Ultimately we chose the Westin due to the pools, but I would love to be able to leverage the Mauna Kea facility if possible. I called the concierge and they had contradicting information to what was on the website, they said there was a charge for Westin guests.
The beach at Mauna Kea is great. The pool is pretty far set back and nothing special. If you're going for the beach...it's great. Don't waste your time for the pool. If you do go over, go for breakfast and get the banana bread...YUM!
