Wonderful stay at a property that truly makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Flying into Lanai and then the drive to the hotel with the 4 seasons tree lined up, makes you feel you are entering a haven. Although there is lot of construction happening, it never interfered with our stay. The rooms have been upgraded tastefully and have all the necessary amenities. They also provide you with Yeti bottles to ensure you are not using one time use bottles. The beach had strong waves but the service at the beach is great with hotel providing chairs, towels and food even though it is a walk from the resort. The family pool is on the smaller side and so we didn't end up using it much. Service at the hotel is exceptional with staff going out of their way to make sure all our asks were addressed. We did the snorkeling tour and the trip on the catamaran was a highlight. It was luxurious and the staff on the boat took us to an amazing spot where we saw great sea life. Overall this was certainly a memorable trip and I look forward to coming back in the future.

Nothing is better than Lanai Four Seasons. If you are looking for pure luxury and beauty and away from it all than this is the place. Not my first time and for sure not my last. The hotel is amazing on every way the setting and the beautiful trees and flowers. And how you feel like you are the only person there because of the way the hotel is set up. The rooms are amazing best beds ever and the gym is gorgeous. Great beach and full service at the beach. The staff is so personable and on point makes you never want to leave. I cannot say enough great things about the Manele Bay location and the Sensei resort up in Lanai City. A shuttle ride away

I don’t think a cooler, more extraordinary place on earth exists. Lanai feels like Hawaii 100 years ago — wild, raw, and breathtakingly authentic. It’s seemingly a vision of Larry Ellison’s personal playground (he owns nearly the entire island), but instead of being flashy, it’s a seamless blend of cowboy, wilderness adventure, and pristine mountain and beach escapes. The Four Seasons Lanai Beach Resort deserves six stars. Imagine a hotel carved from a single piece of mahogany — that’s the level of craftsmanship and beauty. The service is unmatched, with managers constantly checking in, and the sense of intimacy is unlike anywhere else in Hawaii. I wish I could remember everyone’s names, but there were more staff than I can count that made the experience extraordinary. And shout out to Uncle Bruno, a poolside fixture weaving palms into figurines and weaving core memories for every guest by the pool. Every day, the resort offers excursions designed to get you out into the island: hiking, horseback riding, ropes courses, shooting, sailing, and world-class snorkeling right off the beach in what feels like your own private lagoon. It’s the closest thing to a deserted island experience, yet with ultimate luxury. Lanai actually has two Four Seasons: the beachfront paradise and the adults-only mountain retreat. We stayed at the beach resort but dined at the Lanai City Bar & Grill — easily one of the best meals of our entire trip. Think Michelin-quality Hawaiian comfort food under soaring pine trees, live reggae, and zero pretension. The resort’s Nobu and Malibu Farm are excellent too, and looks like a new Italian restaurant is on the way. Yes, there’s some minor construction, but it’s camouflaged so beautifully that you’d barely notice. Every detail, down to the Japanese toilets, is impeccable. We met frequent fliers and Hawaii veterans who swear by Hualalai for families — and we agree, it’s amazing — but Lanai is beyond special. Fewer kids (especially once school is back), lots of couples and honeymooners, and an unshakable sense that you’ve discovered something truly unique. But plenty to do for a family. I’d put the two resorts at a tie in terms of experience, but Lanai is like stepping into jewelry box washed up on the most naturally beautiful land mass, untouched. We are counting down the days until we have the opportunity to return. If you want to see Hawaii at its most authentic, adventurous, and luxurious all at once, Lanai is it.

We came here for our babymoon and brought our 2 year old with us and had an amazing time. We live in Southern California so Hawaii is pretty easy for us to get to, but we were looking for a unique experience away from the busy vibes of other islands. WOW! We were blown away by our experience at the Four Seasons Lanai and can’t wait to come back! We booked through AMEX but were able to enjoy everything as if we booked directly. From the complimentary transfer via Lanai Air and airport shuttle pickup to the resort, we felt so relaxed and welcomed. Our son was spoiled the whole week we were there - he loved the stuffed parrot and crib they left for him, along with the bath amenities, kids robe and sponges by the bathtub spelling his name! We were very appreciative of the diaper genie and daily housekeeping, complementary laundry and turndown service. The bedding was so luxurious and we felt that our partial ocean view room was perfect for our family. Each morning we’d stop by the front desk and grab some fish food to feed the koi on our way back to our room. Our son also loved becoming friends with the 6 parrots throughout the resort. Each morning they’d greet him with an “Aloha” and he loved it! We were there the week before the Fourth of July and our son was the only toddler there for the majority of the time, it was mostly honeymooners. We’ve been told around Christmas there are a lot more kids, but we enjoyed the peace! I enjoyed my Mother of Pearl prenatal massage in the spa - hands down best massage I’ve ever had! My husband loved going to the Adventure Park during naptime and even got to do a Snorkel Sail one morning which he thoroughly enjoyed and said it was some of the best snorkeling of his life. The food throughout the resort was phenomenal - the French Toast was a favorite at breakfast!! We were able to book a nanny (the resort staff helped us find the right agency) so we could go to dinner at Nobu kid free one night and also go to the Observatory on property. It was a nice treat to have our son be able to eat free the entire time we were there. The pools were nice and while the beach was a bit rough, we enjoyed laying out and playing in the sand. We stayed for 6 days/5 nights and felt like it was the perfect amount of time. The staff was so friendly and welcomed us by name each time they saw us as well. They went out of their way to make sure we were always comfortable. Can’t wait to go back!

This was one of the best hotels I have ever been to. The beach was surreal with the kindest beach and pool staff imaginable. The employees were polite, welcoming and understanding. In the room we got surprises every evening, the perfect end to a beach day. I would 100% visit again.

Phenomenal and unique in its own way. The staff was first-rate, whether setting up tee times at the world-class golf courses or providing information about the many tours available. The most memorable experience of the trip was swimming in Manele bay and suddenly finding ourselves surrounded by 60-80 spinner dolphins. That is an experience that will last a lifetime.
