Not sure if this qualifies as 'recent,' but we were there for 10 nights last July, in an OV suite + connecting dbl. A fabulous property generally. Rooms are a bit formally decorated for Hawai'i (property was originally a Ritz Carlton, and furnishings look it) but are very nice by any standard. Grounds are beautiful if perhaps not at the Wailea level of over-the-top gorgeous. Brown's Beach House is a great restaurant with a zillion-dollar view at sunset. The tennis facilities and staff are superb and have programs for everyone, regardless of skill level. (We don't golf, but the golf courses looked wonderful too.) The private cove and beach are great, you can just run down and snorkel (often with the giant sea turtles that live on the property) any time the urge strikes. We would definitely return. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.
