Leonardo DiCaprio Takes a Respectable Vacation in Hawaii

Remember the days of the Pussy Patrol?  When Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and their lesser-known accomplices terrorized the ladies of the world with their decadent, no-limit ways?  Those days are long gone, as the boys' most recent vacation shows.  They went to Hawaii and hung out on the beach...along with various girlfriends, fiancees, and buns in the ovens.  The increased estrogen only means fancier digs.  Here are two of the Big Island's best hotels, conveniently located directly next to each other in Kona-Kailua.

Kona Village Resort - This all-inclusive resort is one of the oldest hotels in Hawaii, and it charms the pants off everyone who goes there (accordingly, it's a very popular honeymoon spot).  The guest rooms are all freestanding bungalows scattered about the property, making it ideal for privacy.  The beach  is excellent for snorkeling, with a reef that's home to turtles, octupii, all kinds of fish, and somewhat terrifyingly, moray eels.

Four Seasons Hualalai - This is the much more refined of the two hotels.  Well, mostly.  It's the hotel Whitney Houston stayed at seven years ago when she tried to smuggle pot back onto the mainland.  Drug addicts notwithstanding, the hotel has a very elegant feel, and provides little details like water bottles for car trips and cakes on birthdays.  The beach isn't as good at this hotel, so they've provided the "King's Pond," an enclosed salt water pool with the full array of marine life.  It's pretty cool, and perfect for more sedate snorkelers.
