$$$$, Manele Bay
Fodor's Review:
With the added benefits bestowed by Four Seasons management, this ornate resort overlooking Hulopoe Bay now ranks among the state's best. The architecture combines Mediterranean and Asian elements; elaborate life-size paintings of Chinese court officials, gold brocade warrior robes, and artifacts decorate the open-air lobbies. Courtyard gardens separate two-story guest-room buildings. Ground-floor rooms are best -- opening right up onto a lawn overlooking Hulopoe Beach -- though spectacular coastline vantages are had just about anywhere on the property. Adults can indulge in Evian spritzes by the pool while keiki (children) hunt for crabs and play ukulele. Teens have their own cybercafé. At night, everyone can meet for shuffleboard and darts in Hale Ahe Ahe -- the swank game room. A state-of-the-art fitness center overlooks the sea, and an adjacent movement studio offers daily classes.
