Bradley Cooper, star of "Silver Linings Playbook" and all of those "Hangover" movies, was spotted frolicking with John Krasinski of "The Office" and Emily Blunt of "The Adjustment Bureau" in Hawaii recently, per Chiderah Monde of the New York Daily News.
I'm not here to say jealous, hateful things about Cooper. In fact, he's awesome and I can't deny that.
Instead, Cooper's relaxing hang time with his pals in sunny Hawaii got me thinking about which resort I would go to if I was him.
Here are the resorts I would have chosen, in no particular order. You're welcome in advance, Bradley.
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'Upulehu (Big Island)
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai won't come cheap and you should be prepared to spend a lot of money here, but if you are looking for a true 5-star experience, look no further.
Rated 4.9 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews and voted as the top Hawaiian resort by readers on CNTraveler.com, you can't go wrong with Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. From ocean-view suites to spas and massage to activities like canoeing, rock climbing, golfing and tennis, this resort has it all in a spectacular setting.
As for dining, you can either sit outside in ocean-side lounges or take your pick of three restaurants indoors.
Add several pools for the kids to play in and you have yourself the definition of a luxury resort.
St. Regis Princeville Resort (Kauai)
Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews, St. Regis Princeville Resort in Kauai features the setting, accommodations, amenities and activities to keep you happy.
Overlooking Hanalei Bay, the resort is located in a 9,000 acre resort community. Spas, pools, yoga and an athletic center are all included in a 10,000-square-foot spread.
The astounding Makana Terrace is situated right next to the bay and gives an open view of Makana Mountain, making it an ideal location for dining and weddings. Add several other brilliant dining venues and a traditional Hawaiian show and St. Regis certainly rivals Four Seasons Resort Hualalai.
Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa (Kauai)
Grabbing 4.7 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews, Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa not only has a great location situated between Haupu Mountain and the Pacific Ocean, it also offers all the accommodations and amenities you would expect from an upscale resort.
Featuring 602 guest rooms with balconies, a spectacular Presidential Suite, several restaurants surrounded by still water and waterfalls, resort-based games and contests, and an organized six-day family adventure that includes botanical gardens and sea cliffs, what's not to like about Grand Hyatt Kauai?
It doesn't hurt that the resort has its own golf course and a luxurious spa featuring massage, body treatments and facials.
Yawn, just another day in paradise.
The Fairmont Kea Lani (Maui)
You discover enough of the Hawaiian resorts and it becomes harder and harder to choose which one you like best.
The Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui is another example of a spectacular Hawaiian destination. Boasting 22 acres, the resort features one-bedroom suites with 860 square feet of living space, pools, private courtyards, barbecue grills, four restaurants, a spa, a fitness center, several golf courses, tennis courts and water adventures.
Oh yeah, and the resort will be opening up a new 9,000-square-foot stream spa in December, as if it needed any more luxuries.
Koa Kea Hotel & Resort (Kauai)
Look, another resort with ocean-view rooms and a gorgeous setting!
Koa Kea Hotel & Resort at Poipu Beach features 121 rooms with HDTV, iPod docking stations and a private lanai, as well as private dining, a sushi bar and a spa with five treatments.
The acclaimed resort also provides for several activities, including golf, snorkeling, zip lining, biking, sailing and horseback riding.
The main pool area is set up beautifully, overlooking the ocean and exhibiting well-placed lighting.
The Koa Kea also features packages, including a romance and honeymoon offering called "Tropical Desire."
