Frommer's Review

This is a great place to relax in the lap of luxury. Low-rise clusters of oceanview villas nestle between the sea and the greens of a new golf course. The Four Seasons has no concrete corridors and no massive central building -- it looks like a two-story town-house project, clustered around three seaside swimming pools and a snorkeling pond. The rooms are furnished in Pacific tropical style: light gold walls, hand-knotted rugs over clay-colored slate, and rattan-and-bamboo settees. The ground-level rooms have bathrooms with private outdoor gardens (surrounded by black-lava rock and a bamboo roof), so you can shower under the tropical sun or nighttime stars. All rooms have new flatscreen plasma TVs.

If you can afford it, this is the place to go to be pampered -- sit back and relax as the pool attendants bring you ice-cold water, chilled towels, and fresh fruit kabobs. Other pluses include a Hawaiian history and cultural interpretive center, complimentary scuba lessons, a complimentary valet, twice-daily maid service, and a multilingual concierge. The spa has been selected by Condé Nast Traveller magazine as the world's best resort spa. One of the five pools is a saltwater pond carved out of black-lava rock with reef fish swimming about. The new Lava Lounge offers exotic martinis, entertainment, and the best view for watching the sun sink into the Pacific.

Your kids will be pampered, too -- the complimentary Kids for All Seasons program features plenty of activities to keep the little ones busy. The resort also offers children's menus in all restaurants, a game room, videos, complimentary infant gear (cribs, highchairs, and so on), and more.

Facilities:3 restaurants (including Pahu i'a and Beach Tree Bar & Grill); 3 bars (nightly entertainment ranging from contemporary Hawaiian to pianist); 5 exquisite outdoor pools (including a giant infinity pool and a lap pool); 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf course exclusively for guests and residents; 8 tennis courts (4 lit for night play); complete fitness center; award-winning spa; 6 whirlpools; watersports equipment rentals; complimentary year-round children's program; game room; concierge; activities and car rental through the concierge; business center; salon; room service; both in-room and spa massage; babysitting; complimentary washer/dryers; same-day laundry service and dry cleaning; Wi-Fi Internet access in lobby, guest rooms, pools, and other places on property
