Let me tell you about the most incredible experience I've ever had at a resort. The summary/TLDR: Stop thinking and book this stay, you will be blown away. I cannot describe how special our visit to The Four Seasons, Hualalai was. I had booked our stay with the intention to propose to my longtime girlfriend and everything was pointing to this being the perfect property for that special occasion. I came in hopeful and, frankly, with high expectations. This experience absolutely exceeded those expectations in ways I couldn't believe. From the very first seconds at the resort, the entire staff felt like they'd known us for years. Addressing us by name, striking up conversation about our trip, and so much more. They were able to award us an upgrade for our very special occasion as well! The way the staff made US feel like we were the ONLY one’s celebrating a special occasion (when we were keenly aware that dozens of other guests were also celebrating their own occasions) was profound. The room was as stunning as could be. We could tell every little detail was considered when designing the space. The outdoor shower space was so unique and luxurious. Just an unbelievable job designing these rooms. The RESORT! I’ve never seen such a beautifully manicured tropical oasis that is the Four Seasons, Hualalai. There is beauty in every direction, with intentional connection to Hawaiian heritage and culture. The structure of the resort, with its 4 unique pools, is brilliant. It gave a sense of privacy to each section of the resort. Additionally, the staff on and around the grounds were so welcoming. The Spa, just downright incredible. We had a wonderful couples massage and enjoyed the reflection garden. The best part was that the spa facilities were open to us to use at any point during the stay! As an avid golfer, I was very much anticipating my round at Hualalai golf club. Again, even with high expectations, the experience proved to be better than I could’ve imagined. The course was in incredible shape. I spent hours enjoying the practice area alone! Everything from the new ProV1’s to the trackman technology to the wet towels for clubs… golf heaven! Most importantly, I came away from my experience at Four Seasons Hualalai with a new Fiancée, but I also came away with a profound sense of appreciation, joy, and gratefulness. Nothing stood out more than PEOPLE who make this place so special. We can't wait to return.

From the time we stepped foot onto the property and from the time we left, it was the best trip we have ever had. Friendly service and excellent food. The room was fantastic. Overall, the best.

Top notch head to toe, service, amenities, food was all amazing. This was our first trip to Hawaii and staying at the resort exceeded our expectations.

This Four Seasons resort has it all. Beautifully positioned on beach. Great restaurant views and food! Health club and classes are top notch plus a really good golf course. 10/10 overall. Close to airport We really loved and will be back.

Do not book this hotel if you’re looking for exceptional service and accommodations. If you’re reading this review, you know that this hotel is exorbitantly priced. Many people, like me, expect exceptional cost to come with exceptional service and accommodations. Nothing was exceptional about the Four Seasons Hualalai. The room was nice, but turn down was inconsistent (we did not get it at all one day of our stay) and there were bugs in the room. Additionally, you get no say in what room you are assigned once you arrive at the resort. We selected a beachfront room and were assigned a room with no outdoor shower, which is a feature heavily advertised on the website. Our room was also at the edge of the resort (which is spread across nearly a mile) and had to walk a long way to get to any resort amenities. The beach is also filled with volcanic rock. While it looks interesting, the rock made the beach nearly unusable. The restaurants have good food, but they are equally as expensive as everything else on the property. My wife and I spent between $200 and $300 on all of our meals for just the two of us, and we mostly ate at the “casual” restaurant, Beach Tree. The resort is far away from anything else on the island, so it is not convenient to go off property for meals or entertainment. The pools were nice with attentive waitstaff, but the kings pond (the one with the fish) is not worth going in. Unless you get there very early in the day, the water is too murky to see anything. Finally, do not expect anything from the hotel if you’re celebrating an event. We went for an anniversary trip, and the hotel gave us a $15 dollar of Prosecco to celebrate. That was nice, but a cheap bottle of champagne does not come close to justifying the cost of the resort. We told the resort restaurants multiple times that it was our anniversary, and they didn’t do anything to recognize that. To sum it up, in my opinion, you should stay at a different hotel that is more conveniently located on the Kona coast. There are many other options with similar amenities that are better located and not nearly as expensive. You will get much better bang for your buck somewhere else.
