"I am sure you get tons of emails like this one, but we had to share how much better our trip to Maui was last week because of your book. We definitely feel your book guided us to the best sights, sounds and eats on the island. Your pinpoint guides for the road to Hana made that experience so much better. On a funny note, we kept meeting up with the same 2 couples at different points of interest where no one else was. After the third time meeting up, we just said "Maui Revealed?" and they said "Yes." On a vacation, time is very important and your book allowed us to make the best use of our time. You can't put a price on that."

Four Seasons Resort Lanai, The Lodge at Ko'ele
(800) 819-5053 or (808) 565-4000
One Keomoku Hwy., Lana'i
102 rooms, pool, spa, free fitness room, 24-hour room service, valet-only parking, 2 restaurants, conference room, game room, coffee maker with free coffee daily, hi-speed Internet access in rooms, Wi-Fi resort-wide, valet-only laundry, children’s program (at Manele Bay), 18-hole putting green.
The most expensive lodge you ever saw and certainly the ritziest. Located 1,700 feet up in the misty cool center of the island, the lodge is for those who want a formal, less Hawaiian experience. (Some Hawai‘i residents like it for this very reason. They consider it a getaway.) The place looks more like an English manor house than a Hawaiian hotel with its manicured lawns, formal gardens and green houses. Tea time is from 3–5 p.m. while sitting next to the fireplace reading Tennyson or Shelley. (OK, so we don’t really read those dudes, but dang, the tea sure is good. Unfortunately, the service is not attentive enough for a Four Seasons.) Food is the weak spot here. It’s worth nowhere near the $45–$65 you’ll spend in the formal dining room (with dress code—men must wear long pants and closed shoes). Even the bar charges $7 for pineapple juice. (Though they say it’s fresh, it’s no bargain on the “pineapple island,” where no pineapple is grown anymore. It’s all imported!)
The recent renovations are lovely and in keeping with the theme. The colors are very fresh, bright and English with a hint of Asian influence. The rooms feel spacious, and the lanais are generously sized. The bathrooms are finished with gold-toned fixtures and deep soaking tubs.
Many amenities are included in the room rate, such as valet parking, room safes, 18-hole putting green, fitness room, casabella chairs by the pool, croquet, kids’ day program, and a game room with computers, board games and billiards. Mini bars can be personalized to your tastes. Internet is an extra charge and local calls are $1. The area shuttle is $51 per person per stay and will take you into town or down to the Manele Bay where have access to all the facilities. You can arrange a horseback ride, carriage ride, golf, archery or even clay-shooting near the property.
Rooms (406–560 sq. ft.) are $310–$675, suites (693–1,170 sq. ft.) are $790–$1,575.
