This post isn't really about the activities that took place on our honeymoon (I'll get to that later); its about the resort itself. Seeing as this is a blog about design I wanted to share my thoughts on the decor at The Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea.

The day after our wedding we were whisked away to a week of relaxation on the island of Maui. It was a total and complete dream. The service was impeccable. The food was absolutely to die for and the 5 pounds I gained was a testament to that. It was a beautiful resort with breath-taking views complimented by furnishings that were tropical yet upscale. I was most impressed by the gardens and lawns; they were meticulously kept to the point where the grass and flowers did not even look real!

My favorite spot at the resort was definitely the Serenity Pool (photos below). It was so relaxing to hear the bubbling of the water in the hot tubs while laying out and enjoying paradise. The attendants would come around periodically to refill your water, provide you with treats like fresh pineapple or an Otter Pop, spray you with a cooling mist and give you cucumbers and a cold washcloth to place on your eyes. Like I said, the service was impeccable! I also thought the Missoni cabana (photo above) was so chic. We obviously did not want to pay the $1000 a day to sit in it though!

 I would say the only disappointing part about the resort stylistically was the bedrooms. It was only OK. Here are the best pictures I have of it (below). I must say that the bathroom was INCREDIBLE though. It was huge and absolutely covered in Marble (my favorite stone). It was excellently functional too. I really enjoyed getting ready there every day.

I LOVED this resort. The Hotel and Spa are gorgeous and you can't beat the location. I would definitely recommend staying here for your next trip to the Hawaiian Islands!.
