Know Before You Go: Four Seasons Resort Hualalai (Hawaii)
After a disappointing stay at another property on the island, we chose to spend the last day of our family celebration trip at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. The brand promise was realized from the moment of our arrival, where the welcome was personalized, warm, and attentive, and threaded through every service touch from there on out. While our time at Hualalai was brief, it was also incredibly sweet, and we left eager to return soon for a much longer stay.

Good to Know
The base rooms here are a little tricky for families with more than 1 child — contact the resort directly (or via your travel advisor) to figure out the best room configuration for your travel party
Resort guests can access the spa facilities without an appointment, complimentary
The property has an onsite 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course and many of the rooms are directly on the course
The surf here can be a little rough — if your dream of coming to Hawaii is to swim in the ocean, this might not be the best location
