Four Seasons Resort Lanai

A place to unwind and relax! Enjoy good food, music and an enjoyable environment for everyone! The staff greeted you with lots of aloha and friendly smile! Waking up to a waterfall when I opened my sliding door was priceless.

My fantasy Hawaii vacation is a lavish, tropical paradise... and that is exactly what we found at Four Seasons Lana'i. The grounds are incredibly lush and gorgeous, with beautiful ocean views, koi ponds, and meandering paths. Our room was large, luxurious, and so comfortable... we wanted for nothing. Dining options are fantastic; each and every meal was great. We felt like we were able to get away from it all -- appropriately so, since it's a flight + drive that, while not awful, involves a bit of a commitment. Well, mostly get away from it all... there were kids everywhere. I guess I was surprised, due to the remote location (then again, we did visit in early August). Should you choose to stay here; visiting the other Four Seasons resort on Lana'i -- Sensei -- is a must (if only for a meal). We went for dinner, and it was as if we had been transported to another world. It was cool, rainy, foggy, mystical... and so, so beautiful. Incredible to me that a small island like Lana'i could be so climatologically diverse. We've been fortunate to visit a number of Four Seasons hotels and resorts.. this may just be our favorite.

Poor guest experiences can happen but the response can really show how a property can recover from initial missteps. We arrived after check in time but our rooms were not ready. We were given a credit and we were able to have a late lunch - however after lunch our room was still not ready. We were given a time frame - and yes, our rooms were ready within that time frame and our bags were in our room by the time we were walked over to our room. I would say that FS did almost everything they could to make up for the experience. Someone from guest services checked in on us from time to time, there were apologies and a lovely round of drinks from one of the restaurants. The vacation started off on the wrong foot but I feel that the resort did so much to make up for that misstep. We had a great welcome amenity as we were celebrating birthdays - a cake, cheese platter and a bottle of champagne - which really added to the welcome. This resort is gorgeous. Stunning. I feel like I’m walking amongst the treetops as I go from the room to the main building. The pools are beautiful and the landscape for the pool is amazing. We’ve stayed at a number of FS properties and this has to be one of the most beautiful ones out there - until I visited the sister property Sensei. Both compliment each other. One is this lush tropical paradise and the other has so much elegant restraint. Food is more traditional at the beach resort - Sensei focuses on health and wellness so the taste was not quite what I was expecting. These two properties have to be among the most beautiful, welcoming, and warm resorts. The staff is amazing at talking about local wildlife and the island itself - they speak about everything in such a natural offhand manner instead of sounding like they’re reciting from a script. Hospitality in all restaurants was wonderful - the servers were always able to guide choices and describe the food and drinks and talk about other guest experiences. I feel like Lāna’i doesn’t get the same flash and fanfare that Oahu or Maui get - and that’s fine. I’d hate for it to get overcrowded with tourists and change the pace of a vacation here. But Four Seasons should be given a lot of recognition to the level of hospitality it brings every day.

Perfect stay from start to finish. Service was exceptional. Beautiful property with excellent food. Also did the sunset cruise which was incredible.

Our stay at Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi exceeded every expectation we had and became one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. We were able to take advantage of the kamaaina rate. The Four Seasons handled so many of the logistics that the experience was completely stress-free. Our flights from Oahu were arranged, and it was a private chartered Cessna flight —that experience alone was unforgettable. Also, have the rental Jeep ready for us made exploring the island and visiting secluded beaches worry-free and incredibly convenient. This was incredibly advantageous, and luxurious! **Walter and Tara were amazing staff members who we connected with for booking and all questions prior to our arrival. They were competent, courteous and always available and willing to assist. Thank You Walter & Tara!! For us, one of the highlights was exploring the incredible gardens at both the Beach Resort and Sensei Lānaʻi. They are absolutely stunning and beautifully maintained, making it feel like you’re walking through a botanical paradise everywhere you go. We were fortunate to interact with the Four Seasons team at the horse ranch at the Sensei property, where we met Grace. She immediately made us feel genuinely welcome with her warmth, knowledge, and kindness. It was obvious how much she cared about the horses, and we were so impressed by how well loved and exceptionally cared for all of the animals are. The stables, and paddocks are superb!! Upon our arrival at the Beach Resort, every single employee we encountered treated us like a longtime friend rather than just another guest. The level of hospitality is unlike anything we’ve experienced. The staff somehow anticipates your needs before you even realize you have them, making every moment feel effortless and relaxing. **Thank You to Anny at reception for your kindness and genuine care about our celebratory trip! Your professionalism, competence and genuine demeanor is an asset to the reception team! The resort itself is breathtaking—modern and luxurious while still embracing the authentic beauty and spirit of the islands. Every detail feels intentional without losing the charm of Hawaiʻi. Reservations were made for us at Nobu, and this was another highlight. The food was exception, and the waitstaff made the evening feel truly special. The flavors and presentation was truly remarkable. It was definitely one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was seamless and far beyond anything we imagined. We left Lānaʻi already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you to everyone at Four Seasons for your genuine hospitality, attention to detail, and for creating such a unique and unforgettable experience. We cannot wait to return. Mahalo & a hui hou!
