When to Go to Hawaii to

If you are like most of Hawaii's visitors you are escaping winter from december to April.  March is packed with families enjoying spring break. Obviously when prices are higher and competition for services are at their peak. You will need to book early at this time to secure anything at all. 

If luxury allows travel in the spring and fall outside the peak season but when the weather is good.  Summer brings mildly higher prices again.

About four inches of rain falls in December and January while June, July and August are the driest with about half an inch falling. 

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu

This resort has made a solid stance as the top 5 star Hawaii resort and was recently the only Hawaii Luxury Resort to make TripAdvisors Travelers choice awards for the best resorts in the United States.

Located in Ka'upulehu and 10 minutes from the airport. The resort sits in a prime location along the Kona-Kohala Coast on its own beach.

Rooms and suites are large, decorated in a Polynesian style and have furnished lanais.

Part of the experience are the stylish beachfront restaurants and lounges. With a magnificent Jack Nicklaus pro golf course which hugs the shore, a full service spa, tennis courts and great children's and adult only pools, you will find more than enough to keep you occupied.

5 Star Hawaii Resort Rooms

You'll find a black lava pool, a white-sand beach and many activities like rock climbing. Perhaps the best reason to consider this particular four seasons is the enthusiasm expressed by previous guests. 

We found the guests really appreciated the quality of the experience putting it in the top percentiles of resorts worldwide in terms of satisfaction ratings.

While the beach doesn't receive quite the same levels of excitement, all in all the resort is the standout 5 star resort in Hawaii. Here, things like picking up bar tabs on special occasions and careful attention to detail are more the norm than the exception.

Vlogger Review

The video "4 of the Best Luxury Hotels on Oahu, Hawaii | Where to Stay in Honolulu" by The Hawaii Vacation Guide discusses four top-rated luxury resorts on Oahu Island, highlighting their amenities, services, and location.

1. Turtle Bay: Located on the North Shore of Oahu, Turtle Bay is known for its big wave surfing, especially during winter. The resort offers complimentary umbrellas and chairs on the beach for guests. Following an extensive remodel, the resort now features a fresh, open, and airy ambiance, with a surfer-chic theme. Accommodations range from standard rooms to oceanfront bungalows, all with stunning ocean views. The resort also boasts a great kids pool, hot tub area, and a nice infinity pool for adults.
2. Halekulani: Meaning "house befitting heaven", Halekulani offers a quiet oasis right in the heart of Waikiki. The hotel began in 1917 as small beach bungalows but underwent a significant renovation in 2020. It is famous for its excellent service and two high-end restaurants - La Mer and House Without a Key. 
3. Kahala Resort: Located just outside of Waikiki, Kahala Resort is renowned for its intimate, serene environment. Many celebrities choose to stay here for its tranquility. The resort offers a variety of activities, including lei-making workshops, fitness classes, snorkeling, and more. It is also committed to reforestation projects on the island, and guests can donate to help replant trees.

Four Seasons Oahu offers various fun activities for kids, including a day camp and a touch tank where children can experience marine life.

Lahaina Maui Hawaii Five Star Resorts

The much smaller, 50 room Montage at Kapalua Bay is currently the outstanding 5 star Hawaii resort at Lahaina and apart from the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea is the best on the island. See Maui Luxury Resorts in that area. 

Montage Kapalua Bay

Montage is both family friendly with a sizable children pool and club services and good for a romantic retreat complete with full service spa, poolside bars.

This is not your typical  5-star resort and rooms come condominium style complete with kitchens with stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, washers and coffee machines.

The resort has improved further since reopening in 2014 following extensive remodeling which completely shut it down for a period. Today it is receiving some of the most outstanding reviews in Hawaiii.

Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows

Located on a beautiful Big Island beachfront property on the Kohola Coast complete with hammocks and private cabanas.

While not an official 5 star Hawaii resort, the quality of service and facilities could easily make up the difference. This is a 4.5 star resort but we found was better than many five star resorts worldwide where guests also report almost Kapalua Bay exclusively excellent reviews.

Mauna Lani Bay

Highlights include white sand beaches, tropical fish and small shark ponds, championship golf, the Mauna Lani Spa, water sports, a children's day camp and an oceanview pool. You may also like to take in the Kalahuiupua'a fishponds or golf.

Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows

The guestrooms each have furnished lanais and teakwood furniture. There are also the Villages at Mauna Lani. A gated community as part of the Mauna Lani Resort.

Latest review, more information, and special offers  on Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows.

Halekulani 5 Star Hawaii Resort

This famous resort is set on a site of historical significance on even more famous Waikiki Beach. The area is of great importance in Hawaiian culture and it's name means "house befitting heaven"

To give you a little idea of the vibe, the restaurant staff seem to have developed the ability to infuse a delightful ambiance and meals are done in the Neoclassical French tradition at La Mer. 

The five star resort does well to maintain its high standard given that there are over 450 classy yet earthy style rooms with natural fabrics.

Much is said about the legacy of the resort and its former home of Hawaiian royalty. There is even a Legacy Tour taken weekly to learn more about the history involved.  We personally find that this legacy has continued and Halekulani certainly deserves a spot as one of the best five star resorts in Hawaii, but perhaps not the best.

In any case the experience remains more than exceptional and the fine tradition of impeccable service and attention to detail will without doubt continue into the future.
