I have been blessed to stay at some of the finest resorts in Hawaii.  Most of them have been on or near the ocean.  The Lodge at Koele has no ocean or a beach.  It is set in the middle of Lanai amidst large Cook Pines and Eucalyptus trees.  The hotel is a throwback to Old Hawaii with a Plantation feel that takes you out of the city and into an Island paradise.  From the time you check in until the time you reluctantly leave there is a peace that fills your soul here.  This is by far one of my favorite places to visit and stay in Hawaii.  If you are looking for a hula show with Mai Tai's and hundreds of tourists this is not the place for you.  If you want to kick back, chill out and be pampered in a beautiful natural setting with down to earth people who seem to genuinely care about your stay, then The Lodge at Koele is the place for you.  You know this place is special when you drive up to the entrance and are greeted by a Conk Shell salute and then are presented with a Kukui Nut Lei, cold towel and fresh chilled juice.  No going to the front desk here.  The staff escorts you to the Great Hall where your check in is done at a comfortable table.  Your key is brought to your table with personalized service.  The service here is exceptional with most employees knowing you by name within 24 hours.  The employees are the essence of Lanai.  Most have been working at the hotel for many years.  We met several that opened the hotel over 20 years ago.  They are still there and seem to love it.  Once you enter the Great Hall, you are naturally drawn to the open doors that lead to the garden.  Once outside you will experience complete calm as you stroll through the grounds and take in the smells of nature and natural beauty of Lanai.  You will find more on the Lodge guest rooms and dining on this blog.  The Lodge at Koele is a gem in Hawaii.  This is the place I want to visit over and over again.  My entire family is already wanting to plan a return visit.
