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 […]

It is located right across the street from the National […]

An Austin Resort Weekend with Travaasa
There are a lot of hotels in Austin, Texas. I will not stay at another hotel or resort in Austin other than Travaasa, though. After spending a weekend there, exploring all aspects of the resort and spa in the hills outside of town, I am convinced there is not a better place to stay for […]
