If you prefer a pool setting, then you can choose from one of three pools ~ the main pool, kids pool and my personal favorite, the adult Serenity pool. The Four Seasons will set up chairs and an umbrella for you on the beach and they do provide drink and food service throughout the day. The snorkeling is as good here as anywhere on the island and it is common to see large Sea Turtles swimming around along with many other sea life. Wailea Beach is a nice, large stretch of clean sand. The Prime Ocean View category rooms will get you the best views as they are located at the ends closest to the water and on the higher levels. The remaining rooms are located on the sides of the building facing the water to one side or another. The ones that do are either the suites, or the rooms that are most inward. Something to know is that this resort is built in a horseshoe shape and because of this, very few rooms have straightforward ocean views. A very nice feature are the large, marble bathrooms with dual sinks, soaking tub and separate shower. The rooms at this resort are simplistically classic in decor and spacious. I actually enjoy grabbing a casual dinner here as well, but there are three on-property restaurants for your dining pleasure, Spago, Ferraro’s Bar E Ristorante, and Duo Steak and Seafood. The hub of the activity centers around the Lobby Bar and a must is to have a sunset drink while munching on their delicious (and addictive) house made fruit and nut mix. The public spaces of the resort are designed to be open and airy creating that indoor/outdoor living concept. The grounds at the Four Seasons are lush with plantings of large banana trees, hibiscus flowers and other indigenous plants that give the resort a very tropical feel. It was named one of the top 10 spas in the United States by Conde Nast and its exclusive Terme Hydrotherapy Water Circuit is not to be missed. I will say though, that even if you are staying at the Four Seasons, I do recommend walking next door and checking out the Grand Wailea Spa. The Four Seasons is also a very family-friendly resort but is a much more intimate setting, which I personally prefer. The Grand Wailea Resort is a huge luxury resort and is an extremely active property with a lot of families. The Four Seasons Maui is a medium size property situated on Wailea Beach in a cove setting and shares the beach with the Grand Wailea Resort. It is approximately a 30 minute drive to the more touristy area of Lahaina and Ka’anapali which hosts the majority of hotels, shops and restaurants on the island. Wailea is a beautiful and upscale location on the island and many of the high-end hotels are located here.
