There are actually two Four Seasons Resorts on the island of Lana'i...the Lodge at Koele, and Manele Bay. Both very different, but both high end hotels.
You're probably thinking - yeah but the Four Seasons is expensive...(yes, and sometimes worth it!) - but I have picked these as the hotel(s) of the week because both are running incredible specials right now.
At Manele Bay, the Four Seasons located closer to the beach, if you stay three nights, you can take advantage of a fourth night free. For a basic garden room, that could be just $259 a night for this upscale resort! Make sure right before you leave you call and ask for an upgrade. Most hotels want to keep their guests happy, so if they have open rooms at the last minute that they don't think they can sell, many will give free upgrades. Be sure to ask!
Every Four Seasons has a kids club, and Manele Bay has great snorkeling that kids will enjoy. It makes for a great, relaxing family vacation if a beach environment is what you are after. And look at the gorgeous golf course there...
At the Lodge, the deal is even better.
Stay two nights and you can get the third night free...room rates there could average as low as $197 when you get that third night complimentary. The Lodge at Koele has a totally different feel than Manele bay..so do your research as to which one you want to stay. Either way, you should visit the property you end up not booking...have dinner there for a change. There aren't many off site restaurants like on Maui, so it would be nice to mix up the meals between the two hotels.
Hawaii is feeling the economic pinch, so if you can, take advantage of these offers. They are good until December 2010...holiday high season.
Make sure you sign up with airlines and twitter for email alerts on special airfare to Hawaii...at the time of writing, the best fares to Lana'i still came to $650 two weeks in advance. It is a bit of a trek to get there - the most common way is to fly into Honolulu, then take an inter-island flight to Lana'i. Hawaiian Air and Island Air both fly from Honolulu to Lana'i. Add another approximately $150 per person for the round trip inter-island flight. Aren't you glad you are saving money on the hotel??
Wow..The hotel is so beautiful, I just love all the pictures an I really want to visit here very soon to spend my vacation with my girlfriend, I just love the post!
