And for the ultimate in Hawaiian service, one can swim up to the Grotto Bar, located in the Wailea Canyon Activity Pool, for a refreshing tropical drink. In the lobby, the Botero Lounge is situated among nine Botero sculptures which Livit explains are some of the most prestigious pieces in the resort's art collection. For a special dining experience, the hotel's luau blends food, community and culture into an unforgettable experience. "One of our most popular activities on prop- erty is the Grand Luau at Honua'ula," Livit shares. "It tells the story of La'amaikahiki and Moikeha, voyagers who sailed from Tahiti to Maui aboard a canoe. The four-hour show takes guests on a journey from early- to modern-day Maui through music, dance, chanting and a cap- tivating fire dance finale. Guests are served inventive modern twists on traditional Hawaiian dishes such as surf-and-turf poke on kimchee and Molokai sweet potatoes drizzled with guava syrup and macadamia-nut butter." For those interested in staying at the resort with a larger group of people, Ho'olei provides ocean view, luxurious two-story villas with two to three bedrooms, kitchens, laundry facilities, a garage and maid service, along with access to all the resort amenities. "Ho'olei is ideal for multigenerational families, groups of friends or anyone looking for new more spacious vacation options," Livit says. Once-in-a-lifetime memories are ensured at the resort.
