this is a great condo on the Big Island. We stayed for approximately 8 days in June and had a great time. There is good access to local beaches and the pool is terrific! The beach for the Mauna Lani Terrace Condominiums is not great. It's kind of run down and the beach is pretty rocky. But you do have access to the better beach club down the coast, so that is adequate for snorkeling access, etc. There were a few electrical idiosyncrasies in the condo that we had to figure out for ourselves, but overall, a very comfortable place to spend a relaxing vacation!! We would definitely stay again.
