The Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed golf course and 9 on-site tennis courts round out the outdoor recreation options.

Nightly turn-down service, complimentary laundry services, and a built-in entertainment centre with flat-screen TV and electronics charging station are included. Each room also has a copy of The Art of Mauna Kea, a coffee-table book about Mr. Rockefeller's art collection.

“My time here felt like discovering the happiest place on earth, a truly special corner of Kohala Coast where breathtaking ocean views meet a simply gorgeous beach. There's an understated elegance to the place, a feeling of being genuinely cared for by the staff that makes you want to return even before you leave. It's a splurge, certainly, but the experience delivered feels well worth the investment.”
