westin?
hi,
can anyone help me with some information please.
there was a show on tv here in the uk re best beaches in the us, and the no 1 was on the big island of hawaii.
im almost sure it was muana kea beach and the hotel overlooking the beach was a westin.
am i wrong here because i cant find any reference to a westin on the island.
thanks in advance.

I think that gfk did mean the Big Island. Hapuna Beach is the nicest beach on the island {my opinion and others too}. Mauna Kea and Prince Hapuna Beach hotels are next to each other [both owned by Prince] amd share this beach. They are both lovely properties and the beach is wide and long by Hawaii standards.
The Westin on Ka'anapali Beach on Maui is also very nice. I stayed at both places in the past 2 weeks and they are very different hotels and beaches.
I guess we won't know until gfk comes back and posts!

The Mauna Kea is a nice resort on a beautiful beach. Though categorizing beaches as "best" is purely subjective there is no doubt that Kauna'oa Beach that the Mauna Kea Resort sits on is very beautiful. There is not a Westin Hotel on the BI though there is the sister property Sheraton on Keauhou Bay.
Here's a link to a review of the Mauna Kea Resort:

The Mauna Kea is a Prince hotel which I do not believe has any connections with Sheraton. Shearaton is a Starwood porperty along with Westin, W and others.
The Hapuna Beach next door is sister hotel to Mauna Kea.
Mauna Kea suffered damage from quake and while open, some rooms are off inventory. Batik restaurant is closed too.
