| On Apr 12, 2010 at 5:15P John Lindelow said Too bad you didn't book with Travel-Hawaii.com! Our construction alert for the Mauna Lani Point said the following, and every client has to affirm that they've read and understand it before they can complete a booking on our web site: "The Mauna Lani Point will be doing enhancements that will affect the pool pavilion area from March 17 - July 30, 2010. The project will include expanding the existing pavilion area and remodeling of the outdoor kitchen area. The mens and womens bathrooms will also be renovated in an updated, contemporary style. During the enhancement period, Mauna Lani Point guests will have full access to the swimming pool, whirpool spa and barbecues."
| On Apr 12, 2010 at 1:53P Rosemarie Schaich said When we booked our reservations for the Mauna Lani Point on January 24, 2010 on the Big Island for our April vacation, no one mentioned the renovations that are taking place affecting the pool, outdoor BBQ area, mens and women's rooms. Had they told us at the time of booking we would have chosen another resort.
