“Hualalai's open-air calm”

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai is an open-air Big Island resort modeled on Bali — incredibly-appointed rooms with outdoor showers and sea or golf-green views, excellent restaurants (the steakhouse a favorite), a spot-on gym, a beautifully-maintained course (no caddies; easy club rental), warm Aloha greetings and service guests preferred to the Rosewood next door, and a lost sunglasses return that delighted. Honest notes: Kings Pond snorkeling runs murky with no visible lifeguard, tiki torch gas smell was strong, the shore is rocky, first-floor rooms get less sun, and one guest felt service lagged the Maldives Four Seasons.
