Big Island Getaway with Four Seasons

Last month, I had an opportunity to visit the Big Island with Four Seasons! I’ve only been to Oahu and Maui before this trio, so I was excited to see what the Big Island was like! Located along the Kona-Kohala coast of Hawaii Island, the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai is truly a site to see. It is a whopping 32-acre property with stunning ocean views, luxurious amenities, and top-notch service. Keep scrolling to read about my experience and why you should check it out for yourself!

REASONS WHY I LOVED MY STAY: 

LOCATION – After about 6 hours of travel from Los Angeles, we arrived to the Big Island. It only took us about 10 minutes or so to arrive at the hotel from the airport, which made it very convenient. We were greeted promptly as we arrived to the property, and check-in was such a breeze! 

ROOMS - I stayed in one of the ocean view guest rooms, and I have to say that I absolutely loved it! The sunrise over the ocean was the best thing to wake up to! It was so beautiful. My room was also complete with warm furnishings that immediately felt homey, and a spacious balcony I really enjoyed. The room service and cleaning service was exceptional as they were very prompt with any assistance or requests I have. 

SPECIAL SUITES - Our first night, we checked out the Dom Perignon suite, it’s the only one in the US and one of their special suites on their property! We popped a bottle as the sun was setting and we even got a few snaps of it. It was the best way to start off our trip and Its definitely worth checking out for yourself. SPA

DINING - Our first meal was at ULU Ocean Grill and we had the best seafood hands down. Looking back at our meal, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I love seafood, and also anything grilled, so this restaurant just screams my name. if you love seafood, you definitely have to check them out. Heck, even if you don’t love seafood, this place will change your mind! All their seafood tasted so fresh, and each dish had so much flavor, you’d want to keep coming back for more.

CULINARY EXPERIENCE – we were blessed to experience a dinner under the stars, as well as a chef’s table dinner by chef Thomas Bellec. Our dinner under the stars was magical to say the least. It was the most intimate, romantic set-up by the beach, with a live performance. It was something i’ve never experienced before, and I definitely recommend for couples out there. The chef’s table dinner was exceptional. A very well-thought out menu to excite your taste buds. This is something a recommend for larger parties of 4 or more! 

AMENITIES – there are plenty of activities to choose from! There’s a total of 7 pools at the property, a fitness center, on-site water activities, on-site boutiques, and even kid’s amenities to enjoy.

SPA – there is also a spa and salon on-site for everyone to enjoy! I booked a lomi-lomi massage in an outdoor private room that even included its own shower. I loved hearing the breeze as I enjoyed my massage and felt so relaxed after my appointment.
