Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay: Spa Manager Teresa Blackwell suggests guests spend part of their extra day in The Spa with the new custom blended perfume experience.

This scent can also be blended into oils and lotions to be used in the guest's spa treatments to continue the harmonious and relaxing experience. The Resort is offering its 4th Night Free promotion now through March 19th, 2009, with nightly room rates from $445.
