Kauna'oa Bay fronts Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection on the Kohala Coast and offers snorkeling, canoeing, and other water sports through the on-site water sport facilities. Private beachfront services provide sun loungers and umbrellas on the sand, and manta ray viewing experiences are available on-site. The Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed golf course and 9 on-site tennis courts round out the outdoor recreation options.

All 252 guest rooms have a private lanai with ocean or golf course views and were recently renovated. Nightly turn-down service, complimentary laundry services, and a built-in entertainment centre with flat-screen TV and electronics charging station are included. Each room also has a copy of The Art of Mauna Kea, a coffee-table book about Mr. Rockefeller's art collection.

The hotel's spa & wellness centre offers massage, facial treatments, body wraps, manicures, pedicures, and spa/wellness packages. Guests can use the fitness centre, outdoor swimming pool, and hot tub/Jacuzzi; eco-friendly practices include eliminating harmful sun care products, and electric vehicle charging stations are on-site. Supervised children's activities, babysitting/child services, a children's playground, and a games room support family stays.

“My time here felt like discovering the happiest place on earth, a truly special corner of Kohala Coast where breathtaking ocean views meet a simply gorgeous beach. There's an understated elegance to the place, a feeling of being genuinely cared for by the staff that makes you want to return even before you leave. It's a splurge, certainly, but the experience delivered feels well worth the investment.”
