Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

Four Seasons Hualalai is a gorgeous Bali-inspired open air resort that evokes a more relaxing and tranquil vibe than the other offerings on the leeward side of the big island. Dining options are excellent. Rooms incredibly well appointed with outdoor showers and great views. Highly recommend.

This was our first stay at a Four Seasons resort (or any luxury resort for that matter), and we had an amazing time that I have a feeling will be difficult to ever top. Everything was impressive. We loved how laidback the staff was, going out of their way to say 'yes' to our requests and letting us in on little experiences here and there that we wouldn't have read about in the brochure, and they were so friendly. The Manager's gathering in particular was really cool because we got to spend time getting to know many employees who we even connected with later in our stay (we loved Bea!), and no one ever seemed like they were in a rush to go do something else when we were talking with them. Peak hospitality. The food and drinks were amazing. Every day, the breakfast buffet had something new to experience, and it was all so fresh and delicious. All of the restaurants were great for dinner (we particularly enjoyed Miller & Lux and U'lu), and it was really cool that each pool and restaurant had its own cocktails and food to enjoy - it made us want to explore every one instead of just sticking to the one closest to our room. The view from our room was like a postcard, and the bed was so luxurious. I enjoyed seeing how the housekeeping staff would leave little personal touches like placing a flower I'd lazily left on the table, in a decorative bowl instead. I think the main draw to this resort for me was the King's Pond, and it didn't disappoint. Even when I found it 15 minutes before snorkeling was to close, the staff still encouraged me to get my flippers on and go explore, and I'm so glad I did. I made sure to come back later when I had more time, and it felt like I had my own private tour because no one else was swimming. The fish were so magical to swim with, and I didn't have to compete with the rowdy waves from the ocean! The marine biologist staff at the resort were SO COOL. They're very smart and good at what they do, and you can tell they have a passion for their jobs. Everyone just made us feel so special on our Honeymoon, which was impressive because I'm sure everyone who comes to the Four Seasons is celebrating something special. Finally, we were surprised to find out we were still able to enjoy the resort after checking out (and we had a very late flight). You're able to use the spa and golf hale to shower if you continue to use the pools, which was really convenient. We wished we had spent more time at the spa, we found out as a result!

From the time we stepped foot onto the property and from the time we left, it was the best trip we have ever had. Friendly service and excellent food. The room was fantastic. Overall, the best.

This Four Seasons resort has it all. Beautifully positioned on beach. Great restaurant views and food! Health club and classes are top notch plus a really good golf course. 10/10 overall. Close to airport We really loved and will be back.

We came here for a 3-night honeymoon stay at the recommendation of 2 friends: 1 local Hawaiian and another frequent guest. We were not disappointed. The Four Seasons has a brand reputation of service and class that is absolutely upheld at this location. The resort provides excellent amenities and resources at your disposal throughout your stay. We greatly appreciated all the attention and service that the Four Seasons is known for. The buffet breakfast is incredible and was the highlight of every morning.

Incredible hotel. Staff is so friendly and accommodating we especially loved working with Maggie and Noi at breakfast. Alex at the quiet pool took care of us every day and was so friendly. Ron the bellman was so great. They seemed to anticipate your needs before you even did. It was the perfect amount of action but didn’t feel crowded or confined. We loved to walk on the beach path. The only thing we didn’t care for was the manta ray experience. We may have been unlucky but it was cold and disappointing and we were bummed we left the hotel to go do it. The only other thing I would be mindful of when booking is that because the hotel is only 2 floors high, our ocean view room really was not an ocean view, you could see it if you strained, but being on the ground floor gave us the amazing outdoor shower. I just wouldn’t pay a premium to upgrade room to ocean view. We hope we can come back, it was our favorite hotel we’ve ever stayed and an unforgettable experience.
