Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

Guests who stayed here loved

“While this is our eighth visit to Hualalai, it has been a number of years since we visited. We are towards the end of our 8 night stay and it seems like an ideal time to convey my thoughts as to our time here. We travel a fair amount and Hawaii has always been our family’s special place. And we are lucky to stay at FS properties - having been to every FS in Hawaii multiple times. So we have a sense of comparison - which is helpful in assessing a property’s proverbial worth. I write this review looking at all of the sunset, Maui and the waves crashing. I am 10 feet from the sand and 15 feet from the water - largely alone having a pre dinner drink. Only at Hualalai can I do this. The property is unique, special and beautiful. I speculate that at some time god came up with an idea for a resort - and out came Hualalai. Whether you are marvelling at the endless stretch of beach, the beauty of the Kings Pond or the majestic “quiet pool”, it is all ……special. If you reflect - you realize that having the opportunity to spend time here means that you are lucky, fortunate or blessed. This afternoon I shot hoops on the half court. Then had a steam in a beautiful steam room at the spa - then for a swim in the ocean and now a drink by myself at the beach. And shortly dinner with Kim - effectively on the beach at Beach Tree restaurant. That is special. As my wife says - only here can the most uptight man find a place to relax. There are great people - such as Stacey who is committed to ensuring that our stay is perfect. She embodies the Four Seasons spirit of striving for perfection. And Bardia who has focused on ensuring that our dining experiences are optimal. And Petros who oversees the Beach Tree restaurant and generously offered us guidance on a prospective Greek vacation. Very rarely is any stay for an extended period perfect. People are human - they make errors. But at least everyone here recognizes that errors are learning and teaching experiences. And who am I to knit pick such a wonderful place based on minor issues or minor errors - Hualalai is wonderful. And I look forward to coming back in 6 months to remind myself that heaven on earth does exist. If you do not like it at the FS Hualalai- I doubt that you will like it anywhere.”
