Honeymoon in Hawaii - torn between Big Island and Maui
Getting married in Oahu next July, and planning on taking a plane to another of the islands right after for our honeymoon! We’re both in our 40s, would love to do some moderate hiking and snorkeling, and stay at a relatively quiet resort. Because it’ll be our honeymoon, we’d prefer it to be as adult-only as possible. Out of all the characteristics of a resort that matter to me, I’d say good service matters the most. Doing some research in this sub and generally, I’m currently debating between Hotel Wailea and Four Seasons Hualalai.
The quiet and adults only aspect of HW is of course very appealing, I’m willing to accept that it might not be a true Chubby level experience, but FS Hualalai seems to be very highly regarded and I love the idea of being able to see an active volcano on the Big Island. Maui hiking and sightseeing doesn’t seem as special to me, but that’s just from a cursory look online. What do people think? Would FS Hualalai have a ton of families in July? Would it be worth it to just go with HW on Maui instead?
