Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa

Crowning an ancient lava flow cascading into the serene waters along Hawaii's leeward coast, Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa is a refuge unlike any other. The Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa rests on 22 spectacular oceanfront acres. Keauhou means "new beginning" and Hawaii's newest resort offers travelers a family and honeymoon friendly environment.

Comfortable elegance awaits you in each of our 521 rooms and suites. With all-new furnishings and warm, contemporary fabrics, the decor is decidedly modern, while incorporating colors and textures inspired by the stunning natural landscape outside your window. But the centerpiece of every guest room is certainly the new Sheraton Sweet Sleeper bed -- featuring a custom plush top mattress, a cloud-like duvet and five deluxe pillows.

Offering an average of 420 square feet in every standard room, as well as a spacious lanai, you'll find plenty of space to unwind and take in the sweeping views. In-room amenities include such comforts as bathrobes in our Kona Wing guest rooms and oval shower rods in all guest rooms. For those desiring even more space, our opulent Presidential and Deluxe Executive suites provide a host of luxurious amenities and conveniences.

A river system connects the upper and lower pools, leads to a waterfall and transitions a 200-foot-long lava tube waterslide. With an elevation change of 24 feet from starting deck to the water and a figure-eight pattern leading to the pool, the thrilling waterslide is the center of pool fun and activity. A 900-square-foot sandy-bottomed children's pool includes a large sandy beach area for play, sunning and lounging

Picture a large, shadow-like creature gliding like an acrobat through crystal clear ocean waters. Strangely shaped, yet hauntingly beautiful and graceful, one cannot help but crave to learn more. What is it you have seen? You have seen a manta ray, the largest of the ray species, reaching wing spans of more than twenty feet and weighing as much as 3,000 pounds. Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa has teamed together with local manta ray expert, James L. Wing, to re-create an environment attractive to the world-famous Keauhou Manta Rays and welcome them back to a familiar feeding ground.

Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa has long been one of the preferred feeding areas for these mysterious and amazingly beautiful creatures. Guests will be able to observe the mantas nightly from the lanai (balcony) of their rooms or from special viewing areas within the resort's grounds. Each night at sunset, Mr. Wing and his interns will conduct a complimentary half-hour lesson about current manta studies on behavior and habitat.

For those who want a more "up close and personal" encounter with these enchanting creatures, the Manta Experience takes guests into the water for a nighttime snorkel or SCUBA dive excursion to the site, simultaneous to the lesson taking place in the resort. Additionally, a special high definition underwater camera is being installed so guests can observe the manta rays and the Manta Experience at any time day or night on a dedicated in-room channel or via the hotel's website.

Kai is the place for start-your-day right breakfasts with stunning bay views. In the evening, the restaurant is transformed for its elegant offerings of dynamic Hawaiian Regional fare prepared with an island flair.

And for a unique Hawaiian cultural and dining experience, you will want to reserve your place at the table for Origins at the Luau Grounds at Keauhou - a culinary and cultural experience that is truly something to write home about. (Held each Monday and Thursday evening).

Crystal Blue is the place to gather for sunset - manta ray - and people - watching from the late afternoons to the late evenings. Elegant wines, micro-brewed beers, colorful tropical cocktails and more at Crystal Blue. (Opening 1st Quarter, 2005)
