Mauna Lani reopening tomorrow

Travel to Hawaii is back, and I'm happy to announce that the Mauna Lani will be reopening to guests tomorrow, Saturday, November 7th, after an extensive renovation of the entire property. I've seen photographs, and the new room product is light, bright, and wonderful. The Big Island is an incredible place to golf, explore varied landscapes ranging from volcanoes to rain forests, walk on a sandy beaches, or lounge by a resort pool with a cool drink in your hand.

Mauna Lani is offering an incredible promotion, the Virtuoso Mauna Lani Journey. With a minimum five night stay, the resort is offering guests a $1000 resort credit ($200 per night ... so 7 nights = $1400 credit, etc.). This is on top of the Virtuoso amenities which add these money-saving perks to your stay:

• daily breakfast for two ($80 value)
• $100 resort credit
• one category upgrade if available

What about Covid pre-testing? Mauna Lani is collaborating with Vault Health to provide you with a safe, fast, and easy testing experience in the privacy of your own home.

$1000 resort credit on the Big Island

Mauna Lani is reopening in January after a thorough $200 million renovation of guest rooms, public areas, and the pool and beach areas. The resort's new owner wanted create a resort that is the equal of anything else on the Big Island, and he has definitely invested massively to bring that about.

Enjoy a $1,000 credit at the reimagined Mauna Lani Resort... so read the email blast I just received. I spoke today with my rep and learned that the deal is even better than that. Guests will receive a $250 daily resort credit when booking a 4+ night stay in an Ocean View room or above. So if you stay a full week, you'll get $1,750 in resort credits good towards lunches, dinners, and tropical drinks at the bar.

Virtuoso amenities combine with this promotion, and the deal is good from January 1 to November 20, 2020. So in addition to the $250 daily credit, guests who book with their Virtuoso travel advisor will also receive:

• Daily buffet breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, in HaLani Restaurant.
• $100 USD Resort Credit for Dining, Spa or Golf per stay to be utilized during stay (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
• One Category Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability (upgrade is from room to room or suite to suite; upgrade does not apply to Bungalows).
• Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability
• Complimentary Wi-Fi already included in the resort fee
