  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.

  Absolutely the greatest spa experience of my life. Services, atmosphere, lounge areas, all were top notch. This was my wife and my first trip to Hawaii, but Laniwai will be an every-time booking for us every time we come back! Mahalo to the wonderful team at Laniwai!!

  Small, very expensive, with a surprise 20% service fee and some other additional fees. The facial was great deserving all 5 stars. Fitness belongs to Laniwai and is awesome and intense which is so rare for a resort, also deserves all 5 stars. The trainers are amazing! Coach Tyrus, Kapiolani and Patricia are excellent. Don’t miss those classes. Almost all are complementary. But back to the spa, which I generously give 1 star. The staff talks to you in whispering baby voices. I had a gift card and was doubted and warned that not all the gift cards are accepted (mine was, but the questioning was outrageous). You can only spend 1 extra hour prior to your treatment, nothing after. Then they rush you out into the craziness of hundreds of yelling children at Aulani. If you are a spa lover like me, don’t plan on hanging there all day. The facilities are ok, small, with limited stuff to do. Sauna is barely warm, there are two knee-high lukewarm pools the meaning of which I did not understand. I decided to do the eucalyptus steam room and cold plunge to make it worth the time/money. The staff is constantly following you to ask when is your treatment while you are trying to enjoy yourself. After I spent $350 for a facial and 1 hour at the spa I got one teaspoon of soaking salt, but they did make me get very excited with so much foreplay leading to receiving it. Generosity has no limits. I hope this is helpful and again, the hydra-facial treatment was amazing with lasting results. And if you are into exercising, you are covered. If you are into chilling at the spa, forget about it and save your money for a real spa. Aloha! 🌺🌈🌊
