Luxurious rustic ambience, beautiful grounds, cool highlands location.
I was about to visit Lanai's two luxury resorts for the first time since Four Seasons came aboard and gave each a $50-million renovation, and I hoped they hadn't changed.
They hadn't. Much.
Oh, they have fancier names. The Manele Bay Hotel is now the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay. Its sister hotel, the Lodge at Koele, is now the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, the Lodge at Koele. What's in a name? The Four Seasons imprint is evident at both properties, but is, for the most part, subtle.
"We've kept the heart and soul" of the lodge, said the resorts' general manager, Mark Hellrung. "People said, 'Oh, please don't turn it into Four Seasons Maui.'"
They haven't.
