What a beautiful place to stay. The house was well equipped with everything we could need. Walking distance to the community pool and hot tub. The 2 beaches down at the resort were amazing. It was nice that they provided umbrellas and lounge chairs to their guests. The water was beautiful and was so big it never felt over crowded. We loved our week here and can’t wait to come back!

We stay in a condo at Kumulani. It was clean, very comfortable and relaxing. If you want beach or pool time, it’s going to involve a drive. If you want shopping or sightseeing, it’s going to involve a longer drive. A great place if you just want to chill and look at the ocean on the distance.

The beach on the property was awesome. The guys on the ATV's on the beach need to minimize there trips past the chairs with umbrellas, they went back and forth too much. They also need to travel down the sides of the chairs not through the middle divide of the chairs.

It’s a slice of heaven

We decided to try the big island for our annual visit and we all agreed it was not our favorite island. However, we loved the property, we loved the residence’s. They have beautiful views, the beach is amazing, the pool is clean, the waves were fantastic, you can walk out into the ocean 100yrs and still be at your chest. We drove around the entire hell scape of the island and were beyond excited to get home to this property!

Clean and Comfortable

Beautiful and clean property with high end appliances. The condo and bedding were spacious and comfortable. The residences include a very large range of sizes and locations so be aware that they may not be located on the beach. However, you are allowed to use both the Westin and Mauna Kea Hotel facilities which are wonderful. My only minor issue is the steep taxes and fees charged above the listed room rate (it accounted for 25%). I would have preferred the cleaning fee be bundled into the room rate so it's up front. Overall, I was very satisfied with the property and would book again when traveling with the family.

L’appartement que nous avons loue était très agréable, spacieux, comfortable, meublé avec goût. La cuisine est bien équipée. L’appartement est un peu en retrait de l’hôtel dans les résidences donc très calme mais à proximité de l’hôtel Westin, on y a accès à la plage et aux piscines et jacuzzi. Le personnel est très gentil.
