1. downside? While Hualalai in my opinion has a far more interesting beach than is typical, its beach is not the kind that supplies opportunities to throw yourself into its waves.

2. If I had to pick a downside I would say that for what we are used to the cost of meals was a bit high however almost always worth it.

3. Only downside was a botched Spa appointment, but they made good on it and accomodated us with minimal disruption.

"First Family Vacation - will be hard to top " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/28/2011 Vote

4. I guess room service access was also a downside, but they were well prepared for that as well - just call up room service and they will deliver to the Valet, so a quick trip via car or golf cart, all done.
