We had a wonderful time in Maui. The weather was perfect.We never saw a drop of rain.We had planned to stay at the Four Seasons for 5 days and then move to another location for the final 4. Well, we never moved. The hotel was fabulous. The staff was amazing.When we went to the front desk and told them that we would like to stay for an additional 4 days they told us that a family needed our room as part of a suite. They asked if we would be willing to have them move us into another room. We agreed and they gave us an upgrade to an oceanfront room.What a beautiful view!
One night they had a meet the manager party.We spent some time with the housekeeping manager. He asked us if there was anything that we didn't like about the hotel. I said that we were disappointed not to find a candy on our pillow at night.That night when we got up to our room there was a bottle of wine chilling and a tray of chocolate covered strawberries.
We used to be happy on a Windjammer cruise, at a Motel 6 or camping and sleeping on the ground.Now it has to be a Regent cruise or Four Seasons.My have we been spoiled.Being pampered while relaxing around the pool was really something.They kept us cool by bringing around scented towels and ice water. What a life!

Bette, your Maui Four Seasons' experience sounds fab-u-lous! You described it beautifully, right down to the scented towels & ice water by the pool! The housekeeping manager sure had a nice touch in surprising you with the chilling wine & chocolate covered strawberries. How nice to make up for the lack of pillow candies.
We stayed there several years ago & loved it then. It's so lovely there, I don't think I would leave the complex if I ever get back. It sounds like it has gotten even better. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I know what you mean when you said you used to be happy with camping, etc., etc. Sure sounds familiar!

One of our favorite hotels ever! BUT -- no spritz with Evian while on the beach?? We thought that was the height of decadence!!! And we also thought that the soaker-hoses embeded in the sand ( so that one didn't burn one's tootsies while walking back up to the hotel) were a brilliant touch.

I so envy your upgrade to an oceanfront room. We gazed at them longingly when we were there.

I can certainly understand why you chose to stay, and also empathize with the upgrade in what's 'acceptable'. My attitude now is that 'roughing it' is a hotel without a concierge ...

Bette - glad you liked it! I've never stayed at the Four Seasons Wailea but I've visited it often enough and I loved my experience at the Four Seasons Hualalai on the Big Island that I can just imagine your experience!

So glad you had a great time at the Four Seasons Wailea. What service...and you got an upgrade! After our staying at Hualalai, I can honestly say that it's my favorite hotel.

Bette,

So happy to hear that you and Marty had a wonderful time in Maui. The Four Seasons Wailea is spectacular.

Alan and I have been to Maui (and Kauai) twice; the last time in celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary. Would love to go back again, if it were not for so many other places we've yet to visit.

Any photos you can share with us?

Bette and Marty glad you had a lovely time and Wow, lucky you two on getting the upgrade to an oceanfront room! :)

Pics would be an added benefit for those of us who have never been there! ;)

Thanks for telling us about your trip, Bette. Sounds like you and Marty had a great time. The housekeeping manager sure knew his/her stuff - chocolate covered strawberries with wine - wow!

Maui has a special place in my heart because Alan and I were married at Hanna Ranch. We've stayed near Wailea on another trip. Maybe some day the Four Seasons Wailea.

What a great get-away for the two of you. Glad you had fun.

Bette,
I'm so glad you enjoyed your Maui trip. It sounds heavenly. Thanks for telling us about it!

Thanks Bette for sharing your paradise story -

Sorry but we have no pictures.
We gave up on pictures a few years ago when we lost most of ours in a flood in our house.Now we don't even take a camera with us.

That is fine - YOU have memories
