I got my May/June edition of Departures Magazine today and was surprised that Hyatt wasn't included in their top 15 Hawaiian Resorts. While Hyatt did win in other non-Hawaii categories, I would have thought that at least one Hyatt property would have made it on the list.

The top 15:
1. Four Seasons Resort Hualalai (Hawaii)
2. Four Seasons Resort at Maui (Maui)
3. Princeville Resort (Kauai)
4. The Ritz-Carlton at Kapalua (Maui)
5. Halekulani (Oahu)
6. Grand Wailea Resort (Maui)
7. Kahala Mandarin Oriental (Oahu)
8. Hilton Waikoloa Village (Hawaii)
9. The Royal Hawaiian (Oahu)
10. The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui (Maui)
11. The Manele Bay Hotel (Lanai)
12. Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows (Hawaii)
13. The Lodge at Koele (Lanai)
14. Kapalua Bay Hotel (Maui)
15. Ali' Tower at Hilton Hawaiin Village (Oahu)

Can't believe the Pink Palace or Hilton Hawaiian Village (Alii Tower or not, it's still a zoo on the wrong end of town) would beat out Hyatt Kauai. Not that surprised Waikiki & Maui did not make it - they usually don't on these types of ratings, but I still like Waikiki better than any other Waikiki Hotel (love that RC & the Diamond Head views!)
