The Rates at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

""Worthy of your bucket list", this oceanfront Kaupulehu resort is the "perfect blend of Hawaiian and luxury", offering "large and elegant" rooms (with marble bathrooms and soaking tubs), "incredible" views, "fantastic" pools, a "truly bliss-out spa", golf, tennis and a children's program that "kids love"; "of course it's expensive" but worth the "total relaxation" you get sipping a "mai tai on the beach" or snorkeling in the "natural protected" lagoon and being waited on by a "staff that greets you with aloha at every turn"

"Dinner at Ulu Ocean Grill or the Beach Tree are consistently excellent, if costly; but it can be hard to tear yourself away in search of cheaper options nearly a half-hour away"
