In contrast to the hotel-style Westin (see below), this elegant condo complex is so enormous it has two separate lobbies. The 26 acres fronting serene Kahekili Beach function as a small town, with two grocery stores, three pools (yes, that’s a life-size pirate ship in the kids’ pool), three restaurants (hit the sports bar Pailolo Bar & Grill during a game), a Hawaiian cultural advisor, the luxurious Spa Helani (the 80-min. Polynesian ritual is unforgettable), and a high-energy gym with its own steam rooms, saunas, and lockers. Managed by Westin, the individually owned units (from studios to two-bedrooms) are outfitted with Westin's trademark Heavenly beds, huge soaking tubs with jets, and upscale kitchens. Despite its seemingly massive footprint, the resort has accrued awards for its eco-friendly practices. One fun example: On July 4th, the resort ditches the usual fireworks display (which spreads ash on the fragile coral reefs) and opts instead to celebrate with “flower-works,” dropping 60,000 orchids on the property. The lucky guest who finds the rose amid the orchids gets a free spa treatment or snorkel cruise. Tip: Ask for some leeway with the 4pm check-in and 10am checkout times.
