Capische? - A small, intimate Italian restaurant with a sweeping ocean view, Capische? is situated at the end of a hallway behind a flagstone half-wall and next to a soaring, concave flagstone wall topped by a smaller version of the lobby's ceiling. A pianist plays nightly.

Amenity highlights: Partially open to western views, separate men's and women's baths make it possible for guests to enjoy the sun melting into the ocean while they are submerged in a warm, flowing-water bath. Like everything else at Diamond Resort, the baths are spacious enough to suspend guests in silence. Room keycards, not fees and appointments, are all that's necessary to enter the baths and enjoy a sauna, a waterfall massage, and a thorough soaping and rinsing next to the bathing pool. Adjacent to the baths, the health spa offers hydrotherapy, men's and women's facials, various massages, and body scrubs/wraps. One level below the baths is a large swimming pool surrounded by a sundeck.

Insider tip: Isolated at the oceanside edge of an expansive lawn just inside the resort's entrance, a solitary pagoda-like gazebo with a jade-green wood-shingle roof provides as romantic a setting for viewing sunsets as can be found in Maui, and a perfect site for counting whales during the winter.

Other notable features include: the spacious, fully equipped fitness center offering expert personal training; a library of Japanese and English books; numerous sculptures, vases, and other art objects throughout the buildings and property; the large swimming pool where guests, after donning swimming suits, can take a plunge following indulgence in the baths; and the mountain stream, which begins outside the main building, tumbles over waterfalls, passes under bridges half concealed by lush tropical plantings, and flows through koi ponds while coursing down the resort's property and deepening the silence around it. The stream terminates in a large, lagoon-like koi-and-lily-pad pond, where guests' children enjoy feeding the fish.

The resort provides complimentary shuttle service to golf courses and other attractions— including beaches and the mall called The Shops at Wailea—throughout the exclusive Wailea community.
