We have a week reserved in early November. I am not embarrassed to admit that every so often, when cabin fever hits, I scroll through the pics on the hotel website. It’s surprisingly uplifting.

I feel the same way!
Have a September booking which I hope will stick, but the bigger issue is if I can find a flight to KOA at that time, being as UA have a waiver for travel to KOA etc, thru the end of September.

I'd be really surprised if this hotel really opens June 1 - the quarantine for visitors is getting more and more enforced each day - and most hotels are only providing a single use room key to enter the room only once.

This was to get rid of termites eating the hardwood doors, cabinets and furniture, all of the corridors at the MK are open to the outdoors which means fumigation would have no effect on bugs coming in from the exterior, that's just Hawaii.

July 1
However, this is still obviously contingent on the governor not extending the travel ban past June 30th...

I did also enquire about their 2021 renovation schedule and was told this:
RENOVATION FOR 2021
The MAIN BUILDING WILL BE CLOSED from 3/22 to 7/18 - (4MONTHS)
The BEACHFRONT WING WILL BE CLOSED from 7/19 to 10/3 (ABOUT 3MONTHS)
Do not know if the wing not being renovated is available during these time, or also how disruptive this work will be if you are staying during it.

Wonder if they will do any work on the pool?
Hello Flyertalkers —
I’m looking to book 5 nights at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in Kona, Hawaii in late March/early April 2021. I don’t see any points bookings available even with flexible dates. Do some hotels open up points booking later in the year after general availability is opened?
Thanks for your insight.
Cheers.

As tattikat2 has discovered award availability is unlikely to open up between 3/22 and 7/18. Likely to be limited until 10/3/21 as well.

For those hoping for a July 1 reopening date - there is absolutely no indication by the State the quarantine will be lifted at that time. I'd expect the hotel needs weeks to prepare for a reopening (recall staff - supplies - training - new social distancing procedures, etc). Given July 1 is only 4 1/2 weeks away - I'm really skeptical it can be pulled off.
Hopefully I'm wrong as I'm essentially trapped in Hawaii (and yes, worst places to be trapped - but stuck nonetheless)
