2. They sent us down to the pool bar (we did ask if there was anyplace to get a bite to eat while waiting and they said unfortunately nothing would open until 5) not a big deal but would be nice if the bar maybe served a few appetizer options all day just in case someone is hungry.

5. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Mauna Kea, but honestly, it is beyond my normal travel budget and, unfortunately, I don't think I'll be back unless someone else is picking up the tab.

6. The beauty salon is overpriced but unfortunately in keeping with what deluxe properties charge these days, avoid it if you can.

8. unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the resort as much as we would have liked- we were only there for 3 nights, the first full day we spent at the volcano and the second full day was when the earthquake hit.

9. unfortunately, we were not able to eat in the Batik Restaurant because of the somewhat strict dress code.
