If butler-drawn baths and brocade drapery are your cup of tea, book a room at this elegant hillside property. Although not set directly on the sand, the resort does command views of D. T.

If you've never tried foie gras ice cream, don't be shy. The menu is daring but delectable. Nothing is prepared as it should be: the priciest dish, lobster and scallops, is a salad, and the fish of Hawai'ian royalty, moi, is served atop Indian-spice lentils with a yogurt sauce. We recommend placing ...
