Review of MANELE BAY HOTEL

There's not much to say other than if you are cons...

There's not much to say other than if you are considering coming to Lanai don't question it, just book it. Best vacation I've ever had in the most beautiful resort I've ever been to. The smell of the flowers and trees throughout the hotel is intoxicating. The food is all world class and you will not be disappointed. Every restaurant is incredible. Where else would you find a Nobu Teppanyaki on a remote island with only 3000 people. Make sure to eat as much local fish and local venison while you're there. The beach is absolutely gorgeous, but please beware that the break is very close to shore and if you are not a confident swimmer or you haven't swam in a wavey ocean be very careful or stick to the pools (there are two - adults only and family friendly). Also, while you're down by the beach and pool do not miss the Kona Coffee iced Mocha -- trust me it's bloody delicious. All of the staff on the island are some of the best in the world and are so kind -- special shout-out to Bruno who takes the best care of the hotels birds. He is such a good soul and loves those birds more than anything. Make sure you check out the hikes around the hotel if you're fit and able and leave early in the morning before it gets too hot. There are so many activities to do on the island and there is so much to see. You will not be disappointed.
