The Fairmont Kea Lani is my favorite resort on the island of Maui. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are spacious, and there is a multi-level pool slide for Crew Member Tandori to live out his inner-child. However, every time I'm in Maui with my friends, they all make fun of me for insisting on staying at the Fairmont, ridiculing me for being an elitist snob. The mockery even comes from Crew Members Drewsky and Tandori who ironically would put Carlton Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air to shame with their own snobbery. Knowing full well that their ridicule is simply intended to piss me off, I've threatened to book our next stay at the 1.5 star Aston Maui Lu Resort instead.
The one person who probably wouldn't mind staying at the Maui Lu, and who also loves teasing me for being a Fairmont elitist is our Green Crusader friend Callie. Well now the lovely Callie can stay in five-star luxury guilt-free as Fairmont Hotels & Resorts announced recently that they will extend their Green Cuisine program to include sustainable seafood choices to protect endangered marine species. As part of this initiative, Fairmont will no longer serve Chilean Sea Bass or Blue-Fin Tuna, both which have seen a dramatic decrease in their population due to over-fishing. This undoubtedly will make Crew Member Tandori NOT want to stay at the Fairmont as he not only enjoys Chilean Sea Bass and Blue-Fin Tuna, but gains a depraved sense of enjoyment from contributing to the extermination of a species.
