Staying at the Hotel Lanai
There are three hotels on Lanai. I stayed at both the Four Seasons Resort at Manele Bay and the Koele Lodge before spending two nights at the third one, the Hotel Lanai. And as much as I loved both of the Four Seasons resorts for what they offered, I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel […]
Is the Four Seasons Manele Bay Better than the Koele Lodge?
I scratched my head when I saw the U.S. News and World Report ranking for the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay, apparently only the sixth best of all of the hotels in Hawaii. I couldn’t agree with that. My stay was so much better than the sixth best in all of the Hawaiian […]

A Stay at the Travaasa Hana Hotel on Maui
Maui hotels and resorts are plentiful, but few anywhere on the Hawaiian Islands can stand up to what Travaasa Hana has to offer. I learned that fact when I enjoyed their hospitality on my recent visit to the island. My stay at Travaasa Hana was one of the best – if not the best – […]
