Also, I didn't see anything about the on-site spa, Abhasa. As expected, it is expensive ... and according to my wife, it was worth it. We had the Hawaiian-style Lomi Lomi massage, which will be the special for just about every spa on the island.

A warning to those making reservations at the spa, there are up-sells. When you arrive in the cabana, you are presented with a selection of three lotions (all smell great ... lavender something, coconut something, and rosemary something). You are also presented with a price list for a few oil selections (coconut something and two others, as well as essential oils). At the end of the massage during checkout, you are presented with "recommendations" from the masseuse, which may include oil used during your massage or something else from the spa store.

Also, an 18% gratuity is already included in the rate, so don't be confused when they hand you the receipt and it has a suggested gratuity calculation listed on it.
