Concierge.com's insider take:
The Four Seasons Maui is like a second home for the celebrity A-list crowd (Maui is an easy hop from L.A.). Perhaps inspired by the rave reviews of its sister properties on Lanai, the Wailea resort received a $50 million face-lift in 2007 that replaced the luxurious but grandmotherly decor in the 370 rooms and freshened the public spaces. The updated guest rooms combine the best of traditional Four Seasons—European luxury bedding and spacious marble baths—with energizing textiles in the reds, blues, and greens of the Hawaiian landscape. The idea was to create more harmony between the stunning beach views (available in 80 percent of the rooms) and the inner sanctum, now with HDTV and wireless. Of course, the pool area—with its cutthroat jockeying for first-come, first-served cabanas—is even more of a see-and-be-seen spot, with new plush lounge beds and towels. Spago is still fun for cocktails, but there's also the newer Duo restaurant, which serves a combo of aged steaks and fresh local seafood. And while the spa is less renowned than the one at the Waldorf-Astoria Grand Wailea next door, we think it's the best in Wailea because of the quality and diversity of treatments. The quality of service was never in question, yet that's improved as well. When you are a guest here, this is definitely a place where everybody on staff knows who you are.
