were to have been in Maui just after the fire.

It's like a residence style, perfect for large families, young children, babies who need to do lots of cleaning and food preparations during a vacation. Lots of space and seating areas both indoor and outdoor. There's trails and lots of equipment available for use. A grocery store minutes away so that was very convenience for buy some BBQ stuff and being able to make some meals in the residence. Only complaint was an ant infestation in the kitchen. Ants were everywhere, inside cabinets, on the floors, counter tops, even inside appliances. We couldn't use the coffee machine because ants were seriously inside the parts where could not be washed. We hid the utensils we used and clean dishes in the fridge to avoid ants. It was a little bit of a disaster and kids couldn't crawl and play on the floors coz' of all the ants as well.

Unbelievably beautiful accomodations that make you feel like you've left the islands...as kamaaina that lives here on the big Island.... This felt like we flew away to an exclusive vacation community...uncrowded... Beautiful...peaceful...with everything you need to refresh and rejuvenate. It's not cheap but cheaper than paying airfare off Island and getting an exceptional vacation accomodations.

Looking for the ultimate Island experience while you are in Hawaii? We stayed at the Islands at Mauna Lani and we just have to tell you about the unit we stayed at. All the units are different but we chose this one for its close location to the pool and incredible attention to the details of its furnishings! D4 is like living in an art gallery or museum of fine art! Every room has been meticulously staged to please the eye and provide every possible convenience for those lucky enough to stay here. There are several original pieces of artwork by world renowned artist Gary Paul Stutler. Not reproductions, the real deal! (Only available in D4 at this time)! The upper level master suites must be seen in person to be truly appreciated! The master bedroom is absolutely gorgeous featuring hand painted ceiling motifs that one can study for hours on end. Plenty of room for all our needs including all popular streaming services to choose from! The private balcony provides views of an incredibly maintained backyard featuring the sweet music of many of Hawaii’s native songbirds and other wildlife! The second master has an adjoining, full bathroom and its own balcony providing a private second suite of sorts. There is even more bedroom space available if needed in the form of a trundle bed tucked into a convenient location on the upper floor. The upper main bathroom is huge featuring a ample bath and shower with full length two sink vanity. It is just as much a work of art as it is utilitarian in nature. Absolutely exquisite! The main floor features a huge family room, a large indoor dining area, and modern kitchen with all the amenities! Feel like a BBQ? Both downstairs patios provide enough space for two families with table, seating areas, and a wonderful BBQ grill to entertain your guests or family! The downstairs also features a half bathroom and washer/dryer completing a well rounded feel to all our needs! Just steps away, is the pool at the Islands! A waterfall flowing into the pool provides the perfect Island obeisance to the most incredible pool experience in the area! A large sauna (hot-tub) is located right next to the pool with a jacuzzi option to melt away the stress of the day and bubble away the aches and pains after a fruitful day at the adjoining golf course! There is also a BBQ area here with plenty of seating, outdoor BBQ grills, an indoor kitchen complete with stove, oven, and refrigerator! Every comfort has been seen to so we and our entire family can’t help but enjoy our stay! As a guest, we also got a pass to the Mauna Lani Beach club just down the road! We checked pricing at several venues before our stay and found D4 to be the best deal on the island even without all the posh amenities and associated perks! Treat yourself, your family and friends to the best the Island of Hawaii has to offer for your stay here!

The islands at Mauna Lani are individually owned villages style units. Some owners will rent them out through property managers, Airbnb, etc.. It’s misleading to think that Coral Tree owns The islands. There are nothing more than a property manager of only a few homes. There are other property managers hired by owners in The islands. Units are extremely well built and each owner has decided how they choose to finish it on the inside so pay attention to photos. Best complex / property to stay of all the complexes in Mauna Lani. Mauna Lani is the best resort area on the island.

Really cool getaway. Hidden gem. Easy access to great beach, spa, fitness center as well as grocery store if needed. Just make sure she going to the beach wear swimming shoes to protect your feet. Bottom of beach got a lot of sharp lava rocks and try going there early it can get busy really fast. Also beach cafe is awesome but always packed. Views are amazing.

Went with my 3 other family members and some other family friends and this place other than being family friendly was beautiful for sure, it overlooked the golf course and even had a pool and tennis courts. I had no complaints and would love to stay here again if I could. Plenty of restaurants and beaches nearby and each condo is individually owned so there’s usually no neighbors to complain.

Unbelievable grounds, quiet grounds with only 48 units. You never see anyone, the pool has only one or two other groups there at a time, the units are extremely spacious with an awesome layout, top and bottom. We have 3 young children and it's perfect for us!
