Lanai

Description: This grand country estate radiates luxury and quiet romance in the highlands edging Lanai City. Secluded by old pines, over one mile of paths ramble through formal gardens. Take in afternoon tea served in front of the massive stone fireplaces under the high-beamed ceilings of the incredible Great Hall. You will never tire of this beautiful country estate.

Location: 828Lanai Ave., Lanai City, Lanai, Hawaii

Average Price: $105-$135 double; $175 cottage double.

Description: This hotel is great for families who cannot spend $400 (and up) a night. Although it does not possess the facilities other higher-end facilities have, it does have that old-fashioned aloha that Lanai City is known for. This clapboard plantation-era relic has maintained its quaint character and serves as a wonderful country inn. The rooms are small but clean and the hotel boasts an excellent restaurant.
