  I'll prefix this review with the massages we received were 5/5 stars. That said, the general spa area and service I received as a man GREATLY differed from the service my wife received as a woman. Not only do they have additional amenities over the men, but even with our limited options, they also neglected to mention the men's steam room was out of service dropping it down to either a hot sauna, or going outside to the co-ed hottub and cold plunge area. Resort is beautiful, but honestly, this spa left a lot to be desired.

  What an incredible experience. Greeted from the time we stepped foot in the door, and escorted to the beautiful reflection room, the change rooms and lounge area were beautiful and clean. The staff are so friendly and very knowledgable about the culture and techniques of the services they offer and the vibe they strive for. The atmosphere was tranquil and relaxing. I found myself lounging and drifting in and out of sleep outside under a tree in the hydrotherapy garden. I could listen to the calm of the breeze and chirps of the tropical birds all day. Our massages were fantastic. The therapists that worked on us were very kind and thorough. The lounge area has lots of snacks and beverages to choose from. The steam and saunas were clean, and very relaxing. The pools and baths in the garden are perfect temperatures for a refresh and relax following your treatment. I myself work in the spa industry, and it is tough for me to find relaxation, and I was able to achieve it at Laniwai. I would 100% come back to this spa!

  Is it pricey? Yes. Is it worth every penny? YES. My husband and I booked a couples Lomi Lomi (traditional Hawaiian) 50 min massage. Slightly apprehensive with sticker shock, we stuck with the shorter, cheaper option. During and after the service, I wish I would have booked the longer service. You are getting so much more than just a massage. This is an EXPERIENCE. This spa has it all! My husband and I really enjoyed the hot jacuzzi and cold plunge combo before the treatment, as well as the sauna and steam room. The light snacks and refreshments were a nice touch, as well. You are also assigned a cast member to guide you through the experience and keep track of time for you. Time and stress don’t exist here. As someone who works in this industry, I appreciated every detail Laniwai and Disney put into the spa. The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy. The staff is professional yet warm. The 50 min massage was actually a full two hour experience. I heavily debated coming back for more services after ours was over. We even ended buying the robes they give you to wear there because they are so comfortable. Thank you to the front desk for letting us try them on and helping us pick the perfect fit. As for the actual massage, it was quite comprehensive for 50 minutes. My therapist was Jamie and she was absolutely wonderful. She made sure I was comfortable and the pressure was perfect throughout the service. I have had many massages and this one was one I will never forgot. I even joked with Jamie to come back to Ohio with me :) thank you Jamie and the entire team at Laniwai! This is now a must do for us every time we visit Oahu.

  Nail tech was great, spa services was great, I fell asleep during the massage, and steam room was excellent! I felt like I expected more for what I paid, I have gotten very similar experiences at other resorts for a lot less.

  LaniWai Spa is an excellent space for relaxation and rejuvenation. Kathryn, one of the Spa Attendants was attentive, sweet, and kind. The Lomu Lomu Massage by Kati was exquisite. I truly enjoyed my experience.
