we loved staying here at Allyson's place at the Mauni Lani golf villas. we really enjoyed the pool area and hot tub, the Mauni Lani beach club was one of the best places to swim, snorkel and just hang out at the beach. it is about a 20 minute walk from the villa so we mostly drove to it. the villa has a great layout and was well appointed. the kitchen is welk stocked with everything we needed to do most of our cooking at the villa. there are lots of beach towels and lots of useful gear in the garage including boogie boards, beach chairs and beach umbrellas which we made use of as we explored the many great beaches around the Kohala area. Allyson was great to communicate with and the whole experience was fantastic. She had lots of great recommendations for places to see including how to go and see the historic Mauna Loa eruption which coincided with our vacation. This was our second time staying at the Mauna Lani golf villas -first at Allyson's. we would definitely stay here again.
