As we come from a small SE Alaskan community we found Lanai to be a good fit. The small plane ride from Honolulu reminded us of home. The bus service seemed overpriced at first but we used it a lot and proved to be fair, one driver even made a detour for us to catch the ferry to Maui one... More

Lanai is a small Island about 20 miles by 15miles. The hotel is situated in Lanai City the only settlement on the island with about 2000 inhabitants, on high ground overlooking the centre where there are small shops and a supermarket. The hotel is traditional wooden built, the rooms are of average size with a small shower room. The rooms... More

We LOVE Hawaii. We spent 3 nights here. Our flight from Oahu came into Lanai early in the evening. You have to pay an outragious amount to get to ANY of the 3 hotels on Lanai....and it's only about an 8-10 minute ride. Talk about price gauging. From the outside, it looks very charming...just like you see on the web.... More

We stayed a couple of nights at the Hotel Lanai in January. We also booked a jeep through the hotel. First off, we must have had the worse jeep from Dollar. It was rusty, very old, dirty, couldn't open the passenger door and the wipers were not working properly. At first. we put up with it but decided that we... More

We stayed at Hotel Lanai for 3 days and enjoyed our stay. The service was great, very friendly and helpful. Sarah is fantastic, she went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. The room was quite small and noisy, the walls are very thin so you can hear everything that is going on in the place. The adjoining... More

Nice rooms. No TVs - TVs would be a plus since the evenings are quiet on the town and everything closes early. Rooms have thin walls. Extremely loud in the evenings and mornings. Great food at their restaurant. I recommend the ribs and meatloaf! Breakfast was included. It was simple yet tasty. My biggest complaint: the hotel overbooked our room... More

In addition to ten "regular" rooms, the Hotel Lana has a cottage separated from the main building. It is a wonderful accommodation choice -- a living room, bedroom, and bathroom (with bathtub). It provides a reasonable amount of space, is quiet because there are no shared walls, and is an ideal space if one wants to stay in Lanai City... More

First of all I would consider twice going to Lanai. It is a very distant place with not so much to do and see. BUT it was quite of an experience I would say. Hotel Lanai is in the middle of the island and I think that the best thing in the hotel was a chance to be able to... More

On Lanai, your options are to a) stay at one of the two Castle & Cooke resorts, b) stay at Hotel Lanai, or c) stay with family/friends. The resorts (The Lodge at Koele and The Manele Bay) are absolutely wonderful. But, as my partner said when we were talking about our options, "Why would I come to one of the... More
