Mauni Lani is the perfect location to use as a home base if your plans call for exploring the entire island. It is also a great place to stay if you simply want to lounge by the pool or hang out at the beach club. Beach club access is a big plus for this rental - easy to access, great snorkeling, food and drinks a few steps away at the restaurant, cabanas, paddle board rentals, & plenty of shade if you want to stay out of the direct sun. The rental unit itself was spotless and appointed with a need. As you may have read in previous reviews, the thermostat can’t be set any lower than 74. This is not an issue!! We leave our thermostat at home on 72 & it felt the same or maybe even a little cooler. The beds are extremely comfortable. I wasted a lot of time looking at rentals all over the Big Island. I would have saved a lot of time and a couple of headaches had I simply booked this unit as soon as I found it!
