Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel

On the Big Island of Hawaii, Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel is upbeat, breezy and dramatic. Sharing 1,839 acres of oceanfront paradise with the legendary Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel opened in 1994. The hotel is nestled into the bluffs above the #1-rated Hapuna Beach in a flowing, contemporary Hawaiian style. All 350 of its guestrooms are ocean-facing and radiate from an open-air lobby that provides sweeping views of the Kohala coastline.

The hotel’s curved, slate-tiled lobby provides open-air views of the adjacent Kohala Coast. Upon check-in, guests are greeted with cool towels and passion orange juice. Part of the 1,839-acre Mauna Kea Resort, the hotel primarily attracts leisure travelers with its Hapuna Beach location and proximity to championship golf.

Lavish breakfast buffets are served in an indoor-outdoor area, while lunch and dinner options include a seafood grill, a steakhouse and sushi bar, and a poolside bar. The beachfront hotel is adjacent to an 18-hole golf course and within a five-minute drive of another 18-hole course via complimentary scheduled shuttle. Other recreation facilities include a health spa, a fitness center with exercise classes, and a freshwater freeform outdoor pool.

The nine-story hotel has seven restaurants and bars, many with open-air terraces and ocean views. Cuisines include fresh local seafood, steak, sushi, and American fare. The clubhouse at the adjacent golf course houses a casual café. For recreation, guests choose from a freeform outdoor pool, a fitness center with cardiovascular equipment and exercise classes (surcharge), and a health spa providing massage therapy, facials, and body treatments. Several evenings a week, a high-powered telescope is set up for guests to stargaze, and an astronomer is on hand. A year-round children’s program (surcharge) includes Hawaiian arts and crafts, pole fishing, and beachcombing activities. On-site shops offer men's and women's clothing, jewelry, and art.

Guests have signing privileges and access to the facilities at the partner hotel Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, including a second 18-hole golf course, a weekly luau, and 13 tennis courts. Complimentary scheduled shuttles are provided between the two hotels and to other attractions in the Mauna Kea Resort.

Located in two ocean-view wings and one oceanfront tower, the hotel’s 350 guestrooms all feature private, furnished lanais with garden, partial ocean, or full ocean views. Island decor includes white-louvered doors, light woods, and wicker and rattan furnishings. Rooms have minibars, mini-refrigerators, coffeemakers, video-game consoles, and in-room safes. Amenities include complimentary premium channels, free local calls, complimentary bottled water, and high-speed Internet access. Bathrooms have granite vanities, separate glass shower stalls and marble tubs, telephones, bathrobes, and slippers.

Coast Grille - A lanai with ocean views surrounds the open-air dining room of this seafood restaurant, which emphasizes fresh local ingredients. Specialties include an oyster bar, lobster, and a seafood buffet on Friday evenings. Serving dinner only.

Hakone Steakhouse and Sushi Bar - A Japanese stone lamp marks the entrance to this tranquil fine-dining restaurant. Steak items complement a menu that includes fresh island fish, sukiyaki, shabu shabu, and sushi. Guests watch the chef at work at a 12-seat sushi bar; a Japanese buffet is held on Friday and Saturday evenings. Serving dinner only.

Ocean Terrace - This casual, open-air restaurant serves breakfast buffets and à la carte selections.

Arnie’s Clubhouse - Adjacent to the fitness center and overlooking fairways, the casual clubhouse offers salads, burgers, sandwiches, and snacks. Open for daily lunch and Sunday brunch.

Beach Bar - Cocktails, early-afternoon pupus, sandwiches, and salads are served poolside.

Beyond the hotel’s large freeform outdoor pool and spa tub, a pathway leads past a beach-activities desk to the half-mile crescent of Hapuna Beach. To the north end lies a secluded snorkeling cove. Designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, the 18-hole Hapuna Golf Course provides ocean views, a driving range, putting and chipping greens, a pro shop, and a fitness center.

The Robert Trent Jones, Sr.-designed Mauna Kea Golf Course is a five-minute drive from the hotel via complimentary scheduled shuttle. Guests also have access to a second fitness center and 13 tennis courts with pro instruction (surcharge) at the partner hotel Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.
