This will be an anniversary trip for us. We don't want tons of people

Given your criteria, you've made 2 excellent selections. You didn't say
how
long you are planning to stay, so it's difficult to advise you, but, you
may
very well want to visit both islands and stay at both hotels. The only
other
hotels I would recommend for people looking for what you suggested would
be
Turtle Bay on the North Shore of Oahu as it has superb golf and tennis
facilities, Four Seasons Wailea and Grand Wailea which are near the
Renaissance Wailea are also very nice. Or for a very remote and off the
beaten track hotel, the Hana Maui is ideal for honeymooners and
anniversary
celebrations, though it isn't as posh as the others mentioned, it isn't
near
any touristy areas. If you do stay at a hotel in the Wailea area, be
sure to
take the drive to Hana since you like sightseeing. Two other nice
sightseeing trips are the drive from Wailea to Lahaina via
Kahului-Wailuku
and the north shore and then return to Wailea via the south shore, or
vice
versa. And the drive up Haleakala is a must see for sight-seers to Maui.
And again, you are invited to visit my webpages at:

advertising, no pop-ups, no cookies and nothing for sale. Bon voyage.

I tend to disagree on your hotel rec's - the Four Seasons is sterile
with a crowded pool area & sometimes snotty staff (gorgeous rooms,
tho!) & the Grand Wailea is a zoo with pretty dinky rooms for what
you're paying & indifferent service. Although, I love their Spa
Grande, among the best in the world! I'm also not a big fan of Turtle
Bay & still looks old & run down, even w/ renovations - guess
different strokes for...
Hmmm, you sound like a travel agent who doesn't get spiffed for those hotels.
