The posh Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua reopened earlier this year after an $180-million renovation that incorporates a Hawaiian sense of place into the stylish West Maui resort.
Among the changes are an increased emphasis on local culture, with native Hawaiian artwork and a lava stone bar. Guest rooms have new furnishings and updated features, including flat-screen TVs, DVD players, iPod docking stations and wireless Internet access.
In the public areas, five restaurants have been redesigned, a children's pool has been added, and a fitness center, with views of the Pacific, is now open. In June, a 17,500-square-foot spa is scheduled to open.
