Rachel was an amazing server. She was friendly and attentive… and from our home state of Washington! The musician also did a fabulous job! We enjoyed all of the music he played. Finally… we came during happy hour and loved the HH prices as well as the food… pork pizza, wings and of course the mai tais!

The breakfast buffet was excellent - super high quality with extensive fresh ingredients. The service, as always at any Four Seasons, was friendly and near perfect. The view and Hawaiian trade breezes made for the most picturesquely relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended.
