We just got back from Lanai yesterday. It was wonderful - even jusitifed 16 hours of flying each way to get there!

stayed at both the Lodge and the Manele Bay. To get the best ouf of the island, you really do need to stay in both.

Accomodations are pretty luxurious, and the service is also good. However, the food is on the OK side of good, but very expensive. Not surprisingf, given that the hotels have a near monopoly and are known for their upmarket clientele. We ate a couple of nights in Henry Clay's at the Hotel Lanai in town. Food is pretty good, but again pretty expensive for what you got.

The best atmosphere we experienced was at the golf club at Manele Bay. Food is good, wine is also good and the views (especially of the sunset) are awesome.

To add to the list of activities, the Trilogy snorkelling / scuba trip is to be recommended.
