Physically beautiful resort in a beautiful setting, FSL has some really magical aspects. A private-plane flight from Honolulu in Lana'i Air is very special- some snacks and coffee and comfy couches upstairs are great. The ride form the airport down the hill to the resort in a FS coach or Tesla is comfortable and swift. The FS lobby is big and beautiful- full of luxury touches plus indigenous artefacts to combine two worlds. The lobby and main buildings look and feel rock-solid, which adds to the sensation of luxury. Even the cheapest rooms are fabulous- great big soft bed with a thousand pillows, great TV and beautiful bathroom with a computerised, warm toilet. Yes, you read that right. Daily room service is super-prompt if you hit the right button when you leave for brekky or to catch a wave. Food options are good not perfect- a couple of stunning high-quality joints and a couple moderate down market. But nowhere is cheap! A (free) ride up to town for a meal at the Bar'n'Grill is worthwhile, but don't expect a cheap meal! The Nobu and Mozza signature restaurants are very high-class, but not what I want EVERY night :) Friendly service is ubiquitous at FSL, and a lovely touch when most staff remember your names. Plenty of activities can fill your day- pistol or clay shooting, archery, cruising on the resort catamarans, hiking up-mountain (wonderfully cool up-top, great contrast to the beach), snorkelling, and more. We did all this on our visits, but never went a day with out a few dips in and out of the hottub, interspersed with a fall into one of the beautifully-landscaped pools. Beach water is clear as a bell and warm as toast- no gasping as you run in! Just a joy to splash around in. Surf can be dumpy and dangerous- be careful! Incredibly, I think the resort is actually quite a lot better than it appears on the website :) Overall the finest resort I have stayed at, and I would happily return again. It is very expensive, and many of the activities have a (big) surcharge. So save those pennies and mark it in your calendar!!
