The house, the host, the set-up was beyond our expectations! Highly recommend this home. We were sad to leave and would’ve loved an extra 3 days! 10/10. It was perfect for our family of six (4 teenagers). It was perfectly spaced so we always had our own areas when needed. This place had all the amenities for going to the beach, cooking at home and even a newly arrived 6 person golf cart to explore the Mauna lani area. The cleanliness of the home and the top notch landscaping really stood out.

Stayed with my kids and grandkids. Loved location and the pool along with each family having private space (bedroom pods) and shared space (house and pool). Location is very convenient and the golf cart is a hit. Recommend. Hosts are very responsive and will try to stay with them again in the future.

Amazing property. Beautiful inside and out. Literally everything one could possibly need from the kitchen to the pool. Everyone in our nine person group had a fabulous time, even just hanging out in the houses or the by pool and hot tub. Works perfectly for those who want to stay together but not "too together." Didn't end up with pics of the inside of the home but it is gorgeous!

Amazing private paradise

The property was stunning. We had the pleasure of staying here for 1 week. Family of 4, with 2 teen boys, each had their own personal "pod"--so for starters, those that have teens know that already this place was a hit! It really is beautiful, and amazingly private as well. We went from here to Maui--and already I'm missing the privacy that Hale Mele offered. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, utensils, cutting boards, etc. Ample seating indoors and out--this property has so much to offer. It was a great home base for the various activities the island has to offer as well.

Amazing Stay

Wonderful home for our extended family. The hale style home worked perfectly for our group of grandparents, parents, teens, and kids with different wake up times and bedtimes! The house was stunning. Our favorite spot (other than the hot tub) was the tower overlooking Palm trees with views out to the ocean. Would stay here again. 10/10!
