Inquire with our team for more details and for pricing.  Rates are set by the hotel and are subject to change each year and during certain peak weeks.   For guests who want to participate, advance registration is required with the hotel. <br /> <br />The Mauna Kea Resort sets the rates for its Optional Amenity Program. Participation is entirely optional, and fewer than half of our guests choose to enroll.<br />At this time, rates have only been published for 2026. <br />The Resort typically updates its pricing annually and does not generally honor or grandfather the previous year's rates into a new calendar year.<br />As a result, 2027 rates will not be known until they are released by the Resort at the end of the year. <br /><br />While some guests love the Club experience, many of our guests find that with the free nearby Kumulani community pool, along with the public access to the same beaches using our collection of beach gear that signing up for the Club doesn’t make sense.  Several past guests have commented there is so much to do on the Big Island that they did not make full use of the optional program.     <br /><br />​​​​​​​<br />Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a new job, retirement, or simply celebrating the sunshine, our home and the Mauna Kea Resort are sure to create a great experience. <br /><br />Beyond building an elegant, yet comfortable furnished home, we know it's often the small surprises and conveniences that make all the difference. <br /><br />Examples include:<br /><br />• High-end luxury mattresses in all bedrooms for your comfort and enjoyment <br />• Luxurious high-end bedding for all beds <br />• Luxurious towels <br />• Spa shampoo, conditioner and body wash<br />• A fully equipped kitchen for all of your cooking, and baking needs<br />• High-end blender for making great smoothies and other tropical drinks<br />• Large selection of vinegars, oils and spices <br />• Starter pack of Kona coffee & collection of teas <br />• Popcorn <br /><br />For your day at the Beach:<br /><br />We love building really big sand castles.

Hawaii is located in a tropical climate, and insects, rodents and lizards flourish in this environment. Guests are reminded to keep lanai/patio doors closed especially at night. If our guest spots more than the normal expected pests, we always make our best efforts to contact and work with the HOA to minimize your interactions with these pests. Any contact with such pests within or outside the unit does not constitute a breach of this Agreement or give Guest any right to any refund or rental adjustment.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />PL-STVR-2023-000668
