I preferred the Mauna Lani before Auberge. It’s not the same relaxed low key vibe at all. Very over priced. Shortage of staff. Slow service at all restaurants. Too many kids for an upper end luxury hotel. Lack of personalized service. Felt disconnected from hotel.

The staff is very friendly the place is very nice but I will mention one thing If you're getting a room make sure it's not an adjoining room or there are children nearby because you will hear them and they will keep you up all night. If you're okay with children crying all night then don't worry about it but you might want to check when you check in what rooms are around you.

"The pool was chaotic. It appeared that many locals sneak in to play after school or on the weekend. Learned this firsthand from a mother and daughter one day and another father and son the next. Midweek the pool shenanigan situation was mild and overall had an enjoyable time. Unfortunately things ..."
