The Islands Villa K1 My wife and I had the privilege of staying at the Mauna Lani Island Villa’s unit K1in early April of 2016. It exceeded our expectations as it came complete with three massive king bedrooms all with their own deluxe ensuites. From the extra towels, to the robes, to the amazing bed we slept in, they have thought of everything. An upper floor office/workspace with an amazing handcrafted desk for those days where a bit of work follows you to the Island. A generous living/eating area with more space than you can use with doors opening from two locations to your private lanai. Modern kitchen outfitted with all the amenities of home and more for those days when you want to be creative with the Island fare and eat at home. Double driveway for parking a vehicle should you decide you need one but with everything in walking distance you could honestly survive without one. Within close walking distance: A beautiful pool /lounging area literally 50 steps away. An independent, well stocked, reasonably priced grocery store. A shopping centre with almost everything you may need including some of Hawaii’s best coffee. Several excellent restaurants and a couple of hotels. An amazing spa, health-club and tennis facility. The three beaches of Mauna Lani are in walking distance and will take you through an area of old lava flow and fish ponds. Pictures simply don’t do these views justice. The Beach: We are fans of the beach for several reasons, and Mauna Lani has three terrific beaches, we primarily used the one closet to the beach club parking. This one has great, beach-water access, has an excellent swimming area and offers some of the worlds most amazing snorkelling, right there. I have snorkelled all over the world, and for ease and access, this beach offers a variety of sea life second to none, and in a quiet bay where even the youngest or least experienced snorkeler will fall in love with this place. Two amazing golf courses at Mauna Lani, we played the North course twice and the South course once. I love the contrast of blue skies, brilliant green fairways and the black lava that the courses have been carved into. But the most breathtaking golf holes I have ever seen, are located on the back nines of both courses. We will be back again every year, and we would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking to have an outstanding vacation. Sincerely, Mick and Wendy

It's easy to have a good time in Hawaii. The living is gracious at this luxurious villa located in a well maintained gated community with amenities, including resort beach access. Just a walk away are shops and restaurants as well as fitness, tennis and spa facilities. Our group enjoyed the stay immensely from daily cooling in the ocean and near-by pool, to dining out and "at home" on tropical evenings. Day trips to the volcanos, the observatory and the two main cities on the island, Kona and Hilo were memorable. We also found the quiet of the off season in early May much to our liking. We highly recommend it! Nancy & Charles Slagorsky Calgary, Alberta, Canada
