Lanai is great if you don’t mind paying for the hotels and want somewhere really quiet and relaxing in the Hawaii archepelego. There were only two hotels when we went, both Sheratons, one on the beach and one inland. We loved our stay — doing nothing but soak up the sun and relax. Only problem is, except for the hotel, there’s no where really to eat and as we went during a bank holiday, even the hotel’s (very expensive) restaurants were not all open. No supermarkets anywhere nearby. The best value we found was the room service.

If you want to be entertained, the other islands are better, but this is the one for peace and quiet. There’s lots of golf if you’re into that kind of thing.
