2. Having seen our friends' rooms, in the south wing of the hotel, I can tell you that while they were great rooms, if you want to go for the full Mauna Kea experience, opt for the rooms in the newer section of the hotel with the beach vice pool view, and separate walkin closet and huge bathroom with rainshower.

3. We have visited this hotel 27 of past 31 yrs--we are 16-20 handicap golfers-hotel was closed for 2 1/2 yrs to repair earthquake damage---the hotel is much more expensive than in past--they have done very little to Beachfront rooms while spending huge amounts on 7th and 8th fl rooms making 2 rooms for every 3 in past--restaurants are much more expensive with same food--service was good but that may have been because of 30-35% occupancy--we are golfers and play every day--spent 16 days there--course is now so hard it is unpleasant to play--traps/bunkers are now 6-8 ft deep everywhere--greens are slanted and tiered so 3 and 4 putts are not unusual--cost to play golf as a hotel guest has gone from $120 per day to $240--that's $480 per day per couple--out of our league and we usually spend $700-800 a day when we go to a resort--hard to recommend to go that far--airline used to be $900 RT from East Coast now $1600 plus $600 to upgrade with miles and cash--out of sight.
