The resort pick, and the one we'd talk you out of for the night before. Four Seasons at Ko Olina is AAA Four Diamond and Forbes Four-Star, with an adults-only pool and beach, the 35,000-sq-ft Naupaka Spa and Mina's Fish House, on Oahu's west side.
Our road estimate to Pier 2 is about 24 miles and 37 minutes with no traffic, and the resort's own page says 35 minutes to downtown. That's a highway drive on sail morning, before anyone's traffic.
Where it earns its place is either side of the cruise. The Arrival & Departure Lounge has luggage storage and a place to freshen up, so a late flight home after the ship isn't an afternoon in a terminal chair.
Book it for the days before or after, and spend the last night ashore in town.
Book it if
- A beach week before or after the cruise
- Couples after the adults-only pool
- A late flight home that needs a place to wait
Look elsewhere if
- It's your only night before the ship.
- You want every fee known up front — the pages don't say whether there's a resort fee.

Resort transfer
